Vienna, Dec. Ist.—Rioting of a seri- ous nature broke out in Vienna today, following a great demonstration hefore the Parliament building, where red flags were raised on improvised masts. Large crowds also attacked a number of fash- jonable hotels, most of which being those where foreigners reside. The new DBris- tol was the first of these hostelries to be assaulted. Its great doors were battered down, thus permitting the crowds to pour through into the building. They began to break windows some of which were as highas ‘the third floor, and io hurl bedding and {furniture into the mob, crowded into the street below. The old Bristol hotel later suffered the same fate, i;%g?costly furniture and rich tapes- tries being hauled out to the cheering crowds, which packed the streets swr- mund?%?ae building. The Grand Hotel the largest in the city, then in turn the hotel Imperial, "also were looted. The activities in these hotels, however, ap- peared to have been confined to the low- er floors The Vienna police were ap- parently helpless, many squads of them being seen standing quietiy by as on- lookers. Scenes of the plunder occurred throughout the whole city. Thousands of doliars worth of plateglass was smash- ed, until the principal streets this morn- ing' looked iike the work of a hutricane. Authorities expressed the beliei that the disturbance was traceable to com- munists origin. It ~ame very suddenly during a demonstration against the hizh eost of food, siaged in front of the Parliament building, in which many thousands joinad. Duringz the demon- strations ganges suddenly appeared in the central part ol the city and begao their work of destruction. The rapid rise in the prices of food and ciothing, the furth- er depreciation of the erown in the ex- . change murket and the bitter ecld weath- . er, together with the Govt’s. announce- . mer.t that food subsidies were {0 be abol- . ished. are considered to have combined | to provoke the Extremist element to disorder. The police. for the first time | in the many demonsirations that have | oecurred here seem to have failed utteriy . in tke role of preservers of the peace, or | else they were acting, it was assumed, . under instructions from the authorities, . who mav have feared turning what thue far had been bloodless, into a sanguinary L afiair : i London.
