In doubt Beer trucks, however. were
removed from the privileged list and
were forbidden use OF the streets on
the ground that they did not furnish a
necessary service.
AT a mass meeting OF union laborers
the leaders demanded the withdrawal
of the troops, the secretary Of the
truck drivers union charging that the
soldiers were little more than strike
breakers"
Governor Olson's reply to this was
10 have the strikers headquarters
raided and their three leaders arrest
ed. This naturally enraged the truck
drivers and there was considerable
violence.
Notwithstanding all this, the federal
~mediators, Father Haas and e. J. Dun
nigan, were hopeful of bringing about
a peaceful agreement In the near fu-
ture.
Riots In kohler Village, Wis, In which
two men were killed, led Gov. A. G..
sehemedeman to place the community
under martial control, and 600 men,
bers of the National Guard were sent
there. During the riot the police and
deputies used tear gas bombs and
blank cartridges and where these failed
to dispense the mob, they opened fire
with loaded shells. The officer COM
handing the Guardsmen ordered the
disbanding Of the force OF special dep
uties and permitted the strikers to
resume peaceful picketing of the Koh-
Ter plant.
Longshoremen OF the Pacific coast
ended their two-month long strike and
returned to their jobs In all the ports,
as did the marine workers. Pending
arbitration by the federal board, steve
dores will be employed by employer
controlled hiring halls under super
vision Of observers representing the
board. Control of the hiring halls was
the chief issue in the strike and Is
still to be settled by the arbitrators,
along with the questions OF increased
wages, shorter working hours and i'm
proved conditions.

GEORGE N. PEEK, President Roose-
- velt's special adviser on foreign
trade, announced that In an effort to
recapture some of Americas markets
abroad the so-called Second Export
Import bank was ready to finance
American shipments to any country In
the world.
Hitherto this second bank has dealt
only with Cuban trade, while the first
bank was created TO handle Rus
sian business. Thus far the Russian
bank has been moribund because Rus
STA has failed to pay her war debts to
this country.
Short term, intermediate, and long
term credit will be offered to Ameri-
can shippers who need financing to
push through deals abroad, Peek said.
He defined short term credits as those
OF. less than 1870 days, intermediate
credits as those maturing In 100 days
to IL months, and long term credits
as those with maturities between one
and five years.
CENATOR HUEY p. LONG and
- Mayor t. Semmes Walmsley of
New Orleans were having another
lively fight In the southern city.
Governor Allen, n Of Longs hench-
men, modified 500 OF the state troops
and seized the registration Office and
its files, and the soldiers also were
ordered to search out the city's red
light district and gambling houses.
The mayor increased his police forces
to 1.400 and for a time there was
prospect of civil war;"
Walmsley said the moral crusade
was just a smoke screen to conceal
the senator's real purpose OF taking
oyer the city government and influ-
encing the primary election In Sep
TENDER, in which both he and Long are
supporting rival candidates.
TAPAN'S hopes for naval equality
- with Great Britain and the Unit
ed States were dashed by a frank
statement by Secretary OF the Navy
Swanson to the effect that, In his per
sonal opinion, while the United States
might favor q slash of 20 per cent In
naval ornaments, 1t would strongly
oppose any realignment Of existing
naval ratios for the principal powers.
Il take the same position / always
have" Secretary Swanson said. The
naval powers met In London and dis
tributed naval strength as they
thought just and right. Naval strength
is relative. II we abandon the ratios
there LIS no telling where we shall CO."
