HE Austrian revolt has been satis-| factorilly disposed off for the time being and the American tourists agencies that had not anticipated such an unusual diversion as a rebellion when fixing a reasonable rate for the services rendered their customers may | demand a bonus. In view of the fact} attested to by practically all capi-| talist correspondents—that revolu-! tion is foreign to the nature of the} peace-loving Austrians, and that rare | things command a higher price than| common things, therefore since one revolution in Austria is worth more] on the market than a dozen in Al bania, we see no good reason why the American tourists should not antici-| pate the wishes of the agencies and kick in without having to be asked. * ae | 3 would seem that a hungry and|« angry Austrian flies to a lethal weapon with as much alacrity as al poetical Irishman or a dreamy and| skeptical Russian.

It is undoubtedly true that | this Austrian did on divers occassions in .the past vary the monotony of|5 this peaceful existence by indulging | in sundry wars called by his masters for his masters. Still, those were legal wars sanctioned by interna- tional usage and part of the political etiquette established by tradition. * wee would expect that the Aus- trian workers would commit such a crime against capitalist etiquette as to do a little shooting on their ewn and under their own mental steam? The blame must be laid some-| where. So with amazing originality | the correspondents with one voice said “Moscow.” That seemed to settle it, tho how a handful of Com- munists could send hundreds of thou- | sands to the barricades and on a gen- eral strike still leaves the question of blame in the air. * EST an attempt at satire, perhaps | clumpsy should add to the general confusion, the cause of the revolt is substantially as follows: The living conditions of the Austrian workers have been growing worse, despite the illusory heaven created for them by their social-democratic leaders. Tho possessing the power to govern the country in the interests of the pro- ducing classes the socialist leaders were content to have the workers do the work while the bourgeoisie de- termined under what conditions. * * * 'ASCISTS murdered workers with impunity and the latest example of government partiality for those aus * * fire to the inflammable indignation of the masses. ‘he socialist leaders, following the t&ctics of the German socialists ‘after the defeat -of the Kaiser’s army stuck to the’masses in order to betray them and butcher the militants.

Even murder may be carried to the point where it turns into a boomerang. * * * the assistance of the social- ists, the Austrian government has succeeded in disorganizing the spontaneous revolt of the workers, | The socialist machine which has been able to maintain a firm grip on the masses until now, has received the first serious shock since the revolu- tion that overthrew the Hapsburgs.
