Sheriff Harry Crawford was expected to call for a number of spe- cial deputies. | Strikers patrolled highways in three counties which supply more than 28 jer cent of Chicago's milk supply. The counties were McHenry, Lake, and Kane, of which Elgin is the larg- est town. Farmers participating in the strike ‘stopped their neighbors hauling milk to market and threatened to dump the fluid unless they turned back. Most lof them did so rather than face the danger of violence, and many others did not attempt to make deliveries. Leaders of the strike movement list- ened to reports of attempts being made té inerease the retail price in Chicago by one-cent-a-quart to 11 cents, the advance to be passed along to the producers, but declared the strike would continue regardless. “We want the whole marketing sys- tem to be cleared up,” said E. L. Bost of Woodstock, one of the leaders. “We want the market to accept all milk meeting health requirements and we demand abolition of the unfair base price system.” MONTANAN NAMED MINISTER TO ERIN W.

D., Sept. 14—()—Fargo will get $512,000 of federal funds for construction of its sewage disposal plant, the action being the first pro- ject in North Dakota to be formally sanctioned. Announcement of the advance— with 30 per cent to be an outright grant and the remainder a loan to be repaid in 20 annual installments, set Fargo city commissioners to planning & special meeting at which bids will Y | be advertised for. From the 30 per cent the govern- ment will take Fargo's te share of whatever cost of adininistra- tion has been run up by the state pub- lic works board, which had to approve the project before it would be consid- ered in Washington. Official confirmation of the approv- al by Secretary of the Interior Ickes is awaited before bids are advertised for. It is thought the contract may be awarded in about 30 days. Construction of the plant will pro- vide work, it is estimated, for some 200 men for at least six months and possibly longer. Of the $512,000 ex- penditure it is expected $262,000 will be paid for labor, $194,800 will go for materials and the remainder the cost of the site and for engineering ex- pense. Contracts will provide that Fargo labor must be given preference and in fact that all the labor must be from North Dakota except supervisors. The government requires that first preference goes to married war veter- ans. ‘The government also will insist that man power be used in every way possible. For instance, no trenching machines will be used, all trench- digging to be done by hand.

Ample credit for business and agri- culture by seeking immediately the yeopening of banks now closed or re- stricted was a major objective of the chief executive as he looked espeically toward sluggish farm prices. The president awaited receipt of an agreement between the NRA labor and industral advisory boards which is intended to moderate, if not finally settle, conflicts over the collective bargaining provisions of the recovery law. | | Johnson In Capital With Thursday's return to the cap- ital of Hugh 8. Johnson, industrial administrator, Roosevelt was expected necessary for faster coordination and stimulation of federal recovery ef- forts, In this higher-geared program for lifting economic levels, particularly in the way of restoring commodity prices, the president was represented as confident that the banks, with government backing, would supply much of the credit need. What further steps Roosevelt planned in this direction were not re- vealed, but in his hands were the tre- mendous powers over national money and credit voted by the last congress. Included was a broad inflationary au- thority. South Wants Inflation Use of inflation moves have been urged repeatedly in recent days by southern leaders. But receiving at- tention in official quarters here was Johnson's statement during New York’s NRA rally that the govern- ment would use its full powers under the federal reserve and emergency banking acts to force credit into re- nabilitated industries. The inflation powers were contained in the recovery law. Though he demanded more speed, Roosevelt also was happy over prog- ress of his federal campaign. John- son has reported a 25 per cent recruit- ing of unempioyed into the ranks of workers and has set for his October goal another million jobs. ‘There was apparent a determina- tion of the administration to employ urice-fixing if necessary to stabilize the oll industry. President Roosevelt approved a revision of the oil code authorizing this step after a confer- ence with Secretary Ickes Wednesday m which the oil administrator told of reports of a price war in California.

New York that welcomed John 3.

Lindbergh, still never had seen anything like this. From half-past one in the after- noon, from Washington Square down below 14th St., they marched to the tunes of a hundred bands, filling the majestic avenue from curb to curb, Hundreds of thousands of weary feet plodding on until after midnight brought the last of 77 sections, rep- resenting almost every single branch of the military, civil, political and in- dustrial life of the world’s largest city, to the goal of 58th St. It was a parade, to be sure, but to the 1,500,000 more who lined the way, grimly silent for the most part. it was more than @ mammoth expression of exuberance and the high glee of cele- jbration.
