Gains as Wisconsin Milk
Men Vote to Join

& DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 81
~G.NS0 IS n i m e t for and
against the national farm strike
increased sharply today in the
rural Midwest, cradle of the
: militant movement, as added sup
port came from some quarters and
stiff opposition developed in
Others.
The Farmers Holiday Associa-
ton, which boasted a membership
Of at least 100000 when it in.
~ augurated the strike last Satur-
day, continued it's campaign for
support Of the movement but its
most spectacular activity. highway
picketing, was largely diScon-
-tinued for the time being.
: Milk Pool Joins Strike
:; Additional strike support CEN
tered for the most part in Wis
consin. The Wisconsin co-opera-
tive milk pool voted to join the
strike, effective next Tuesday. On
that day it will attempt to halt
an milk shipments to Milwaukee
land Chicago.
The cooperative's executive COM
lnittee advised the governor of
Its decision and asked a State
aembargo on farm shipments to
avoid any violence likely to occur.
The Milwaukee Cooperative Milk
Producers Association, on the
other hand, voted opposition to
the strike
Sheriff Joseph Simmer, of Mil
'walkee, said he was preparing
TO meet possible "trouble." He
will assign "as many deputies
as necessary" to keep open the
highways into the city. He
warned strikers that no attempt
must be made to prevent nom
strikers from trucking their milk
into the city.
Milk Dumped In Road
Wisconsin strikers continued to
patrol the highways, intercepting
milk shipments destined for mar
ket. Several more truck loads
were dumped on highways when
drivers refused to return home
with them. Several additional
cheese factories were forced to
suspend operations as the strike
spread to outlying regions.
The strike also gained some
added support in Iowa, where sew
eral more produce stations de-
cided to close in sympathy with
the movement, but it was also in
Iowa that new, powerful opposi'
tion developed, from farmers
themselves.
In the vicinity of Council Bluffs
500 or more farmers formed an
antistrike organization to afford
safe convoy to trucks en- route to
market with farm products. AS a
result, strike picketS disappeared
from the highways in that vi
einity.
Similar organizations were said
to be forming in other counties
along the Missouri River.
Conference Is Awaited
Pickets also were withdrawn
from highways around Sioux
City. This was at the order Of
Farmers Holiday Association of.
ficials, who said picketing would
be discontinued until the recon-
mendations of a governors con-
ference, to meet in Des Moines
next Monday, are known.
Should the conference fail to
recommend Federal action in line
with demands of the strikers,
picketing will be renewed over an
extended area, leaders said. and
the strike campaign will be waged
even more aggressively than at
present.
