CANDHI APPROVES
COMPROMISE PLAN
DRAWN BY HINDUS
EngIand's Approval Hoped For
Soon in Order to End
Mahatma's Fast

Poona, India, Sept. 24.-(Pl-Lead-
ers of the caste Hindus and the un-
touchables. who have been striving
for three days to draft compromise
plan on the electoral question which
would halt the death fast OF Mallat-
ma Gandhi, reached an agreement
Saturday.
The agreement followed several
anxious hours in the earlier part of
the day when new rift among the
negotiators arose at the same time
Gandhi's physician pronounced his
condition to be growing grave.
The plan was to cable the agree
ment to Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald at London Immediately in
the hope it might be accepted by the
British government in time to per-
suade Gandhi to end his fast Satur-
day.
Gandhi's condition grew weaker
and his voice fainter as the day pro-
crossed. He suffered recurrent at
tacks of exhaustion which prevented
him from drinking water. his only
Sustenance during his fast.
Mrs. Gandhi was in constant at
tendance. A physician, summoned
hastily from Bombay Saturday morn
ing, examined the Mahatma in the
presence of the prison physician.
Later he said the time had arrived
when Gandhi should not be subjected
to any further strain in connection
with the political discussions.
Nevertheless Gandhi formally ap-
proved the agreement reached by the
political leaders, removing the last
obstacle to its submission to the gov
eminent at London.
The Mahatma was lying PROSTATE
on his cot when the terms of the
agreement were communicated ia
him. He raised himself on his elbows
and with a weak smile signified his
assent.
In cabling Macdonald the leaders
are asking him to withdraw that part
of the communal award affecting the
Hindus so that Gandhi may break
his fast.

Troubles

Chicago, Sept. "a. - (AP) - Milk
strikes in some of Americas prin-
cipal centers, and the threat of such
a movement in the nations metrop-
oils, Saturday gave a more serious
aspect to the agricultural war for
higher prices which started in Iowa
more than a month ago.
Producers throughout large Sec
ton Of the country awaited with in
terest development in New York,
where stoppage of the flow of milk
from upstate to New York CITY. es-
timated at nearly 1000 900 quarts
a day, was threatened.
The emergency committee of the
New York milk shed said it had been
informed producers in New York
had decided to strike unless price
cutting is stopped by independent
wholesalers and the price of milk is
stabilized at Giving minimum"
The stabilizing plan would give
the farmers five cents quart and a
wholesale price of eight cents a
quart.
I'VE are trying to do everything
we can to prevent a strike" said
George N. Allen. secretary of the
committee, "but the farmers are des-
perate."
Conferences Are Held
Conferences between Allen and
delegations of farmers, and nexotia-
tions with independent dealers, were
being held in an attempt to avert tine
strike.
Meanwhile milk strikes, already in
effect, continued among producers
of Ohio, Michigan, Georgia and Ne
braska. At Toledo, Ohio, a dairy
company obtained an injunction
against picketing, public demonstra-
tons and utterances by the farmers
representatives
The protesting producers, however,
kept on picketing stores, without the
use of forbidden placards. Approx
mately 5000 dairymen ship from the
Toledo area, which embraces part of
Michigan.
Producers at Atlanta, Ca, con-
tinued to observe a non-selling edict
of their leaders, while in Omaha Of
ficials of the Nebraska Iowa Milk
Producers association worked on
plans to make their two-week-old
strike effective. By Monday they
hope to put 1000 men "in the field"
to ask customers not to patronize
two dairies that refused to recognize
a price increase decision.
Middlewest Is Quiet
Quiet reigned throughout the mid
dlewest in the strike against selling
non-perishable produce, such as live
stock and grain. Milo Reno. presi-
dent Of the Farmers National Holt
day association, and John Chalmers,
president of the Iowa unit of the
organization, said at Des Moines the
campaign had not gone on long
enough to determine accurately the
results.
Picketing was frowned on by strike
leaders when they issued their call
for the non-selling movement against
grain and livestock, but the Holiday
associations in three counties in the
Montevideo, Mimi, area, decided to
put pickets in the field. Picketing
also was resorted to in other Sec
tions of Minnesota.
Reports from Maysville and Hen
nessey. Okla, said trucks had been
halted by striking farmers, but that
no violence had been noted.

Grains were firm today on the
Board of Trade.
At midsession wheat was to
% of a cent up. corn "a to 70 OF
a cent higher, oats 1s to 2s of a
cent up. and rye u to IS OF a

Higher temperatures in the
Northwest attracted a great deal

trade, but did not prove much OF
a factor in the market.
Gables were 3s to 7s of a pence
higher on refusal of North Amerl-
can markets to be Stampeded into
a drastic decline by the severe
reaction in English quotations

Coarse grains were quiet. The
firmer tone was due to action in
wheat. Smaller pits are almost
devoid of pressure and any firm
ness in the leading grain has
prompt effect.
Estimated carlot receipts were:
Wheat, 81; corn and oats, 40.
