Truck Strike Becomes Issue
In Minnesota Primary Race
RiOtmg Provides Sizzling Controversy

are endeavoring to make much capital
Of the fatal riots here and the Incl
dent at Austin. Mimi, several months
ago when striking employees of the
HORNED Packing Co. overwhelmed the
local officers, seized control Of the
plant and virtually forced the firm
to meet their demands.
The Governor was criticized then
for not using the State Militia. He
defended himself with the statement
that there would have been useless
loss of life should the Guardsmen
have attempted to drive the strikers
from the plant. Olson did not say
SO in connection with the Minneapolis
riots, but it was assumed that he
preferred to keep the soldiers out of
the picture for the came reason.
When the National Guard was
ordered mobilized it was made clear
that it merely was precautionary
measure to protect the city against
dangerous characters" alleged to
have been moving in from the outside
to take advantage of the opportunity
to stir up widespread trouble.
While the politicians seek to make
the most of the incident, some OBJ
servers insist that the strikers signed
the armistice with their objectiveS only
partly attained, mainly because Of the
investigation of the fatal beating of
two special deputies. These COM
mentators held that the truck drivers
hoped to at least lessen the emphasis
on prosecution by yielding to COM
promise and getting only recognition
of the union men instead of the closed
shop goal first established.

MARYLAND BIRTHS
SET Low RECORD
Records for Three Months
Reveal Yearly Rate of
16.1 Per 1000.
BY J. C. DEPONAI.

BALTIMORE, June 2-The Mary
land birth rate for the first quarter
Of 1934-both in Baltimore City and
in the counties-was the lowest in the
history of the State.
State Health Department records,
just completed for the first three
months of the year, show that the
State birth rate was at an average of
16.1 births year for every 900 pop
ulation. The city rate was 1862, the
county rate 16.
During the first quarter of last year
the city rate was 17.6, the county rate
17.2. Though the present city birth
rate is just under that for the entire
year last year, 1921, the usual sea-
sonal drop would put it well under
that of 1888 by the end Of the year.
st. Marys Record Highest.
The highest birth rate for the quar-
ter of any county in the State went
to st. Marys with an average of 283
births for every 1000 population a
year. Second was Frederick with 81.
Baltimore County had the lowest rate
for the quarter, 81.
During the same period, the State
Health Department records show, the
State death rate was 1877 per 1000
population per year. The city rate
was 14.9, the county rate 12.5. Com
parison with the records for the first
quarter of last year shows that the
State rate for the quarter was the
same, that the city rate increased
slightly. and the county rate showed
a small decrease.
tuberculosis Campaign Begun.
Other records of the department
showed SGT new cases of tuberculosis
during the quarter and 344 deaths
from tuberculosis. DR.. Robert H. Ri
ley, State health officer, and other
public health men recently inaugu-
rated a new campaign against tuber-
culosis which, they believe, will re-
duce this rate materially.
From now on, every reported case
of tuberculosis will be treated as q
problem to be solved until the source
of infection has been definitely ascer-
tanned. Now that every county in
Maryland has full-time health OFF,
Ger, DR.. Riley believes that an effort
to rid the State of sources of tuber-
culosis infection, or to protect the
people from the source, will be very
successful.

ut. PAUL, MINI, June "A new
and burning issue has been in
jected into the already sizzling
. Minnesota primary campaign.
It centers around the riots
that marked the Today truck drivers
strike in Minneapolis, resulting in in
jury to 140 persons and fatal injuries
to two special deputies.
Both Democrats and Republicans
are emphasizing the outbreak as sig
nificantly following the radical pro-
nouncements of the Farmer-Labor
party and its standard bearer, Gov.
Floyd B. Olson.
Charges have b en- made openly
that the strike, tying up as it did q
major part of the Minneapolis COM
merce for 10 days, was invited by
Gov. Olson.
Olson Taking Rest.
Meanwhile, Gov. Olson remains
quietly in the background resting at
a Northern Minnesota resort from
the arduous vigil he kept during the
closing days of the strike when
mobilized National Guardsmen waited
in the background for renewal of the
bold challenge to the regular law
enforcement agencies.
The Governor was on the job night
and day, comforting win both the
employers and the strikers. Finally,
it was Olson who drafted the agree

