 A tentative agreement reached Thursday night and which was ac- cepted by the Elore than 1000 drivers involved in the wa1kout, ing us little, if any better condi- tions than we had prior to the strike" said John J. Murphy, busl- ness agent of the Hartford Union local.
 Joseph M. Adley, representing Hartford and Springfield operators, and spokesman for the Motor Truck association. said the asso- ciation's New York and Boston terminals would be closed flor the moment"
 "This means that shippers will have to resort to railroads to have their goods reach New York or Boston. or use small independent truckers" M Murphy addressed meeting of drivers which lasted until early this morning. He said the union had agreed to drop the closed shop clause and was offered only three cents an hour increase for lover | the road" drivers.
 We were not offered the better working conditions we asked for,' he said, adding that under no cir. cumstances could we accept such compromise"

 News of this warning came from the air ministry in q warn ing to aviators which said:
 "Oficial notification has been re- ceived that United Kingdom air draft have recently infringed reg ulations when flying over German territory, and pilots are warned that severe measures are likely to be taken in case of any further Infringement"
 Pilots were reminded that be- fore going abroad they should &C., quaint themselves with all flying regulations of the countries they purpose to visit.

 2t was believed Germany's sub marine construction would be at first a fleet of 12 250-ton craft, suitable for patrol and defense work in the Baltic sea.

 Loss of Exports
 Because the American treasury was buying silver at mounting prices, the value of the silver peso rose and because of its rise, Mexi- can leaders saw the prospect of loss of exports because Mexican goods would be too high In dol lars, loss of domestic trade because American goods could be sold more cheaply in Mexico than Mexican made goods, and loss of the tn- creasingly profitable tourist trade because Mexican hotel and enter tainmcnt prices would be too high for the visitors from the states.
 Further, 1t would be profitable to melt the silver peso, the stan dard of currency for sale on the world market, which would have undermined the currency system.
 Grave Situation =
 Hence the government was raced with a situation of urgent gravity when silver jumped again yester- day. The dollar began tumbling in the morning, to the lowest rate in three years--3.30 pesos instead of the usual 3.G0.
 Treasury officials at once con- ferred with American embassy of- ficials in the absence of United States Ambassador Josephus Dan iels. who is in the United States.
 A cabinet meeting was called last night. President Lazaro Car denas, who left Thursday night for tour of the Mexican states. was summoned hastily back.
 As the cabinet met Cardenas in- formed the United Press that he would act to maintain the peso at a level with the dollar that would prove most beneficial to the coun- try.

Germany's Warning

submarine question there. This was because 1t was felt q protest to Berlin would be futile.
 When Great Britain suggested naval talks, 1t indicated that 1t de- sired to talk navies on the Yer sailles treaty basis. Germany agreed to the talk, hence the gov ernment assumed Germany meant to keep within the treaty for the present.
 Warming To Pilots
 The German warning to aviators meant pilots who obtain authoriz- ation to fly over Germany must stay to prescribed air routes and In all ways observe strict regula- tons.
 It followed the French warning of yesterday to German airman that any planes which flew over the secret fortified area on the German French frontier would be reminded of their trespass by blank shots from anti-aircraft guns and, if they did not race for home soil would be forced down by special combat units. .l4f..
 Germany today denied that any planes had flown over the area mentioned except by accident.
 British Told Yesterday
 It was learned from German sources here that Germany's conn munication regarding submarines was made to the British govern ment in Berlin yesterday. It was believed that the communication was made through the British naval attache.
 Besides informing Britain of it's intention to construct submarines, 1t was understood Germany also announced its intention of building as replacements a number of de- stroyers in excess of the Versailles treaty tonnage.
 Despite British hints that the proposed British German naval talks might be cancelled as the re- suit of Germany's defiance. German quarters informed the United Press they were confident that negotia- tions would open on schedule, per- haps about Monday.
 It was added that Joachim von Ribbentrop, Adolf Hitler's armu- mcnts expert, probably would lead the German delegation.
 It was originally intended to send only two naval experts to London The intention to send Ribbcntrop arose after 1t became known that the British intended, in addition to experts. to include +. l.. Craigie, q counsellor in the foreign office.

Naueatuck, April 27.-That din you may have heard on Church street last night was not rumbling of thunder from q nearby lightning storm. nor was 1t democratic caucus in full swing.

Fertilizer Cause T
 Of Death Of Dogs
Poisoning Leads to Warning to Owners to COnnne
 Animals Pending Probe of Several Cases

A dog poisoning scare m the Tower Road section to-day led Warden Coleman o'Loughlin to urge dog. owners in that section to keep their animals tied up until he has completed an investigation. Warden osLoughlin, who has learned officially of two dogs deaths from poisoning and has heard unofIicially of several others dying, advises owners of dogs in the Tower Road district to keep the animals carefully tied up for a few days.
 Investigation thus far has led the warden to believe that fertI-. lizer being used on one or more lawns in that section is responsible for the deaths of the animals. Warden O'Loughlin said to-day he had been informed that an examin- ation of the stomach of a dog owned by Dr Henry McGrath or Tower Road had revealed that the, animal had died of poisoning from the fertilizer. A similar report Was made on the death of dog owned by Gordon Hutchinson.
 Warden O'Loughiin told The Democrat to-day that by 8 strict interpretation of the law the dogs have no right to trespass on pro- perty where the fertilizer is being used, but said he will confer with property owners in the Tower Road vicinity to ask them to use a different type of fertilizer on their lawns. Property owners. he said he felt sure. would cooperate with him so that dogs would not have to be confined more than a day or two.
 A check-up was being made this morning to ascertain how many dogs had ben victims of the poi am

 Unfair Freight Carried
 Naylor further alleged today that evidence of carrying of unfair freight" by company trucks during the strike had been disclosed. It is his claim that companies, talk ing advantage of the strikers an- nounced resolve of not interfering with shipments of fruit, vegetables or perishable goods, have been loading their trucks with regular freight, except to place q quantity of perishab goods in the back or the trucks so that the vehicles have ostensibly been carrying Il full cargo of perishables.
 New York Will Come.
 The New York union, Naylor said, is cooperating with the Con- necticut strikers and has warned operators that if any more in- stances of unfair cargoes are dis covered, they will refuse entirely to unload any freight shipped from Connecticut, Another claim of Naylor's was that, to escape strike restrictions. the companies have listed shipments this week as com ing from New Haven or Bridge port, where the drivers were not yet on strike, when in reality, he declared, the shipments were from other cities.
 Several Drivers Give In. Several drivers hailed on the road by pickets last night agreed to join the strike and returned their trucks to the warehouses, 1t was reported here today.
