MINE EXAMINER SHOT DEAD AND
 STRIKE GROWS
Twenty Men Have Been Expelled From the Min- ers' Union to Add to TerrOrS in the Fields

Zeigler, III, Aug 27.-UP)- Franklin county coal fields were terrified today as result of the shooting of mine examiner, ex- pulsion of 20 miners from the union, and reports that n new army of strikers was being organized to picket local pits. Frank Moulin, examiner for the No. 2 Zeigler mine, was shot last night while standing in his front yard. Two men fired at him from an automo- bile. Physicians said he would re- cover. Authorities were not cer- tain that the shooting was connect ed with the labor troubles which have kept the coal regions In an uproar for days. but believed that 1t was.
 The incident added to the excite ment aroused earlier In the day when the 20 local men were put out of the union for leading re- volt last week. Also, there was the constant fear that miners from northern counties would form n new protest march and possibly bring about another battle such as that In which several persons were wounded early this week at near by Mulkytown. Reports from Ben- ton, Taylorville, and Gillespie were that the new march was being planned secretly. The plan, 1t was said, was to bring only small group this time. one that would be less unwieldly than the army or 18,50O men who were repulsed by deputy sherIffs at Muddy River.

 Des Moines, Ia. Aug 27--tUP)--- Four weeks ago the Farmers Hoii- day association. in meeting herc. issued the call for general strike or holding movement on the part of all farmers--and to- day the call vas applied for the first time to the capital city.
 At dawn. highways leading into Des Moines were picketed to pre- vent shipment of milk and other farm products to local distributing depots.
 County authorities. warned m advance, were set to employ any extra help necessary to prevent re- currencc of the dramatic events which featured the strikers activ.- ties about Council Bluffs and Omaha.
 During the four weeks since the "call to arms" was issued. the principal cities of Iowa have been almost completely cut off from truck shipments of farm products. New and higher milk prices to the farmer have been agreed upon in some instances. Hog deliveries to market have been curthiled, but with little change in market val ues. The ultimate gain to tho farmers for their efforts remains problematicai.
 It was in Des Moines, also. that the idea of the agrarian strike was born five years ago. The basic reason for such a course was iaid down then--and the basis for the present extraordinary economic phenomenon remains the same to- day.
