 ON WAGNER BILL

 Ranks of Workers

Washington. April g. (UP)- The vast majority of organized labor pinned its hopes today on passage of the Wagner labor dis putes bill and quieted threats of general strikes.

Lewis. president of United Mine Workers, who agreed to q truce with Presi- dent oRosevelt two weeks ago, ap- peared to be in control. Their de- sire to avoid strikes in return for administration support of labor legislation in congress influenced an 11th-hour agreement which prevented walkout of $50, 900 coal miners Monday. '-st
 Administration officials were so cheered by developments in the labor situation this week that they wired President Roosevelt a report indicating their belief the, crisis had passed in most major indus- tries.

AUSTRIA HEADED
 TOWARD CRISIS
 OF MUCH DANGER
Great Internal Strife Is Prevalent Cen
 ter of Europe Shaken


 Vienna, April -(UP)-Austfia seemed headed toward a new crisis of great potential danger today. There was growing tension between the governments two private armies, the Catholic storm troops CTS headed by Chancellor Kurt Won Schuschnigg and the Heimwehr of Prince Ernst Rudiger Von Starr hemberg, vice chancellor. In ads dition nazis and communists were intensely active under the surface, trying to stir up trouble and pres pairing to take advantage of any opportunity for a coup.
 Danger In Sight With Austria the nerve center Of Central Europe, the danger of seri-I ous complications to the already explosive Europeon situation wa& obvious. A principal reason for jealousy between the Heimwehr and the storm troopers was the plan to make Starhemberg regent of the county--a place holder for Archduke Otto of Hapsburg until the powers are ready to counten- ance a monarchy.
 Clashes Took Place
 There have been clashes re- gently between contingents of the two armies in several towns. There was a violent anti-government whispering campaign here. Not in months has there been such ac- tivity by nazis and communists, Coffee house and drawing room buzz with rumors which keep the people nervous. Chancellor Schus- chnigg is reported to be tired cf office, and the influence of fascism along the lines he advocates seems on the wane, If only for the mo- ment.
