 Highest In State
Motor. Club Figures Show Local Motorists Pay an
 Average of $66 for Public Liability

New Haven, July 19-A price spread of $2S.60 in automobile in- surance rates charges in seven Connecticut cities is shown in the results of a survey of insurance rates charged in 20 representative cities in the east, midwest and south by R. Edwin Steele, secre- .tary-manager of the Connecticut Motor Club.
 of the seven Connecticut cities. Mir Steele found, motorists in Wa terbury pay the highest premium for public liability insurance. while those in Stamford pay the lowest. Ranged between these cities are New Haven. Bridgeport, Hartford, Meriden and Danbury in the order named.
 In the list of 20 cities. Albany. N. r., pays the highest premium for public liability insurance. sand Altoona, Pa., the lowest.
 The rates used for the study are those which would be charged in various communities for a 1890 light Buick, which MT. Steele took to represent the average car. The study was made with regard to public liability, property damage, fire and theft and $100 deductible collision insurance.
 It Is only a matter of public lia- bility insurance that the price range varies so greatly, Mr. Steele's report shows. The premium charg- ed for a so-ca11ed $10-$10,00O public liability policy in the seven Connection cities follows:
 Waterbury. $66; New Haven. $59.40; Bridgeport, $51.70; Hart ford. S46.20;- Meriden, $44; Dam bury, $37.40; and Stamford. $37.4O. The range between the premium charged in the latter two cities and waterbury is $2S.60.

Roosevelt Amnesty"
Is Cheap Gesture and

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - AS a
cheap Christmas gesture, In view of
increased war preparations, President
Roosevelt today restored citizenship
rights to 1900 per sons who were
prosecuted during the last World War
for their anti-war activities.
Many of these were workers who
spent many years in prison for their
anti-war activities. None Of them
are in jail at the present time, and
the restoration of their so-called cit
izenstip rights is a fornality that
costs Roosevelt or the capitalists
nothing, but gives the papers oppor-

HAVANA, Dec. 25.-Final DISPOSE
ton on the release of 404 Maehado
army officers who took part in the
counter-ravolut:on uprising at the
National Hotel is now in the hands
of Colonel Fulgancio Batista, head of
tho Cuban army.
The officers who are now in Prin-
cipe and Cubana fcrtresses were or
dered released by the Audencia
Court. acting on Instructions from
the Grau-Guiteras regime.
Colonel Batista. who is an inpor-
tant factor in the Grau-G -Guiteras
government, is delaying the release of
the officers mainly because Of ar
rangements to utilize them in the
present army without at the same
time displacing the many sergeants
from their present higher army posts
Colonel Batista himself, before the
Grau government TOOK power, was
an army sergeant.
The release OF the counter -revolu-
tionary officers was arranged through
the mediation Of Ambassador Welles
before his withdrawal, and later
taken up with Ambassador Caffery
This is step towards reconcilia-

Not only were these 40l officers
guilty of taking up arms in order to

calsWithdrawWhen
General Strike Is
Dubbed illegal"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 25-At
the joint council meeting here Sun
day Of various truckers unions, rep
regentatives Of around 10000 work.
ers voted to continue on strike.
Previously around 10000 were on
strike. but under pressure OF the A.
r. of L. leaders, particularly of Dan
iei j. Tobin, president OF the Inter
national Brotherhood Of Teauisters,
Chauffeurs Stablemen, and Helpers,
the city teamsters, dry cleaners and
dyers drivers. and piano movers voted
to return to work with the bakery
and express wagon drivers.
The strike began on Thursday as
o sympathy strike of all truckers in
support of the taxi drivers employed
by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
CO. The NR.A. had ordered the
strike of the taxi drivers broken,
promising the workers that they
would be re-employed without dis
elimination, having the right to vote
for their own representatives. The
P.RT. declared the workers must re-
turn unconditionally.
From the very beginning all the
bosse5' forces moved to break the
strike. The NRA. officials declared
the strike illegal" This was fol-
lowed by a declaration of Tobin, IN
which he said that the strike was
not approved by the union, and urged
the workers to return Immediately.
These still remaining on strike are
the taxicab drivers, milk drivers,
laundry unions, and the locals of the
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauf-
ferrs. StabIamen and Helpers, afflli-
ated to the union of which Tobin is
president.
The local A. r. of 4 leaders, par
ticularly Thomas p. C'Brian,, organ
izer for the Brotherhood, tried to
break the ranks CT the workers BY
talking and fighting against d gen
erel transportation strike.
Even the officials voting to remain
on strike declared that the strike now
is not general transportation
strike, but that there are several
local unions involved in strikes and
lock-outs at the present time"
In short, everything Is being done
to help the bosses smash the united
front of the workers by the A. F

Trade Shows Sharp
DroD Under Hitler
Regime, Is Report t
Reteil Sales Also Drop
AS Wages Are
Slashed

BERLIN, Dec. 25.-Unable to con-
ceal the growing economic crisis in
Germany. the latest report of the
Berlin Chamber Of Commerce, dis
cussing the economic situation under
Hitler, reports further sharp declines.
Retail buying, an index to the con-
suming power Of the masses and their
standards Of living, shows d,op of
s per cent This shows glowing miSery
ard hunger. This figure reveals the
emptiness of the NaZi boast that more
than 100000 of German workers have
been returned to work.
More accurate figures on employ
ment show that about 10000 workers
have been placed on various seasonal
emergency jobs, but at starvation
wage.
Foreign Trade Drops
Despite all attempts of the German
bourgeoisie to dump" goods in for
eign markets by paying starvation
wages to the workers at home, Ger
man foreign trade continues to shrink
very severely. The growth of the crisis
in Germany and the failure of Hitler
to restore any kind Of business i'm
provement is clearly shown in the
figules for foreign trade, which are
now running at monthly average of
SIS, 100000 marks compared to 90 ,ooo,-
900 last year.
These figures are particularly re-
vealing Of the failure OF Hitler's
boasted plan Of increasing German
foreign trade by government scrip
money financing of German EXPORT
ers. The extreme seriousness of the
failure of the Hitler government to ef-
feet the slightst Improvement in the
foreign trade situation causes the
Chamber OF Commerce to state that
the whole future Of Germany depends
upon some Improvement here.
Trade with the Soviet Union has
shrunk by more than SO per cent
within the last year.
The Hitler government has discov-
cred that under the guise OF establish
ing foreign branches many German
businesses are attempting to leave the
country altogether. SO drastic is the
growth Of the crisis.
