Striking Longshore- ' men Start Trouble

On San Francisco ' Waterfront.

“A. P. By Guardian's special Wire) SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. — Na- tional guardsmen were ordered to the San Francisco waterfront late today after police and striking Mar- ltime workers had fought a bloody, double-headed battle in which 31 mere shot down, three fatally and another probably fatally injured, nci some 50 persons badly gassed and beaten.

Of the men who died, only H. Bperry, hit by police shots, was iden- tified.

More than 2,000 strikers, seeking to prevent the movement by non- union men of cargo from the long logged steamship piers owned by the state, twice fought several hundred policemen charged with protecting the operations. The blueccats won iboth engagements-at the cost of five hurt.

While streets still were echoing {with the sound of police shotgun, pistol and gas-bomb fire and blood was trickling along the curbs, acting Governor Frank F. Merriam ordered the guardsmen to “protect state pro- perty" in the waterfront district.

The battles brought to a. climax the coast-wide strike of lcngshore- men an dother marine workers which began May 9. More than 25,- 000 men are involved. The longshore- men are seeking mainly a change in the operation of "hiring halls," where men are employed and assigned. Nine other waterfront unions struck in sympathy,

Hundreds of National Guards- men marched upon the water- front tonight.

German Newspaper Story Branded As False By French Ambassador — Nazi Chieftains to Hold Congress.

(BY Louis P, Lochnvr. Assoclaibd Press Foreign Staff) (Copyright, 1934; By The Associated Press)

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

BERLIN, July 5—France, through her ambassador here. tonight form- ally and vigorously denied she was involved in the plot against Chan- cellor Hitler's government which was broken up by the week-end executions.

The denial was given out and it was stated a. formal protest will be made to the General Kurt von Schleicher story of having dealings with France.

The killing of Von Schleloher, who in 1932 was Chancellor for 58 days. was justified. the newspapers insisted, on the basis of "the hein- ous crime of entering into negoti- ations with France, thereby giving the idea to Paris that the Nazi system is not going to last."

French Ambassador Andre Fran- oois-Poncet branded the charge an “absurd fable" and protested strongly against the “great prora- inence" given to the story in Ger- man newspapers.

The Ambassador was said by French sources to have been prom- ised when he called at the Wilhelm- strasse yesterday that the German press would not be permitted to drag France intn the matter.

Hitler had accused some of the plotters of negotiating with a "for- eign power" and there was much speculation as to what country was 'mennt.

The German newspapers‘ story accused Von Schicicher, one of ‘those executed by Hitler's men, of having dealings with France wlhile he was Chancellor in 1932.

French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou was accused of revealing the Von Schleicher plot to the British at Geneva. May 30,

"Hitler's days are numbered." Barthou was represented as saying.

In addition to the French envoy, the British and American Ambassa- dors have called at the Foreign Office.

Meanwhile. it was revealed by officials of the Nazi party that Chancellor Hitler's private army of 2.000.000 storm troopers, among whose leaders the shots of firing squads fell thickest, is doomed.

These officials confirmed reports that after the July vacation the place of storm troopers in German lifc will be greatly changed, indi- cating less than 20 percent of the men will be retained.

Estimates heretofore have been that 80 percent of the troopers would be retired.

The protest from France was only one of a number of harrass-

vment which sought peaceful cont trol at the cost of so many lives.

The nation was apprehensive as reports were heard of disturbances and dissatisfaction in the provinces -particularly in Bavaria and Silcsiar- and of new anti-Jewish movemcnts.

The economic difficulties of Ger- man farmers is another source of possible difficult-y.

The final fntc of Vice Chancellor Franz Von Papon, Conservative non-Nazi friend of President Paul Von Hincienburg, remained to be determined.

He still held his office. But there was semi-official talk he would be demoted to lower rank in the cab- inet, and would take a leave of absence.

Von Papens office was dis- mantled, even the furniture being removed, and police last night searched his house again.

An all-Nazi staff will take over the work in the Vice Chancellery after alterations of the building, it was revealed. the new men replac- ing close aides of Von Papen who were shot to death in Hitiers "purge" last Saturday and Sunday.

BNNMITTEE REPURTS 0N llNEMPlilYEIi

Several Members of City Council Criticis- ed At Meeting Last Evening.

At a meeting of the unemployed held last evenilli; in the L. P. U. Hall, a resolution was adopted whereby it was agreed that in the event of a man being refused re- lief l\/ a clergyman that the mat. W be placed in the hands of the Unemployed Committee for ad- justment.

The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing the report of the conunitfee appointed some time ago to wait on the Government and the City Council. Mr. Daniel Ooughlin presided.

The first member of the com- mittee to report was Mr. Joseph Swallow who stated that the com- mittee had interviewed Premier MacMililan as to what he had in view as regards work for the un- employed. The Premier had replied that the highway would start in August, and that he had been pressing Premier Bennett for money to start this work at once, and also the work on the Marine Wharf. Mr. Swallow stated that the Mayor had intended to call a meeting at 5 o'clock, but a quorum had not met. It had been planned to issue relief at 11 o'clock, but none had been given. The same had been true at 2 o'clock. The membl; of the committee had done their duty. he said. The Council had wanted to put them off till tomorrow.

Mr. Wm. McFarlane reported that the committee bed visited the MEYO!‘ Who had told them that nothing definite had come from Ottawa. The Mayor had seen no reason Why the men should not receive relief. Councillors Blanch- ard, ‘Turner. Holman, Hennessey had been interviewed and favored the granting of relief. Everything had been fixed up, but relief had not been forthcoming. Councillor Rattray had stated that he was unfavorable to granting any fav- 01" tO- the lalboring men. The speaker believed that there were 001V two Councillors in favor of the working man, Councillors Tur- ner and VanIderstine.

Mr. Daniel Coughlin stated that the reason the committee had gone first t0 the Premier was to find out what he knew about the relief work. The Premier had said that the highway work would: be started in August. The speaker had asked what was the Premier's attitude toward direct relief. He had. said he had no attitude toward direct relief. as all was issued by the city. The Province Paid one-third of the relief. and the Dominion one- thirdi. The Government would pay its share if the city issued relief. The Government had had nothing to do with the setting of the wages Mid by the Wilken Paving Com- WHY.

The explanation made in the paper by Rutherford was all"bcsh". Mr. Coughlin said. Speaking to the Councillors he said that the lab- ourers appreciated the protection. given the merchants, but they also desired the protection afforded by the minimum wage. The matter all boiled down to the fact that thc wages had been set by the Warren Paving Co. The speaker hoped he was not talking to a body of men who would let any company come

in to ninlfheir business.

With reference to the interview with Councillor Rattray. Mr. Owshlm said: "If Rattray is in the habit of shutting the wind off Junior Councillors, he can't shut

mine off."
