AUSTRIAN PREMIER INDUSTRIAL LEADER Gave Up Military Career to Follow Father as Manufacturer. Bvecial Digpateh to The Star VIENNA, May 25 -—Modern methods of production, rationalization and effi- ciency played a great role in the iife of Austria’s new chancellor, Ernst Streeruwitz. _ Unlike his _predecesscr. Mgr. Igoaz Seipel, papal prelate, who Was & professar of theology bofore he entered the arena of public life, the present prime miinister of the Austrian Republic has never led the qulet life of a gcholar. He isa man of practical experience, and fong before he ap- peared on the political stage he was an industrial lead’r and successful organizer. Ernst Streeruwitz was born on Sep- tember 23, 1874, the son of a textile manufacturer and Deputy to the old | Austrian Parliament, Georg Adolf Ritter von Streeruwitz, at Mies, in Engerland, which now belongs to Czechoslovakia. Chose Military Career. Like many sops of the wealthy patri- ciate of the monarchy, he chose a mili- tary carecr, and after ha ‘prssed through the military academy of Wiener- Neustadt obtained an officer’s commis- | sion in a smart cavalry regiment. But military life did not seem to agree long with his independent character. After four gears of active service he left the army and resumed his studies at the technieal college and the Uni- versity of Vienna to become a_textile manufacturer like his father. He was intrpsted with the manzgement of various textile factories, and when war broke out he rejoined his former regi- ment and went to the front. But his superiors thought that he could do more jmpertant work than fighting, and soon called him back to Vienna to carry out difficult organizing tasks After the armistice he resumed his former profession and again held lead- ing positions in the commercial world. He pecame vice president of the Cham- ber of Commerce in Vienna, head of the employers’ association of the Nether- austrian textile industry and of the organization of Austrian cotton printers, member of the committee for ration- alization and vice president of the In- dustrial Club. There are few commer- elal ‘and industrial corporations in this country in which his name does not re. Worked 16 Hours a Day. Mr. Sterruwitz. never believed in the | eight-hour day for himself, although he advocated it for his workers. Six- teen hours of work and eight hours of sleep, with now and then an hour or two set aside for recreation enabled him to do constructive work wherever he was placed. | In 1923 Mr. Streeruwitz was elected to Parliament on the Christian social list. The biggest political party of Aus- tria bad invited him to join its ranks because it wanted a man with so much practical experience in economic mat- ters to help solve the complicated in- dustrial and financial problems of the recanstructed period. M, Streeruwitz soon became a mem- ber.of all the more important parlia- mentary committees. In 1924 he was appointed curator of the Netheraus- trian Land Mortgage Bank, which was then in a precarious state, and he suc- cesstully reorganized the agricultural credit system on a sound basis and de- | veloped the bank into a powerful insti- tution. Supervised Bank Liquidation. n as g result of, the inflation exa, the Central k in Vienna broke down M. Streeruwitz, was among- the govern- | ment delegates who supervised the liquidation. Ome of his greatest achieve- ments is the economic reorganization of | Burgenland, & former Hungarian prov- | ince, which was handed over to Austria in_the peace treaty of Trianon. | Mr. Streeruwitz has never ben much interested in the petty quarrels of daily | party strife, as all his energy has been | absorbed by questions of economy. . As | the Austrian Republic is again to make delicate decisions of an economic na- ture, the choice of the new chancellor can be termed as a particularly lucky one, for there are few persons in the public life of this country who are as competent economists as he. The most serious task awaiting Mr. Streeruwitz is | the Teform ofthe house rent restriction | law, the last remnant of public inter- ference with ptivate property. inherited ' from the war times, Mr. Strerruwitz ‘is married to the daughter of an industrialist and is the father of four children.
