AUSTRIA’S AFFAIRS

Social Democrat Leaders TWENTY FOR TRIAL ASSOCIATED WITH REVOLT WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? THE MISSING PRISONERS Bv Telegraph—Press Assn —Copyright (Aust. and N.Z. Cable) (Received March 2, 10 a.m.) Vienna, March 1 Although the Tageblatt reports that about 20 of tile arrested SocialDemocrat leaders will shortly lie tried on a charge of having previous knowledge of the recent revolt, there is still uncertainty about the fate and treatment of the prisoners as a whole. Premier Dolltuss last week promised foreign newspaper correspondents an opportunity of seeing these prisoners, hut so far this has not been granted. It is believed the treatment of some of the prisoners is far from satisfactory, especially leading women deputies of Parliament of whom 12 are stated to l»e sharing one cell.
