VIENNA’S BLACK DAY
RIOT VICTIMS BURIED IMPRESSIVE SCENES By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Thursday. A message from Vienna says there were impressive scenes at the great central cemetery when the joint funeral was held of 57 victims of the recent riots. Thousands of mourners attended and the scene was most pathetic. It recalled the burial of the 400 victims of the Ring Theatre fire 40 years ago in the same cemetery. The Riga correspondent of the “Times” reports that the Soviet leaders refuse to believe that Vienna riots have been suppressed and are issuing fiery messages of encouragement to their revolutionary comrades in Austria. The Soviet leaders are also sending manifestoes to workers abroad urging them to follow up “the good beginning made at Vienna to destroy the bourgeoise.” The manifestoes declare the general strike is a sharp weapon only if directed by genuine revolutionaries. Austrian workers are told they must establish Soviets in every district and that Dr. Seipel’s Government must be destroyed and a workmen’s Govern ment must be established.—A. and N.Z.-Times.
