SERIOUS RIOTING
REPORTED AT LINZ OVER DEMANDS BY GERMAN WORKERS. GUNS USED AGAINST TROOPS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, September 1. Rioting on a large scale occurred recently in the Austrian town of Linz, where the Hermann Goering steel works are situated. The “Daily Telegraph” reports that German workers destroyed two blastfurnaces when demands were refused for the raising of their wages to the level of those of imported Italian workers. Local Storm Troopers, supplemented by police, fired on the workers, who replied with guns which apparently had been hidden for the occasion. Most of the male population of Linz joined the strikers in the street, fighting behind barricades. Women aided the strikers, throwing furniture from windows against the Nazis. Troops were sent from Vienna, 98 miles away, in a special train to quell the riot.
