25X1 X 1. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Austria (KPOo) has been
Informed that the government coalition hopes to forestall strikes by a peacemeal
announcement of the results of the wage-price talks. Apparently as a result
of a deep Commmist penetration of the Socialist leadership,, the Communists
claim they will know immediately when an agreement is reached, and will theses-,
selves release a complete text.*
2. The Central Committee of the KPOe has established the following schedule of
action to follow upon the announcement of the fifth wage price agreement:
a. Two or three days after the agreement has been announced., the KPOe will
call an all.--Austrian trade union conference, probably in St. Poelten.
At this meeting the Communists will voice a protest, denounce the Socialist
union leaders as traitors to their class, and demand a general strip.
b. Six days after the announcement of the agreement the 'arty will issue the
order for a general strike a
3. The USIA firms will definitely agree to pay wages while the workers are on
strike.,
