 ent Trouble
BY J. ROBERT SHUBERT United Press Staff CorrespOndentl


 Johnstown, Pa, June 16 = (UP) -C.I.O. pickets march, ing steadily past the seven main gates of Bethlehem's giant Cambria mills today clamped down the tightest siege lines of the steel strike in anticipation of a speedy crisis in their battle against a threatened back-to-work march.
 Sporadic minor violence a bomb that boomed harmlessly as it hurtled over the Gautier gate, a picket clashe with State troopers, 8 barrage of bolts thrown from inside the plant and bombardment of stones taht broke plant windows = left the strike center tense and pre- pared for major test when the shifts of workmen change this af- ternoon.
 Greatest danger of violence lay in preparations for the first test of eff forts to break the picket lines on 8 major scale a test considered likely to affect efforts to reopen strike-bound steel plans in seven states where the CIO has demanded that four big independent companies sign union contracts.
 Strike Leaders Ready
 Strike leaders said their lines were strengthened and they were ready to meet the threat of a mass back-to-work movement which Mayor Daniel Shields predicted would start today under the watch full eyes of ITS state police and hun- dreds of volunteer VigilanteS armed with pistols and clubs.
 "The men haven't come back and aren't coming back" David Watkins. sub-regional CIO director, declared after the first change of shift witt messed few attempts to pass through the picket lines at the vast steel works cluttered along the Conc maugh valley.

A truly amazing statement is quoted
from Senator A. j. ROckne in Twin
Cities newspaper, in which the SEN
ator says: Il want every child in Min
nesota to get a good education. But
it seems to me we have gone crazy
pouring money into the schools. and
we're not far from the point where
we will have to STOP"
Surely Senator ROckne knows that
state aids to schools serve as replace
ment taxes, and what is more, the
two aids most responsible for the in
crease in the total amount which the
state gives to the schools-high school
tuition aid and the supplemental aid
are true equalization aids. If the
Senator really wants every child in
Minnesota to get a good education"
he should spend a little time during
the periods between legislative ses-
sions in different parts of the state
studying the capacity of people and
districts to maintain schools. We're
he to do this, he might discover the
startling fact that Minnesota contains
many poor people.

That the National Metal Trades AS

eating violations of civil liberties.
Unblushingly admitting that this

of his associates testified that the or
ganization devotes its entire time to
defeating the attempts of workers to

State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

With nearly a thousand bills pour
ing in upon the Legislature, Mime
sofas congressman and senators can
look to busy days ahead. Governor
Benson has already signed 20 bills.
the most important of which was a
deficiency appropriation OF $1,00O,0O0
for old age assistance.
OF great concern to the farmers OF
this state is the seed loan bill now
pending before the Senate which will
enable needy farmers to put in their
crops this spring. The liberal House
passed the bill speedily.
The bill calls for a fund of $780,
600 to be administered by county and
township boards. Repayment will be
made i'm kind-One and a half bushels
for one According to A. d. Crissey,
Morris, one of the authors and main
champions of the bill in the House, q
counties took advantage of the loans
last year with indications many more
will seek aid this year.
Among other legislation pending he
fore the House and Senate are bills
providing heavy taxes on OleOmar-
garine: preventing issuance of injunc-
tions, in labor disputes; compulsory
workmen's compensation and curbing
loan sharks extortionate interest
rates.

The progressive bloc in Congress,
including Minnesota's Farmer-Labor-
ties, was instrumental in pushing the
S5O,OOO,OOO seed loan bill through
Congress last week. The bill was i'm
signed by President Roose-
welt and became law. The interest

many other states.

rate will be per cent. despite at
tempts of the Farmer-Laborites to
have it set lower.

