AUSTRIA: Austria

While Austria is evincing a determined attitude by rejuvenating her decayed economic condition, she is as yet totally unable to deal with internal strife directed by the populace against the Jews and by the monarchists against the populace.

An anti-Semitic demonstration occurred in Vienna during which street cars were derailed and Jews beaten and stabbed. Ninety-nine arrests were made. Although the police were forewarned, they were unable to cope with the disturbance.

The strange event of Royalists and Socialists meeting in the same inn had an unfortunate sequel when the two parties inadvertently left the building at the same time. The monarchists, armed with whips and revolvers, slashed and fired at the laborites, killing one and wounding two others. The assailants fled before the arrival of the police.
