Be it enacted by the Legislature Of
the State of Minnesota:
Section /. AS a guide to the in
depreciation and application Of this
act, the public policy of the State
of Minnesota is declared to be as
follows: Improper land use prac-
tices have caused and contributed to
serious erosion of farm and grazing
lands of this state by wind and
water and that thereby top soil Is
being washed out of fields and
pastures, and speeded up the re-
moval of the absorptive topsoil,
causing exposure of less absorptive
and less protective but more erosive
subsoil; and that land occupiers
have failed to cause the diScon-
tinuance of such practice as creates
said condition, and the consequences
thereof have caused the deteriora-
ton of soil and its fertility and the
deterioration of crops grown there
on, and declining yields therefrom,
and diminishing Of the under
ground water reserve, all Of which
have caused water shortages, in
tensifies periods Of drought and
crop failure, and thus brought
about suffering, disease and i'm
poverishment of families, and the
damage of property from floods and
dust storms; and that all of said eff
fects may be prevented by land use
practices contributing to the con-
servation of topsoil by the carrying
on Of engineering operations such
as the construction Of terraces,
check dams, bikes, ponds, bitches,
and the utilization of slip cropping,
lister furrowing, contour cultivat-
ing, land irrigation, seeding and
planting of waste, sloping, abon-
doned, or eroded lands to water
conserving and erosion-preventing
plants, trees and grasses.
It is hereby declared that it Is
for the public welfare, health and
safety Of the people of Minnesota
to provide for the conservation Of
the soil and soil resources of this
State, and for the control and pre-
vention Of soil erosion, and thereby
to preserve natural resources, con-
troll floods, prevent impairment Of
dams and reservoirs, assist in main
tanning the navigability Of rivers
and harbors, preserve wild-life, pro-

ers, Dyers and Cleaners Union in an
effort to settle the l5-day-old strike

Samuel Rubenstein, chairman of the
Plant Owners Committee, said nego-
tiations with the unions representa-
tives would not be resumed until in
tlmidation of non-striking workers by
union members ceases. In a message
delivered to union leaders last night,
Rubenstein said:
I'VE are ready at any time to bar
gain collectively through representa-
tives chosen by our respective en-
ployes. We are ready to recognize as
exclusive representatives of all our
employees the representatives desig-
mated or selected by them in each
instance for the purpose of collective
bargaining by a majority of our em-
ployes
Statement Misleading"
The stoppags Of negotiations was
caused solely by the breach of the
promises made to plant owners by your
committee that all violence would
cease. It is entirely within your power
to remove the cause of this cessation
Of negotiations and II these attacks,
intimidations and coercion of those
who desire to work ceases, negotiations
can and will be resumed. We are ready
to meet representatives at any reason
able time to discuss and consider these
matters and to negotiate providing you
are representing a majority of our
employees"
Calvin Cousens, president Of the
union, in replying to Rubenstein, issued
the following statement:
The union scores the statement
issued by Mr.. Rubenstein, owner of
one of the striking plants, as un-
founded and misleading and regards
1t as an attempt to discredit the union
while in the midst of negotiations.
1t is an unsuccessful attempt to impair
the strong popular support which these
underpaid and overworked employees
have received from consumers in the
District
"Rubenstein Is Guilty One"
"The only intimidation of workers
IN this strike has been by Mr.. Ruben
stein himself. He has failed to keep
good faith with the representatives of
the strikers, but other plant owners
whom he purports to represent have
independently expressed a willingness
to negotiate with the union for a
prompt settlement. The union Is ar
ranging for such conferences for to-
day"
Meanwhile, the Retail Tailors' Asso-
citation, which Is supporting the union,
appointed a committee to arrange
with out-of-town firms to handle the
cleaning work of its members. The
committee was authorized to 60 "as
far as Philadelphia" M. Kuppersmith,
president of the association, declared.

Iceberg Scouting by Airplancs
Rejected for Ship Patrol Pla1,

Keen-eyed pilots of clipper planes
flying on regular schedule above the

sailors who scan the seas from surface
ships on the iceberg patrol, it vas de-
clared at Coast Guard headquarters

Possibility that it might soon be
feasible to abandon the surface ship

The Coast Guard made it known to-
day, however, that it had thought of
scouting for icebergs with airplanes

cided to fly from Newfoundland to

and then gave up the idea at least for
the present.
