Martial law was declared in Ne

ards. When l am sure that this end
has been accomplished the troops

fear at Yesterdays hearing.
Situation Tense.
The fact that the strike was called

the injunction proceeding. Judge
Munger declared in handing down
his opinion.
"The purpose OF the restraining
order was not for or against the
strike. but 10 aid in keeping the pub.

Anson II. Bigelow, attorney for

other than continuance Of the re-
s:raining order in effect until yes.cr-
day, during his argument to the court
;'rior to announcement OF the judges
decision.
STRIKERS admit they've lost and
arc humbled to the ground" he said.
"Why hold a club over their heads,
Why cnjoin picketing when there
isn't any picketing?"
The need to maintain order within
the plants and to prevent trouble be-
tween strikers who are returning to
work and strikebreakers, is new

"Let the packers police their own

Back OF this certainty is the fac,
that 81 100000 worth of potatoes was
raised last year OH the table land

About a quarter OF this crop IS still
unshipped. Prices for the table va
rictics are low. about 90 cents a

as Red Triunphs are being sold as
high as sl.40 a bushel. These are
much priced by southern planters,
