Order General Strike

d y I HttGU IItSS
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. ia
general strike order was issued to
midwest farmers today by the Ma
tional Farmers Holiday Associa-
ton. recommending that, effective
Wednesday, all nonperishable farm
produce be withheld from market
and that highway blockade be lifted
In an appeal directed to all agri-
cultural producers of the middle
west, the Holiday Association di-
rectors urged that farmers sell no
more grain and livestock until prices
reach the production cost level.
The association suggested that the
embargo on dairy products, poultry
and periShable produce be lifted for
thirty days to be reinstated at the
end of that time if the general strike
has not succeeded in its objective.
The suggestion was made that
picketing of highways be discon-
tinued except for maintenance of
observers, who would report on
violatorS of the strike order.
Indications were that pickets
would follow the suggestion of the
holiday association. The blockade
here was lifted.
Those signing the holiday asso-
citation resolution were President
Milo Reno, Des Moines, Ia; E. N.
Hammerquist, vice-president, Farm
ingdale, S. D., and John N. Bosch,
secretary treasurer, Atwater, MINI.

William N. Doak, secretary of la

THE speech was bald. fearless
and StateSmanlike utterance i.
that should appeal to every citizen,
who has made study of tarnsp-
ortation, whether he be an officer,
stakeholder, or an employee of the
railroads"
Other statements echoed these
sentiments. They came from Con-
gresham John Mac Dufie (Ala.) /;
Daniel j Tobin, chairman of the
labor division of the national COM
mittee. and from j. j. McEntee of
the International Association Of

Louisiana Plea for Watson
Custody Honored.

Louisiana extradition papers for
Hunter B. Watson, alleged bandit

city police.
While the hearing was being held

attorney T. Earnest Maholm in
fighting the extradition. He said
Watson should be tried first in In
diana for being an ex-convict and
carrying a gun. All parties pres
ent were agreed that Watson is an
ex-convict. Twice sentenced in

from two penitentiaries.
Given fourteen to thirty five

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Twelve
men we're selected in federal court
today to pass on lottery charges
against Senator James j. Davis
(Rep., Pa, who rose from Welsh
immigrant boy and day laborer to
the cabinets of three Presidents.
Davis is On trial charged with
violating federal statutes prohibit
ing material pertaining to lotteries
from the mails and interstate COM
merce.
Walter w. Vincent, operator of a
theater circuit in Pennsylvania, was
excused because he once had at
tended a banquet at which Davis
was POSTMASTER. Two alternates
were chosen to serve should any
juror become incapacitated.
Davis is a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the senate in November. His
lawyers, in pleading for an early,
trial, said he could not face his con-
stituents with indictments over his
head.
Meanwhile, in another courtroom
before Federal Judge T. Blake Ken
nedy of Wyoming, Conrad Mann,
Kansas City, and Frank E. Herring,
South Bend, Ind, both prominent
officers of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, pleaded not guilty to SUI
perseding indictments charging vio-
lation of the lottery laws.

Hourly Temperatures
GERMAN ARMAMENT
PLEA Is OPPOSED

the French reply to the Reich's
equality demand.
Britain considers the demand UNI
wise in view of Germanys economic
difficulties; untimely in view of
financial concessions recently grant
ed Germany; and holds that even if
disarmament convention is not
concluded by the world conference
at Geneva, Germany will not be en-
titled to abrogate the restrictions
placed on her by the Versailles
treaty, the statement said.
The statement declared that the
peace treaty did not mean that the
general limitation of ornaments
must be fulfilled precisely in the
same manner in which Germany's
ornaments are limited" Part v
of the treaty. Britain maintains,
can only cease to be binding by
agreement"
The government admitted that the
limitations imposed on Germany
were intended to be "the precursor
Of general limitations by others"
Large reductions made by Britain
were noted, as well as British COL
laboration toward further general
disarmament at Geneva, where due
allowance must be made for the
needs and feelings of all sixty-four
states concerned"
The blunt attitude of the govern
ment was attributed to a new devel-
opment since the French answered
the German demand, namely the
official announcement that Germany
would not participate in the Tues
day meeting of the bureau of the
disarmament conference.

15-CENT STATE
LEVY UPHELD
Tax Provision Supported by
Attorney-G General Ogden.

The 15-cent state tax levy included
in the $3.50 tax limitation law
passed by the special session of the
general assembly, was upheld today
by Attorney General James M. Og-
den.
THE legislature passed the law
and when members wrote the provi-
sions to limit the state levy to Is
cents, they evidently meant just
that" Ogden said
Request for Ogden's opinion was
made by the state tax board when
it became apparent that fixed
charges, such as common school lev
les and memorial funds, would re-
quire 81 cents of the state levy. APP
p1oximately Is cents of the levy is
necessary for the teachers retire
ment fund, it also was pointed out.
After handling these charges, less
than cents would remain to meet
the required budget of $20,O0O,0O0,
the board stated.
Under a reduced valuation of ST.
000,000,000 in the state, the min
imum levy should be not less than
II cents, the tax board declared.
OgdenS ruling is interpreted by
state officials as indicating that adj
ditional funds for operation of
state government will not be avail
able until action is taken at 1888
session of the legislature.
