NN.S.).-Declaring that the
farmer has been "slapped in

welt, Milo Reno, head of the
Middlewestern farm strike,
summoned his followers today
to renew the strike with all
the power" they possess.
The new strike call, which
followed fresh outbreaks of strike
violence, was issued in q formal
statement.
Support Asked
The statement also called on
the country as a whole to support
the strike. It definitely ended q
strike truce, theoretically in eff
feet until President Roosevelt had
an opportunity to pass on strik-
erS' demands for agricultural
relief.
These demands the President
definitely turned down Saturday.
The statement also formally
renewed strikers demands that
M1dwestern governors declare en-
bargoes against shipments Of
farm products to market until
prices improve. Reno said:
Gas q consequence Of the be-
trayaI Of the farmers by both
President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Wallace, farmers have but
one course left to pursue, that
Is, to strike with all the power
that they possess. It will, per-
haps, be q long, bitter struggle
