RIOTS IN VIENNA
CLASH WITH POLICE WORKERS INFLAMED By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.30 a.m. VIENNA, Friday. CERIOUS rioting followed the acquittal, despite a plea of guilty, of three anti-Socialists, on a charge of murdering two Socialists and wounding five others in a village of Schotiendorf. The acquittal aroused the working men of Vienna, who downed tools and marched in front of the Law Courts, shouting “Revolution!” “Kill the Fassist!” and “Revenge!” The police were powerless, and eventually when attacked they fired 20 rounds into the crowd, who then sullenly began to disperse. Later the mob rushed the Law Courts, looted the rooms, and set fire to the building. They prevented the firemen from attempting to extingush the flames. —A. and N.Z.
