Socialists Legalize Municipal Guard, The antagonism between the tath- olic bourgeois and the social demo- cratic members of the Vienna gow ernment threatened to become an open split yesterday when the Vienna municipal council, in a session that lasted most of night, legally estab- lished the permanence of the muni- cipal guard, the Burgerwache, creat~ ed by the social democratic mayor, Karl Seitz, during the recent upris- ing. This organization which is under the leadership of the social demo-~ crats has an enrollment of 1,000 which in ease of necessity can easily be in- creased to 35,000 by calling out the civil employes. Socialists Hope To Seize Government,, In the conservative papers this ac~ tion of the social democrats is seen as an attempt to seize full power ini Vienna in the interests of the social democratic bureaucracy by an appeali to arms if necessary. Kunschak, the! leader of the opposition, during the course of the debate on the legitimize! ing measure, accused Seitz of ‘“pre«/ paring for a civil war” in an effort, to secure the slipping allegiance the workers who are becoming aware’ that the struggle is not theirs but is geoisie and the social democrats for the possession of the Viennese gov~« ernment.
