AFL Heads
Silent on
M'pls Strike
Keep Negotiations With
NRA Secret as Deadline
for Drivers Nears
Especial TO The paiIy worker

MINNEAPOLIS, July IL. The
question Of whether the truck driv-
ers will strike is still hanging in
the air in spite of the fact that
only five hours are left until the
meeting, where strike vote will
be taken. Ever since TIL last pa
rada and mass meeting Of the driv-
ers and all the labor movement in
the city, the leadership of Drivers
Local 81, has been in conference
with the Regional Labor Board, the
national arbitrator and Governor
Olson. Up to now there was not as
yet issued clear statement by the
union leadership as to the progress
of negotiations.
The sentiment for general strike
is soaring employers to the extent
where the local press, controlled by
them, the Tribune, Star, Journal,
and the fascist scandal sheet, the
Saturday Press, are full of agitation
and threats against the general
strike.
The press already demands OF
Governor Olson the promise OF
using armed force against the strik-
ers. The press also appeals to the
workers in a lying, demagogic man
ner, stating: "A general strike is
self-destructive 1t defeats its own
purpose. In a general strike the
strikers strike against themselves,
and such strike imposes more
and greater hardships on the work
ing class than it does on any Other
class"
The local press has also RAISED
the red scare in an attempt to spill
the workers and confuse the driv'
ers with the idea that they gel

Hitler to Tell

OF Butcheries
Hitler Youth Refuse To
Give Fascist
Salute

BERLIN, July 11.-Wide discon-
tent and revulsion over the whole
tent and repulsion over the whole
sale slaughters of his own duped
followers continue to sweep through
former Nazi forces, as Chancellor
Hitler prepares on Friday to appear
before a rump session of the Reich
stag, in an attempt to justify mis-
butcheries.
In Munich members Of the Hitler
Youth Organization are refusing 70
give the Nazi salute to their Of
ficials. Herr Klein, Hitler Youth
leader, in upper Bavaria, was forced
to issue an order commanding the
members Of the Hitler Youth &c
demonstrate in public the excellent
relations between their organi5a-
ton and the Storm Troops and the
Special Guard"
In an interview today with a cor
respondent of the Italian Fascist
paper of Turin, the "Gazetta de-
Popolo," Hitler declared that the
slaughter of his henchmen was
necessary in order to stave off civil
war. He declared that his forth
cominb Reichstag speech would be
a final balance of accounts.
Economic Situation Worsens
AS the economic catastrophe In
Germany grows worse and the food
shortage more severe, conflicts are
taking place in Hitler's Ministry OF
Economics. Phillip Kessler was re-
moved from office today by Kurt
Schmitt, Nazi Minister Of Eco

HAVANA, July 11.-Over
$4,000 workers at midnight
answered the general strike
call of the Cuban National
Confederation of Labor de-
manding the release of 1875
political prisoners, many of
whom are seriously i'll in the Men
dieta fortresses.
Severe fighting took place in
various sections of Havana when
police clashed with strikers. Four
street cars manned by scabs were
badly damaged by fire. Newspaper
reporters, linotype operators on four
newspapers, joined the strike along
with workers on number of bus
lines and taxicabs. Many factor
les were shut down by the strike.
One scab street car conductor,
Quintero Gutierrez, was killed to-
day when he threatened strikers
with a revolver.
The political prisoners went on q
hunger strike over one week ago in
protest against their treatment and
food. The Mendieta government,
which had arrested a score of A.B.C.
officers, was treating the Pro-
Machado prisoners sumptuously
while starving and torturing the
revolutionary political prisoners.
NEW YORK.-With orders to
s'shoot to kill on sight," Havana po-
lice are searching for Joaquin Or
doqui, secretary of the Cuban Ma
tional Confederation of Labor. At
the same time, 126 revolutionary
political prisoners are being held in
a fortress and are in a desperate
physical plight, many of them near
death. Ninety-five have been on
a hunger strike.
The Trade Union Unity League
and the International Labor De-
Tense have joined in issuing an
appeal to American workers for
immediate funds to supply med
ical attention to these imprisoned
comrades who have been badly
maItreated. All funds should be
sent to the Daily Worker for
transmission to Cuba to aid our
imprisoned Cuban comrades.

Zausner Plans AAA, Drought
Sell Out With Cut Crops Near
Boss Painters Is Year Low
Means Huge Profits To
Big Landlords,
Spectators

WASHINGTON, July 11-Due to
Rcoseyelt's drastic destruction Of
acreage and crops, as well as the
effects Of the drought, one of the
smallest grain crops in 25 years APP
pears to be facing the country.
This will mean huge profits for
those who already have grain or
can buy it, such as rich farmers or
grain Spectators.
This will mean higher prices for
bread for consumers.
Roosevelt's A.A.A. program has
destroyed at least Is per cent of
the wheat crop and higher proper
lions of the corn and cotton crops.
With the drought, the present
crop is estimated at being SO per
cent Of normal. 1t is only the i'm
mense carry-over from previous
years that prevents the situation
from becoming grave. This carry
over, which has been hanging over
the market, and is in the hands OF
wealthy spectators and grain COM
panies now becomes very profitable.
