sucking fumes out.
The miners families rusned to
the pit from their homes in the

Strike Case
10 be Heard
Re-Arroignment
Set for Thursday

Albert Thomas, 20, of Romeo,
was to be re-arraigned Thursday
at $50 am. on charges of ma
licious destruction of property
after Circuit Judge James E.
Spier yesterday granted a mo-
ton to quash information alleg-
ing the same offense and ordered
the jury discharged.
In grating the motion of Ray
H. Callens, counsel for Thomas,
Judge Spier denied Callens' re-
quest that the proceedings be de-
clared void and the defendant
discharged. Thomas, the state
contends, tipped over a car Nov.
% in a riot stemming from the
Mount Clemens Pottery strike.
The judge quashed the in
formation after Callens con-
tended Justice Frank E. jean
nette failed to include a certifi-
cate that he bound Thomas over
to circuit court for trial.
Later, when search of the
county clerks office failed to
locate Thor.as' bond, Jeanette
and Prosecutor Ivan A. Johnston
demanded that the youth be re-
arrested in court.
Callens dared a state trooper
to make the arrest as he stood
between his client and the Off
GER. Judge Spier ruled an arrest
impossible as long as the de-
PENDANT remained in the court
room.
In asking that@the re-arraign-
ment be delayed, Callens plead
ed that he was "distraught" and
unable to properly represent
his client" because of the ar
rest demand.

Letter Box
TO THE EDITOR:

The American farmers must
again coaleSce and become one
unit and remain undivided. The
tiller of the soil who fought for
the democracy we have, and who
made its very liberal good laws,
must again come to the front to
save America.
The farmers are the very back
bone of the war because they
produce every raw material used
to defend THIS nation. The sue
cess of the Allied Nations (who
are fighting to retain liberty
and freedom) will be determin-
ed by the increased amount OF
food and raw materials the farm
ers of America can supply to
these Nations. In order to hurry
this production along, we must
have enough money to pay our
hired men fair wages and have
good equipment so that we can
double our efficiency and also
raise moro food stuffs.
One of the most important
farm products is milk. Dairy
farming is the main source of
revenue for most of the farmers
in Michigan. But the dairy farm
ers are selling their produce be-
low cost of production. How long
can the farmers drain their nat
ural resources from their farms
and lands before they lose it?
Will the farmers be able to con-
tinue to own their farms during
the depression? The answer, No.
The farmers must stick together
in order to break these milk
trusts, who are not only robbing
the farmer, but also stealing
from the poor consumer, who
cannot afford to pay these high
prices for milk. This system is
not only detrimental to the
farmers, but to the city people
as well, who suffer from the lack
of vitamins contained in this i'm
portant food.
The farmers must not be fool
ed by the Michigan Milk Pro-
ducers' Association or by the dis
tributors who are trying to keep
the farmers quarreling SO that
they cannot unite and get a fair
price for their milk. The UDF is
a union by which the farmers
can free themselves. But the pic
ture painted by the MMPA and
some of the big distributors Is,
that the UDF is a radical organ
ization and cannot function in
the interest of the farmers.
The plan can and will work.
The large distributors and the
MMPA have never helped us In
twenty years. Their slogan is.
Keep the farmers quarreling
and we can make more money"
But are we, as farmers, going
to continue to fight amongst our
selves and to bear ill-will to.
wards the consumers who buy
our milk, or are we going to be-
come united and handle our
problems for the betterment Of
our own interests?
II the farmers want to really
solve this problem, they should
come to a UDF meeting and hear
some true facts about what is
really happening. United, tho
farmers will always continue to
own their farms but divided.
they will fatten the pockets OF
the large milk distributors and
1 increase the profits OF the
MMPA.

National UDF vice-Pres.
