 A church fight had been brew ing in the Cumberland congrega- tion for some time, and Berrie re- signed in April. He founded the Bethel Tabernacle. The new church had been going only few weeks when Berrie married 19- year-old junior college student who had been a Sunday school teacher in both his churches.

LEARNERS HAVE
 STARTED THEIR OWN PROTESTS
Inaugurate a Strike Like Regular Labor Forces, But There Are No Tickets Used

Des Moines, Aug 8-(UP)- Corn-beit farmers went on strike to-day, determined to adopt the militant measures of industrial la- bor In an effort to solve the woes of agriculture.
 The strike began at a. m., the hour when most farmers were be- ginning their milking. But there was no similarity to an industrial strike. There was no picketing; no demonstrations. The cows kept right on giving milk. The hens laid their quota of eggs. The fields sprouted new vegetation as they have for centuries.
 The effectiveness of the strike depended not upon stoppage of pro- duction but upon farmers with holding their goods from the mar ket.
 As climax to months of or ganization work the farmers were called upon by the Farmers Hol- iday Association of Iowa to sell no produce during the period of the strike-tentatively designated as 30 days.
 Farmers with dairy herds will be most severely effected by the strike. The milk or cream that has meant regular revenue must be thrown to the swine if not wasted altogether. Similarly the strike order implies eggs that can't be eaten, must be destroyed. The strike order that became ef- fective today concerned only the state of Iowa and only a fraction of the farmers in the state. Milo Reno, president of the Holiday As sociation, believed this fraction was large enough to produce the de- sired result. He also has done or- ganization work for similar move ments in surrounding midwestern
