Farm Movement Gains More Recruits
in Minnesota.
BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, November 2.-The course
of the farmers long drawn-out strike
for higher prices today was marked by
additional recruits in Minnesota, and
outbreaks of violence in Wisconsin.
While governors of five Midwest
States took the farm strike problem to
President Roosevelt at Washington, the
Minnesoa Farmers Holiday Association
announced that starting today its mem
bers would attempt to ''tie everything
up tight so far as farm products were
concerned.
Violence was reported in several Sec
tious of Wisconsin.
A bomb today demolished the cheese
factory of Ell Bley, near Port Wash
ington, Wis. Fire, which followed the
blast, completed destruction Of the
factory
Sheriff Peter J. Jung said there was
no doubt the blast was set of by strike
pickets 1t was the fourth bombing of
a cheese factory since the beginning Of
the strike, but the first plant completely
demolished. Bley's factory had been
closed but he contemplated reSuming
operations today and had notified his
patrons to start delivering milk.
Strikers also made another raid on
the plant Of the Sunshine Dairy at
Waterford, south of here, where milk
was spilled from two interurban cars
last night. The assault was made by
about so pickets who overpowered four
deputies and destroyed about half a
carload of milk for shipment to Mil
waukee Pickets dumped 1900 pounds
of milk at Waterford last night.
The strike in Wisconsin also was
marked by the reputation by three
county holiday association units of the
leadership of their State president,
Arnold Gilberts, who recently ordered
the anti-selling movement to be tenn
porarily suspended. Leaders OF Wood,
Marathon and Clark Counties said they
wished to continue the strike, despite
Gilberts'. order
The Minnesota unit decided to with
hold produce and livestock from mar
kets until prices reach the cost OF pro-
duction level. Meanwhile. the group
recommended its members pay no taxes
and no interest and prohibit '-forcible
collection of debts"
Milo Reno president Of the National
Farmers Holiday Association, said at
Des Moines that the farm strike was
in inactive suspension pending the
Governors conference with President
Roosevelt.
