On every street people are calling for and about the thousand crown notes.
Neue Freie Presse on June 6, 1922
The “Frankfurter Zeitung” is written from New York: New York is now full of Austrian thousand-krone notes. In the busy streets, criers with strong lungs stand and shout: “Never again such an opportunity. A thousand-krone note for a quarter” (equal to 25 cents. Note d, Red.) “Only a few can resist these temptations and you can see the salespeople doing a bomb sale, especially in the midday hours when the little typists, young merchants and craftsmen are let loose for lunch. However, the sellers don’t dare to go to Wall Street, because there they would be laughed at because you can buy a thousand crowns for ten cents there.
Police drag MPs out of the meeting room
Violence is happening in Hungary.
Neue Freie Presse on June 5, 1912
The police forcibly removed thirty-eight members of the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies from the courtroom. Some have been dragged out, others have yielded to the force upon feeling the fists on their arm. Police commissioner Pawlik came with 120 men, ordered the opposition benches to be surrounded, and took out a paper from his pocket on which the names of the deputies were listed who, by order of the President, were no longer allowed to take part in the negotiations.