One thing labor ought to learn from
the General Motors strike is the need
for Farmer-Labor party everywhere
with progressive officials and a judi
ciary that is willing to protect that
portion of the public that lies outside
the 1867, OO0-a-year executives.
Contrast the handling of the strike
Governor Murphy of Michigan has
shown with methods used in Mime
sofa by the late Governor Olson in
the truck strikes and Governor Ben
son in the lumberjacks dispute. The
Michigan governor called out the Ma
tional Guard to intimidate strikers,
and the Michigan judges refused to
enforce labor's legal right to bargain
collectively.
What Motor Lords Sloan, Raskob,
Durant and the Duponts fail to see
is that they did not create the wealth
they have rolled in for the last twenty
years. If it had not been for labor
unions fighting for and obtaining bet
ter wages so that they and their fam
lilies could afford the luxury of car.
there would have been no General
Motors and no $4,000 salaries to
pay the Sloans of the motor world.
Contrary to the beliefs of some mo-
florists, Minnesota automobile owners
pay an average of only $40 in gaso-
line taxes a year as compared with
the national average of $685., the
American Petroleum Industries re-
ports. The total of all taxes on Min
nesota motorists is $50 as compared
with the national average of $50.35.
When the Literary Digest this week
wired Governor Elmer A. Benson for
his attitude toward the motor indus
try's Shutdown strikers, the Governor
made no bones about where his sym
pathy lies.
He told the Digest he was in COM
plete sympathy with the strikers and
believed that: Except for reaction
airy elements, the general public is
in sympathy with the strikers. 1t
ill behooves the motor industry, which
defies the law of the Land giving work
men the right to organize and to bar
gain collectively" argued the Cover
nor, ito make complaint on the legal
ity of the Shutdown method of the
strikers"
A Floyd B. Olson Cancer Research
Fund is proposed in bill offered to
the lower House this week by Repre-
sentative George McKinnon, Mime
apolis. The research would be con-
Quoted at the University of Mime
sofas hospital and will be concerned
with investigating and caring for vic
tins of cancer Under the bill the
state will provide $4,000 a year be-
ginning in the fiscal year 1887, and
all proceeds from the research will be
turned into the fund.
An open letter from more than Is
members of the Legislature to the
Farmer-Labor convention held in St.
Paul last week asked the people in
the state to show their approval of
social legislation now before the law
makers.
Pointing out that opposition to pro-
gressive measures is already being
met in the conservative Senate, the
letter declares that the sole remedy
rests with the people. The convention
was urged to arouse sentiment in
favor of social legislation and bring
who opposed it.

S. U. E.-My father has married
the second time. What will be the
outcome of things when he dies.
Will this marriage affect US chill
dren?
Ans: Naturally it will but
don't you think that you are trying
to cross bridges before you get to
them? He loves this woman and
intends to provide for her and if
you children don't treat her with
respect he will not favor any of
you in his will. You will be treated
fairly.
C. L. CT have fallen in love
with girl that is younger than +
am and in fact too young to receive
company. She talks around with
the boys a lot and what must do 1?
Ans: There isn't anything that
you can do. She will associate with
the young people as every other
girl will and you shouldn't try to
interfere. You were young and
don't you understand what thrill
it gave you to talk with the oppo-
site sex? This girl won't mean
much to your life.
o. R. C.-Please tell me whether
the girl I am going with loves me
or whether she just loves my
money? I can't help but love this
girl.
Ans: Of course your money
comes in mighty nice as she enjoys
good time but she certainly
wouldn't help you BLOW IT TO
THE WIND if you were disagree
able and umattractive to her. She
certainly does care for you.
L. B. C-You failed to send your
full name and correct address. Do
so that I may be able to send your
private reply. Your letter was
mailed from Edenton, N. C.
A. L. M.-When do you think
that I will be able to carry out my
fondest dreams?
Ans: Much sooner than you ex-
pect In fact you will be able
tn on HOME af ahos1f fhn f;uoo of
your next birthday.
A. J.-Should I take a chance
and go back to my wife? I really
love her and am miserable without
her.
Ans: Why don't you try to get
in touch with her through some of
your relatives and let her know
where you are. 1t seems to me that
if she was aware of your where
