N. M. Rocker, “Wiener Morgenpost” Editor. Here

The Hakenkreuzler, the anti-Semitic organization which threatened the safety of the delegates to the Zionist Congress in Vienna last year and was responsible for many anti-Jewish riots, is practically dead. declared N. M. Rocker, editor of the “Wiener Morgenpost,” the first Yiddish daily in Austria, on his arrival in the United States yesterday.

The Austrian Hakenkreuzler received their support mainly from Germany and Hungary. Now when the Hungarian anti-Semites have suffered defeat because of the discovery of the counterfeiting plot, the Austrian anti-Semites have lost their source of support and their activities have stopped. Mr. Rocker declared.

In general the political situation of the Jewish community in Austria is very favorable, he stated. Mr. Rocker will visit his uncle, Mr. S. Rocker. editor of the Cleveland “Jewish World.”