factions to end the citys worst labor

Negro University
Near Completion
In Ne,U Orleans
$2,OOO,OOO Institution
to Be One of Four
Major Centers.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June q
billiard University, a s2,OO0,0OO insti-
tuition that will be one of the four
great centers Of education for colored
people, is taking shape on a 70-acre
campus.
The corner stone of the first build
ing was laid recently and workmen
soon will begin construction of four
other buildings to form the nucleus
Of the university.
Joint financial sponsors are the
American Missionary Association OF
the Congregational Church, the Meth
odist Episcopal Church's Board OF
Education, the General Education
Board and the Rosenwald Fund.
Board Is Interracial.
DR.. Will w. Alexander, director Of
the Commission on Interracial Co.
operation, heads the university as
acting president, and control is vested
in an interracial board composed Of
representatives OF the sponsors and
citizens Of New Orleans.
Its creation represents the merging
Of three institutions-New Orleans
University, Straight College and Flint
Goodridge Hospital. 1t was named
in memory of DR.. James H. billiard,
a white man, who resigned the dean
ship of Tulane University to devote
the last 20 years of his life to the
cause of Negro education as president
OF the Jeanes and Slater Funds.
When the movement was started
for the greater university, white peo-
pie and colored alike were quick to
contribute $375,000 for purchasing
the 10 acres on Gentilly avenue, one
of New Orleans principal streets.
A budget of 100000 has been set
aside for the first year, and the Fall
of 1885 will witness the beginning of
actual academic work.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June "A
gift to future generations, 24o, 900 acres
Of scenic grandeur amid the Rocky
Mountains Of Northwestern Montana
are to be preserved forever in their
virgin state.
The region is to be perpetueted by
the National Forest Service without
settlements, residences, ranches or
roads. and will afford rugged mountain
country for exploration almost as wild
as when crossed and recrossed by Flat

Area S5 Miles Long.
Situated in the Lewis and Clark Ma
tional Forest, almost entirely along the
Sun River, tributary Of the mighty
Missouri, the area is 35 miles long and
Is wide. Its eastern extremity is rs
miles west of Great Falls, and about
the same distance northwest Of Helena.
Its northern tip is brief drive from
Glacier National Park.
The entire region is said by ranger
naturaGsts to be unsurpassed in the
variety of attractions it offers the
sportsman. nature lover. students of
Indian lore and just plain recreation

Elk Herd in Area.
Within its confines are the famous

Throughout the area are honey
combs of big-game trails.
Maj. Evan Kelley, Montana re-
gional forester, summarized the States
qualification in the preservation plan
when he said:
"The Sun River area is still so un-
spoiled by the advance of civilization
and offers so many natural attractions
that it will be administered by the
Forest Service in such a manner that
Eastern as well as local people may
enjoy conditions as near primitive as
1t is possible to keep them"

LITTLE CHARGE IS
NOTED IN BUSINESS
Federal Reserve Review foI
June Notes Improvement
Over 80, However

Little change occurred In the BUSH
ness situation In the northwest from
May to June, according to the MONTH
" survey issued by the federal reserve
bank at Minneapolis. When compared
With q year ago, however. the situa-
ton Is better despite the adverse in
fluence Of the drouth.
Commenting on industrial and busi-
ness activity the banks review said:
The volume Of business IN June con-
tinued to be larger than the volume
In the corresponding month last year,
both in dollars and In physical VOL
une. The daily average Of hank
debts was ! per cent higher in June
than In the same month last year. The
country check clearings index was 10
per cent hieher, and freight car
loadings. excluding !. c. l. loadings.
were "a per cent greater. Tn. in
crease In freight carloadings over
last years volume was chiefly
caused by much greater move
ment Of ore, but there were also in
creases in the movement Of livestock,
coal. coke, forest products and mis-
cellaneous freight. Other increases
over last years's volume occurred in
electric power consumption, building
contracts and real estate activity in
Hennepin and Ramsey counties. De-
creases from last years volume &C.
CURED in grain marketings, butter
production, flour shipments, linseed
products shipments, Lei. freight car
loadings and building permits.
Retail trade in the district during
June continued to be in larger volume
than q year ago although the in
creases were not as great as those re-
ported for May. City department
stores reported q S per cent increase
In sales during June over June last
year, whereas In May they reported
an increase Of II per cent. One humid
red and forty-six country stores re-
ported an IL per cent increase In
sales during June over June last year,
whereas the four hundred and eighty
two country stores which reported
for May had an increase Of q per
cent In sales over May last year.
The cash income to northwestern
farmers from seven important items
was n per cent smaller in June than
In the same month a year ago. This
decrease was chiefly occasioned by
the abnormally large movement of
grain in the summer Of 1888 which
furnished an unusual amount Of cash
income at that time. No such heavy
movement OF grain has occurred In
1884, and as q result, farm income
from grain during June was less than
half as large as in June last year,
although grain prices in June were
higher this year than year ago.
Aside from the grains, there was an
increase in income from dairy pro-
ducts, and decreases In income from
potatoes and hogs as compared with
June last year. These income esti-
mates include benefit payments and
loans to farmers by government in
strumentalities. Prices Of all Of the
grains and Of steers, lambs, butter.
milk, hens and eggs were higher dur
ing June than q year ago. Prices Of
butcher cows. veal calves, hogs, ewes
and potatoes were lower than year
ago.
