As New Dealers, antis, and middle- ground men composed their final pleas to the 30,000,000 persons expect- ed to cast ballots, the question in the minds of virtually all the experts is not whether the Democratic party in general will emerge triumphant, but how emphatic the endorsement will be. ‘Though they will have their victor- ies in individual states and cases, the Republicans, even in their rosiest rev- next Jan. 3.

Several states will vote on repeal of their constitutional- _ prohibitions against liquor, wlihe in others the voters will concern themselves with local option proposals. In some, re- jess of the outcome of the voting, liquor control laws will not be affected as they pre-date the state prohibition amendments. In still others, the ef- fect will be only indirect as the ques- tion will be put up to legislative bodies. North Dakota and Florida vote on repealing their dry laws; in Nebraska, Idaho and Kansas the voting will be on the repeal of constitutional pro- hibitions. The Kansas prohibition amendment has been a part of the constitution for 5 years. Californie, a leading wine produc- ing state, votes on two measures. One would relax the present liquor laws te permit serving liquors other than beer or wine with meals and permit beer and wine to be served without meals, The other would establish the right of local option. Each city and town in Massachu- setts will vote on whether hard liquer, beer and wine, neither, or both may be sold. Thirty-eight election divi- sions in Ohio will vote on straight local option, banning liquer, wine and beer; seven will vote on beer and wine; and four on beer. About 140 Pennsylvania communi- ties will vote on the matter of con- suming liquor on the premises where sold.

Closing is to become effective at midnight Monday, he declared, and must continue, under the law until they | midnight of election day. Papke asked cooperation of local authorities in maintaining observance of the law. Beer Licenses Bring State Over $100,000 Wholesale and retail beer licenses collected reached the $100,000 mark Monday, Sidney A. Papke, regulatory chief, announced. The licenses have been sought at the rate of $10,000 per \day, Papke said. \ « HIGHER PURCHASING POWER FOR FARMER SEEN ATER SURVEY COMMITTEE NAMED “TONEGOTIATE WITH 300 WAGON DRIVERS Miles Dunne, Mill City Truck Driver Organizer, One of Six Arrested WALKOUT STAGED SUNDAY Picket Lines Prevent Deliveri Legion Posts Open Milk © Depots Fargo, N. D., Nov. §£—(P)—A 10- day truce in the Fargo-Moorhead milk strike was declared at 1 a. m. Monday following a conference of employers, strikers, the Fargo Trades and Labor Assembly and a civic com- mittee. The truce followed a day marked by several instances of violence, arrest of six men, including Miles Dunne, who played an important part in the recent Minneapolis strike. and complete stoppage of milk sales from 4 a. m. Sunday when the strike was declared until 4 p m. Sunday when the American Legion posts in both cities opened up milk depots for sale to families with infants and in- valids. A committee has been named to negotiate for an agreement before the expiration of the truce. The true agreement provides: 1. A truce for 10 days begin- ning Monday. 2. A minimum wage of $18 per week. 3. Not to exceed 48 hours and nor more than 6 days per week. 4. No reduction in pay for workers formerly employed more than 48 hours. 5. All strikers including those arrested to be allowed to return to work. 6. Any wage agreement sub- sequently made to be retroactive to Monday. The drivers staged a walkout early Sunday following failure of negotia- tions for higher wages and union recognition. Dunne was held under $1,000 bond charged with inciting to riot and riot- ing. The five others, all said to be Fargo milk wagon drivers, were held on $300 bond charged with rioting.

Support agricultural outlook for Monday, the bureau said: “Although some further rise in the level of food prices-may be looked for during the comifiig year, the prices ot other goods purchased for family living will probably continue at about their present levels. “A small improvement, publication ilies, may, in general, be expected.” ‘The report said that reduced sup- plies, with better purchasing power by consumers, probably would boost farm income during the first half of 1935. Continuation of the improve- ment in demand would depend on how durable goods industries’ re- covered. The prices of goods used in pro- ducing farm commodities is expected to the average somewhat higher, at least until June. There probably will be an export surplus of wheat next year, the report said, and prices of meat animals probably will rise sub- stantially.

Thompson, trustee of Union |No. 173, of the milk wagon drivers said a general truck drivers strike was under consideration and that a vote by various unions might be taken some _ ‘time this week. Determined to dam the source of \supply pending adjustment of differ- jences, strikers picketed highways lead- ing into the cities and in one instance, jstopped one farmer and dumped five jeans of milk.

Outlook for Wheat Reported Improved Washington, Nov. 5.—(#)—Some im- provement in the whole wheat situa- tion is noted in the annual agricul- tural outlook for 1935 issued by the agricultural bureau of economics. “Unless abandonment is heavy and ylelds are again below average next year,” the bureau said, “the new crop will provide an export surplus and it is to be expected prices in the Unit- ed States may be but a little above an export basis during most of the 1935-36 season.” It was explained this has been largely the result of two successive years of low production due to poor yields and heavy abandonment of wheat in the United States, although acreage reduction and the removal of surplus wheat from the Pacific northwest through governmental aid have. also tended to increase U. 8. prices relative to world prices. . | ' Not-So-Youngsters | Abuse New Capitol | First it was hide and seek in the corridors of the new state capitol. Then the youngsters decided it was @ grand roller-skating rink, and ruined the concrete and stone steps. Now the not-so-youngsters have taken to driving their automobiles down the capitol sidewalk at night. Ed Nelson, superintendent of the building, reported this last strange fact Monday. { berg, Floyd Clements and A. E. Ram- Milk Dumped at Moorhead In Moorhead, milk was spilled on the pavement as a farmer attempted to run a picket line, and one creamery employee was assaulted, In Fargo milk was delivered by police convoy. To curb disorder more than 100 (special police were assigned to duty in jthe two cities. Strike pickets turned back scores of farmers as they enter- ed the two cities with trucks loaded with cream. Culminating a union organization campaign of several months duration land weeks of negotiation with employ- ers which ended in disagreement at a conference Saturday night, the strike was called for 4 a. m., Sunday and by 6 a. m., pickets were in position at virtually all large creameries and on principal thoroughfares entering downtown sections. In Moorhead picketing centered about the large Fairmont Creamery company plant, the largest in the two cities, where one employe was man- handled by pickets. Emil Schroeder, a farmer, who was warned to “keep moving,” drove his truck loaded with 25 cans of cream to to Fairmont loading platform where pickets leaped on it and dumped two cans before he could drive away. Stocks Soon Exhausted Although rumors of a strike had been current for some weeks, the act- ual walkout came virtually without warning to householders, and hun- dreds were forced to walk to neighbor- hood groceries for their supply Mon- day morning.
