WANTON DESTRUCTION
MANY TREASURES GONE LONDON, Monday. Dispatches from Vienna state that the railway, postal, telegraph and telephone services were reopened at midnight. The trades unions decided to call off the strike in order to bring the dispute back to a Parliamentary footing. The fashionable quarters of the city have resumed their usual light-heart-edness, even gaiety. Smartly gowned women and well-dressed men are promenading the streets as though nothing had happened. The police, however, still carry carbines, and soldiers still wear helmets. The burned-out shell of the Palace of Justice will long remain a reminder of “Red Friday.” Among the treasures destroyed was Austria’s centuries-old Doomsday Book. A register of marriages and divorces was among the burned legal records which cannot be replaced. The newspapers have reappeared and the Bourse has been reopened. Three hundred persons have been arrested, mostly Communists. They Include Herr Picek, president of the German Communists.—A. and N.Z.Sun.
