Gov. Floyd B. Olson declared
today he will fight the validity
Of the summons commanding
him to appear in Federal Court
tomorrow to show why he should
not call off martial law in the
Minneapolis truck drivers strike.
Not only that-the governor

said he plans to be in RocheS-

Roosevelt and he will be rep
resented in court by Attorney
General Harry H. Peterson.
Employers Are Suing
Governor Olson and the en-
pIoyers Of Minneapolis have
locked horns over the issue Of
martial law. The employers want
military rule ended. The COVER
nor says no. That has become
the outstanding issue in the Bit
terly-fought truck drivers strike,
now in its twenty-second day.
The employers, asserting that
Governor Olson's military rule is
"Stifling business" and causing
them heavy losses, went into
United States District Court seek.
ing an injunction restraining the
governor from continuing martial
law. The business men insist
their constitutional rights are
being violated.
Under regulations ordered by
Governor Olson as commander in

and commodities for hospitals, are
permitted to move.

Although the governor had
warned strike leaders he would not
