Austrian Doctors
Strike ~ Hours
For Higher Fees

VIENNA. July 8 (AP).-Aus-
tria's 1900 doctors launched
a 24-hour strike today, de-
manding higher fees from the
Government run compulsory
health insurance pool.
A medical spokesman said
"as far as we know" all the ma
tons doctors needed the strike
call except those on emergency
duty.
The strike, denounced by the
Austrian Trade Federation,
triggered a protest demonstra-
ton before the headquarters of
the Austrian Medical Associa-
ton which ordered the walkout.
The conflict over the sickness
compensation fund involved
only Vienna doctors, but the
resi- OF Cne nations physicians
Joined the strike in a show of
support.
The contract between Vienna
doctors and the fund expired
about three months ago. Doc
tors demanded higher fees un-
der a new contract, but officials
of the fund refused.
The doctors had demanded
an increase that would have
raised their fees by IS per cent
under the new contract. Under
the old contract the average
monthly income of a medical
practitioner was estimated as
about 10000 schillings ($400)
a month.
