On Wheat Bound for
Kansas City Storage

Bushels Tied Up
Ds the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, July 15.-An
immediate embargo on all wheat
consigned to Kansas City for storage
was declared today by executives
of s10 trunk-line railroads.
l.. M. Belts of Washington, mana
ger of the Car Service Division of
the American Railways Association,
said notices were being sent that
no wheat will be accepted for con-
signment TO the Kansas City market
for storage because of inadequate
space in greater Kansas City ele-
vatorS.
Defense Demands Cited.
Mr.. Belts said wheat shippers who
could show that their grain was
for immediate sale. or that they
had made arrangements for private
storage could still send their wheat
to Kansas City.
The railroad meeting was called
by Mr.. Belts, after the Kansas City
Board of Trade disclosed there are
500 to 1000 cars of wheat 100000
million bushels-on tracks for which
tneIe Is Io IOOlu III leIIllIldl
elevators
Mr. Belts said the railroads had
10000 cars available in this area,
but there was no place to deliver
the grain. Railroads, he explained,
do not want TO use their cars in
definitely for track storage because
of defense demands.
May Pile Crop on Ground.
Kansas is producing its third
largest wheat crop, approximately
1872 100000 millions. Harvesting in
many areas is incomplete due to
delays caused by rain.
Grainmen predicted many farmers
will have to pile their wheat on the
ground this year as result of the
embargo.
Mr.. Belts said it may be necessary
to extend the embargo to other
cities in this area.

in SOCIALIST
WORKERS TRIAL
Mrs. Grace Carlson,
Former Rockwell APP
pointee, Found Guilty

Eighteen persons who have been
on trial in federal court in Mime
apolis in recent weeks were con-
victed this past week on the charge
Of advocating the overthrow Of the
United States government by force
and violence, and now await SEN
tence.
All were members Of the Social
list Workers Party and as such re-
puted to be affiliated with the
Trotskyite Communist party. They
were indicted along with eleven
others July Is following an extern
sive investigation by government
agents; and their trial, unique in
the annals of the courts, has held
the spotlight for many weeks.
Prominent among those convict
ed was Grace Holmes Carlson, who
was formerly employed in the state
department of education by John
G.. Rockwell, former commissioner
Of education, and was one of the
causes for the disagreement be-
tween Rockwell and the present
board Of education, resulting in his
removal from office.
Commissioner Rockwell appoint

in the department, inquiry showed,
long after he knew of her associa-
ton with the Socialist, Workers
Party and the Trotskyite Commun-
lists. She was candidate for the
Senate on the Socialist Workers
Party ticket in 1910.
Many Of those convicted were
prominent former leaders in 544
Truck Drivers Union. They had
been bitter opponents of the new
Minnesota labor peace law spon-
sored by Governor Stassen. Among
them were v. r. Dunno, organizer
for CIO-544 and long a center Of
the controversy that has ragged
about this union; Carl Skoglund,
former president of 544, and Far
rell Dobbs, national labor secretary
Of the Social Workers Party.
Miles B. Dunno, another Of the
Dunno brothers, was acquitted
along with four others who were
on trial. Charges against five 9TH
ers were dismissed during the
trial.

Elaborate decorations are import
ant features of most parties held
in clubs, dance halls. and other
public places; but terrible tragedies
have occurred when small fires
have flashed across halls filled
with combustible hangings. Many

reduce their flammability. Fire
proof material can be purchased at
many stores.
Cotton batting and paper In cos

them flame-proofed.
Christmas wrapping burns like

from the house as soon as possible.
See to it that all wrappings go
into the waste basket and that 1t
is taken out and dumped into a
covered metal barrel or incinerator,
as soon as 1t Is filled. All waste
material should be removed from
the house at once.
Churches, schools, clubs, stores
and other places of public assemb-
lage need especially to be careful
Of fire during the Christmas holi-
days. Most of them will be dec
GRATED and most Of them will be
crowded during large part Of the
time. Fire in any crowded public
building may easily lead to a pan
ic, as the exits are frequently in
adequate to take care Of so many
people in a hurry.
Aisles and exits must be kept un-
obstucted, and exits should be
clearly marked. Sprinklers, hand
hose and fire extinguishers should
be kept ready to operate should
an emergency arise. An addition
al measure of fire protection is the
garden hose with a faucet within
reach of the trees. Buckets of
water, widely distributed, may
mean the difference between a
trivial flareup and holocaust.

.STASSEN SEEKS
PROTECTION FOR
DAIRY FARMERS
Calls Conference AS Milk
Diversion Program
Threatens Creameries

Concerned over the prospect OF
permanent injury to Minnesota's
cooperative creameries and the
vast butter market Of the state in
the governments effort to divert
fluid milk inc other products, Gov
ernor Harold e. Stassen has ap-
pealed to federal authorities to
protect the creameries, which have
made Minnesota the No. butter
state Of the nation.
In a letter to Secretary of Agri-
culture Claude Wickard this past
week Governor Stassen:
1. Submitted request on the
part Of dairy, and farm leaders OF
the state that butter be included
In a reasonable proportion to the
cheese, powdered milk and other
products supplied Great Britain.
2. Asked for information as to
dairy products that will be required
OF. Minnesota during the coming
year. ..,s,... .... III
3. Proposed that dairy and farm
leaders upon receipt Of this infor-
nation adopt an orderly plan to
get the supplies that will avoid
disruption of Minnesota's great
dairy industry g a.
Federal authorities have been
seeking to divert as much milk as
possible to chetSe. powdered milk
casein and other products, sought
by England under the lease-lend
bill, and prices have been increased
steadily on these articles, with the
result that more and more milk
is being diverted from butter max
ing. .'. .y," .--'-'.,. ..-
Seriously concerned over effect
of the proposal on Minnesota's
dairy industry, Governor Stassen
called together dairy and farm
leaders, officials Of the state de-
partment Of agriculture and the
college Of agriculture to consider
how Minnesota may assist In the
lend-lease program and obtain the
better prices offered for dairy pro
ducts included in the program and
at the same time avoid permanent
injury to its butter market. The
Governor was instructed to make
the appeal to Washington just not
ed. He said he would follow this
up by going to Washington and
personally seeking to get the fed
eral program modified.
Attracted by the other prices fol-
fluid milk, many farmers are de-
sorting the butter making program
of their cooperative creameries
Senator Oscar A. Swenson, widely
known dairy leader, said. w. 8
Moscrip, president of the Twin City
Milk Producers Association, ex-
pressed the view that the diversion
program, II carried through on q
broad scale, may wreck the coop
erative creameries. A number OF
creameries have put in equipment
to powder milk, 1t was pointed out
and others have installed cheese
making equipment.
Demand for cheese and powder
