In ordering out the entire Minnea- polis force for duty, Chief of Police Michael Johannes said he was not. Prepared to ask the governor to call out the troops. He said he wanted to) get the situation Soa with- out resorting to martial law. Protest Special Officers Shortly before noon a group of 100 women and children who said they were members of strikers’ families, appeared at the city hall to ask with- drawal of special policemen. Alder- man I. G. Scott subsequently called @ meeting of labor council members to ask them to sign a petition to May- or A. G. Bainbridge protesting use of special officers. ‘The effects of this was felt as far away as Watertown, 8. D., where truck operators said their regular schedules between here and Minnea- Polis probably would be halted. Congressman Francis H. Shoemak- er, taken into custody in the market district where police found him arm- ed with a broom handle, pleaded not guilty in municipal court to disorder- ly conduct charges. Because the com- plaining policeman in the case had not arrived, the court delayed the hearing and Shoemaker spent more than three hours in the municipal court bullpen while his attorney tried to get a continuance. Battle Begins Early Strikers started arriving at the seene at dawn and their ranks were slowly increased as several produce firms in the district began moving out trucks loaded with vegetables, berries, and other perishables. Po- lice were already on hand. The maj- ority of the strikers were armed with oa, bats and poles and many car- rocks. As two trucks moved out of the 8. G. Palmer & Co. plant, a mass of pickets stepped into the alleyway to block them. Police clubs swung. The pickets International Tilt Grand Forks, N.
