Resentment, i
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The pri-1
vate relations between the New Deal
ers and congressmen are daily grow
In? less and less cordial on the inside.
The congressmen have nothing
' atralnst Mr. Roosevelt, but they are
quite unhappy about the way they
are being treated by his aides gen
erally. This feeling may not be entirely
Justified. Possibly the congressmen
are hypersensitive about the Increas
ing lnconspicuousness of their place
In the Washington picture. Never
theless, the situation has grown so
bad that a southern Democrat said
In the house rules committee hear
ing the other day:
"The only two courteous people in
the administration are Roosevelt and
Farley.
Mishap.
A personal misunderstanding be
tween Miss Perkins-and the house Is
a good example of what Is happen
ing. The labor secretary wanted four
million dollars for her federal em
ployment agencies. She convinced the
budget director that she ought to
have it. The house appropriations
sub-committee was hesitant about
giving It to her. She went to see the
committee at a secret hearing.
House men consider such hearings
strictly confidential. If there Is any
talking to be done about the ses
sions, they want to do it themselves.
Miss Perkins was apparently un
aware of that, for she came out of
the meeting and gave the newsmen
a complete account of what trans
pired inside. It was all favorable to
her side of the question and not to
theirs.
Whatever chance Miss Perkins had
of getting her four millions prob
ably was lost when the congressmen
read an account of their secret ses
sion In the newspapers.
They slashed her hobby allotment
money exactly in half, offering her
two millions.
That was quite an unusual step.
Ordinarily, congressmen accept budget
estimates without serious question,
especially when they are accom
panied by fervent administration ap
peals to a congress controlled over
whelmingly by the administration.
Some of Miss Perkins" friends tried
to get her four million fund restored
when the matter was debated later
on the floor of the house. The
vote was overwhelmingly against her.
Monument.
In the pre-Roosevelt era It was
considered bad for cabinet members
to permit such misunderstandings to
arise. In those days, the congress
man, like the customer, was always
right in any of the government de
partments. It was not a question of
courtesy, but of self-preservation.
House members ba-sed their decision
on the ground that four millions wee
not needed at this time. They had a
riRht to that view. But perhaps they
also recalled that the house labor
commltee once Invited Miss Perkins
to appear as a witness and she re
plied by telling them to come to see
her. Or they may have read the
story about Senator Pat Harrison be
ing kept waitlnn In an anteroom at
the labor department so long that
even his unusual patience was ex
hausted and he stormed out. saying
he would not be back.
The congressmen, however, are ap
parently unaware of the Inside ad
ministration talk thet Miss Perkins
Is probably the only New Dealer out

This week, also, illness has run

VIKNNA, Feb. 12. (AP) Approximately 80 men were killed In bloody
hostilities between socialists and the government today as reports from
various points showed:
Ten dead In Vienna;
Twenty-six dead In Graz;
Thirty-two to forty-two dead In Llnz.
A desperate battle broke out at 9 P. !., In Margarlteu and Schoen

Artillery pieces opened fire this after
noon on fighting soclallsta barricaded
in a stronghold on the edge of the

Even bb the cannon roared out, 16
men lay dead and 50 more seriously
wounded.
VIENNA, Feb. 12.- (AP) The pol
itical power house of Austria blew
up today with a socialist general
strike and government reprisals which
cost upwards of 50 lives as bloody
fighting raged in Vienna. Llnz. Graz
and finally spread to the munitions
centers of Steyr, Bruckandermur and
Eggenberg.
At least 10 were killed in street
fighting In Vienna.
From 31 to 42 according to var
ious unofficial estimates lost their
lives In battles at Linz in which
hand grenades, machine guns, and
even artillery howitMrs were used.
Every military arm of the govern
ment, augmented by the police and
the Fascism Heimwehr. was thrown
into the conflict in an effort to re
store order.
Vienna Besieged
Vienna tonight looked like a cap
ital besieged by an Invading army.
Her broad strasses were barricaded
by barbed wire entanglements.
Military trucks, ambulances, and
buses -mounted with machine-guns
patrolled' thoroughfares open to traf
fic. At every Intersection where danger
threatened, machine gun crews, their
ugly weapons mounted fo action,
stayed on duty with orders to keep
the peace at all cost.
Martial law, denying every citizen
the right under penalty of death
to possess a gun, ruled In Vienna
and Llnz.
Even the famous old churches of
Vienna with their ancient steeples
were surmounted with the machine
guns of government ' forces.
Despite their precautions, street
rioting had claimed 10 lives before
nightfall.
Pusk of Terror
It was a dusk of terror.
All shop windows were covered
with steel shutters and Iron bars
All cafes were closed by 8 o'clock.
Whole sections of the city were
without electric lights. Candles were
seen burning In houses.
The only thing lacking from a pic
ture of war time was the roar of
airplane motors overhead.
Instead, the government forces and
battling detachments of socialist
military, employed every other means
of transportation.
Troops were moved by bus and
truck. Early In the evening an arm
ored troop train departed from the
east railway station of the capital
for an unrevealed destination.
Water Supply neld
Although other public services were
disrupted, the water supply was left
untouched for the present at least.
The street car service was paralyz
ed. The shadowy hulks of the dark
ened cars lay In haphazard fashion
in the streets wherever the strike
overtook them. Only a few of the
disabled transports were dragged
nway to the car barns by auto trucks.
A large number of persons were
reported wounded and It was said
that 60 of these at least might die
from their Injuries. .
BUTCHER? WILL MEET
AT CHAMBER TONIGHT
All the butchers of the city are
scheduled to meet this evening at
the Chamber of Commerce at 8:00
o'clock, it was announced, this aft

one-day strike slowed down the whole

The French federation of labor,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. (AP)
The NRA's ambition, so far as its
"cut-the -hours" drive Is concerned,
la believed to be a 36-hour rather
than a 32-hour week.
General Hugh S. Johnson's repeat
ed urging of the shorter work week
was explained by persons close to
NRA today as sort of a decoy. A de
liberate overshooting of the admin
istration mark Is believed designed,
in part, to give the administration
a margin with which to work for a
compromise at the 36-hour figure.
The official word on the subject
probably will not be heard until
March 5. The code authorities meet
here on ths date in the first assem

TINY CHANCELLOR WAGES
FIGHT TO RETAIN POWER
(By the Associated Press)
Bloodshed and a national uprising of socialists throughout Austria
today marked the climax of a year-long battle that the diminutive "vest
pocket" chancellor, Engelbert Ddllfues, has waged against Marxism on
the one hand and Nazlism on the other.
Chained by the chancellor with
conspiring with bolshevlst elements
in "an unprecedented criminal plot,"
socialists declared a nation-wide
strike and at Linz defied police in
a bloody battle that took over thirty
lives.
Recent decrees have marked,. In
the opinion of close observers, the
domination of the Fascist Heimwehr
In the Austrian government. A Heim
wehr government a few days ago
displaced the civil government in the
Tyrol. Heimwehr leaders directed the
campaign to outlaw Marxism.
' Where the Nazi figure In today's
events was not entirely clear, but the
history of their rise within the year
since the Austrian-born Adolf Hitler
ascended to power In Germany leaves
no doubt but that they will seize
the first moment to achieve at least
a share in Austria's dictatorial gov
