Two Victories Boosted
By Farm Strikers
Jail Barricaded

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. UN.S0-A
stiffening Of resistance by civil
authorities toward the farm strike
was noted today as the agricul-
tural revolt gave signs Of spread
ing.
A clash between Sheriffs' depu-
ties and farm picketS near Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, gave the strike
a bloody tinge. It failed to
tdampen the enthusiasm of thou
sands of farmers, who picketed
roads through Iowa and Nebra-
ska, halting the movement Of eggs,
poultry, milk, butter and cream
into city markets.
Civil authorities in both States
announced they would use force
to keep the roads clear and end
the picketing.
Boasts Of Victory
A strike call, meanwhile, was
sent out to farmers in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas s,
North and South Dakota, Indiana
and Illinois.
In South Dakota, State Secre-
tary Of Agriculture L. G. Troth
indorsed the strike and urged
the farmers of his State to join
it. In Wisconsin, a Statewide
meeting Of dairy farmers was
called for September 3 to deter
mine whether the holiday"
should be enforced in that State.
Another meeting was called in
Indiana for a like purpose.
The farm strikers boaSted Of
two victories in the last "a hours.
AS a result of the Nebraska
strike, milk prices to farmers
were increased in Omaha and
Lincoln. At Omaha the Iowa.
Nebraska Cooperative Milk Asso-
citation agreed to pay So a hun
dredweight, instead Of $1.45.
Consumers to Pay
At Lincoln the dealers raised
the price from $1.40 to $1.80 a
hundredweight. The increases will
be passed on to the consumers.
At Sioux City the strikers al
most won another victory. The
dealers were reported ready to
increase prices, but a conference
with farm leaders failed to pro
duce an agreement.

DEMOCRATS
Majority Of 1928 Hoover
Voters in These States to
Support Roosevelt
By COLE e. MORGAN

Governor Roosevelt in II
States has the support of more
1928 Hoover voters than the
President has, according to
returns thus far tabulated in
the nationwide presidential
poll of The Washington Times
and other Hearst papers.
In several other States the
Democratic nominee is breaking
nearly even with his opponent
among the Republican voters of
four years ago.
Draws 40 Per Cent
Taking the country as a whole,
Roosevelt is drawing 40 per cent
of Hoover's former hackers. The
II States where Roosevelt is the
choice of the majority of 1928
Republicans are Wisconsin,
North Dakota, Nevada, Califor'
MIA, oregon, Washington, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas.
Others where he is making
dangerously uncomfortable in
roads into the Republican ranks
are Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho, Utah,
Oklahoma, and practically every
State in the Southeast.
Analysed by Sections
The 1928 Republican vote,
analyzed sectionally, shows the
following percentages supporting
Hoover this year:
New England, IT.; Eastern Sea-
board, &c; Lakes, 81; Middle
West, 81; Mountains, SO; Pacific
Coast, 40; South Central, St;
Southeast, At; Southwest, 46.
This shows Roosevelt drawing
better than 40 per cent of the
1928 Hoover strength in all areas
west of the Mississippi and south
of the Ohio and Potomac, and
so per cent or better on the
Pacific Coast and throughout the
South.

FEE-SPL|TT|NG
EYED BY STATE

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. 0.N.SJ
The grievance committee of the
State Board of Medical Exam
liners planned to call an executive
session today to consider charges
Of fee splitting against the ma
yor's brother, DR.. William H.
Walker, and four other doctors.
At an open hearing charges OF
the city affairs committee against
the physicians were given pre-
liminary airing.
Although the decision to con-
slider the charges, which may lead
to revocation of the doctors IL
censes if unethical conduct or
fraud is proved against them,
was victory for the committee.
DR.. Walker and the others won
a point also.
The committee decided fee
splitting in itself was not prima
facie evidence of fraud.
