Issues Call for a General Strike on May First Big Factories Flooded with Leaflets, United Press Reports NEW YORK, April 15—The Com- munist Party of Austria has issued a call for a general strike against the Dollfuss government, to take place on May 1, the international day of working-class solidarity, it is reported by the United Press’ correspondent in Vienna. Thousands of leaflets written and distributed by the Communis‘ Party of Austria are appearing in all the big factories, the United Press re- ports. The correspondent of the United Press also reports that the Com- munist call for a general strike against Dollfuss has been answered by statements from the Socialists and Nazi groups indicating support! of the general strike call. If the United Press reports on Nazi action are correct, this does not mean that the Nazis are adopt- ing d working-class action. The Nazi groups in Austria agree with Dollfuss in his bloody suppression | of the working-class movement, but differ from him on the question of closer alliance with Hitler, which they demand, opposing Dollfuss’ ties with Italian fascism through’ Mussolini, workers and liberals.
