A—4 VIOLENCE FLARES INMILK STRIKE Nearly 50 Cans Are Dumped in Disorders in Upstate New York. By the Associated Press. UTICA, N. Y. Oct. 29.—Violence flared over a widely scattered area in Upstate New York's milk strike today a8 strike advocates and non-strikers clashed over the delivery of milk to several dairies. Nearly 50 cans of milk were dumped in Franklin, Schoharie and Delaware Counties and strike pickets resorted to highway blockades to halt deliveries. At Moira, in Franklin County, Will Robideau reported to the sheriff's office that strike sympathizers crowded around his truck and shook and rocked it until five cans of milk tipped over. 32 Cans Dumped. At Richmondville in Schoharie County Luke Rider reported approxi- mately 30 pickets dumped a load of 32 cans after he detoured off the high- way to avoid a barricade. A fist fight between strike sympa- thizers and non-strikers developed | near the Hegeman Farms plant at | Kortright in Delaware County, the | sheriff’s office reported. At Woods Corners in Chenango County a half dozen pickets stopped & truck and dumped nine cans of milk. Sheffield and Dairymen’s League plants were the destination of several of the loads. Reports of minor violence earlier had brought from Archie Wright, or- ganizer of the Dairy Farmers’ Union, an admonition to all farmers on strike to “stop unnecessary violence.” No Great Stoppage Seen. “This strike movement is spreading like wildfire,” Wright commented yes- along Main street.

In New York City, both Health| Commissioner John L. Rice and the!| New York metropolitan milk distribu- tors' bargaining agency predicted the eity will feel no great stoppage of milk | while the strike is at its present strength. On the eve of the strike, the Shef- fleld Condensed Milk Co. formally an- nounced a new schedule of prices to be paid producers in St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton Counties, where & boycott was called by the union August 1. ‘Wright, however, asserted that there was “nothing new in the Sheffield offer,” S.E.

Administration officials expressed hope that the new margin require- ments would create a turning point in the financial markets, so private financing could get to work filling the gap left by curtailment of Govern- ment spending. Was Showing Recovery. Industrial financing never has ap- proached 1928-29 levels, but was show- | ing a marked recovery from depres- | sion lows until the current market | | met at the institution and at that irregularity upset the progress. Although some ofthe security issues | pending before the commission would | be used in refinancing operations, the\ registration statements showed 45 of the companies delaying their flotations | intended to use at least part of the | new money for expansion and new | equipment. Commission officials explained also | that the backlog was not entirely the | result of market conditions, because a | few issues normally are delayed for one reason or another. The new margin requirements go into effect Monday. Designed to fa- cilitate stock buying and curb short sales, they will reduce the buying margins from 55 to 40 per cent and impose a 50 per cent margin require- ment on short sales. Further Steps Held Up. An impression prevailed among informed officials that the Govern- ment would take no further steps until the resulis of the Reserve Boards action are ascertained. This may require several weeks. The board’s monthly summary of business conditions” yesterday showed other economic barometers had been dropping with the stock market. Industrial production, as registered by the board's seasonally adjusted index, dropped from 117 points in August to 111 in September, as com- pared with 109 in September a year 8go. Under that index, industrial produc- tion of 1923-1925 is 100. ‘The board’s summary showed con- struction, factory employment and freight loadings deciined under August, but department store sales were up.

W. | members of Congress and officials of | the Welfare Board were drawn into full statement later today. Charging that the recent riot at the institution was not the first, that the is full of such instances,” Dr. Smith declared & thorough investigation should have been made long ago “of a situation that was notoriously bad | when I took the position a year and a half ago.” Board Is Assailed. “It is public knowledge that Sen- ator King (chairman of the Senate sidered conditions at the institution as barbarous and a disgrace to the Nation,” she continued. “The insti- tution had been conducted in that manner for years by the Public Wel- fare Board. “I have tried my best to correct the situation under tremendous difficul- ties with which I believed the welfare board to be sympathetic. But the | board failed to take me into its con- fidence as it has other District of- ficials, “Just last week, the board members time there was not the slightest hint that I would be discharged.” Shortly after Dr. Smith was ap-| pointed in February 10, 1936, she launched a public campaign for im- provements at the institution. Sen- ators Copeland, Democrat, of New | York and King, after a personal in- spection of conditions at the school, | declared they were “barbaric.” The campaign gained wide support, | and Congress made the $100,000 ap- propriation that year for the enlarge- ment. Later, during her first year's service, Dr. Smith and girls from the institution were invited to a tea party | on the White House grounds, with Mrs. Roosevelt as hostess. Succession of Riots. A series of difficulties arose later, | however, and there were a succession of riots. Also there was an issue over the type of buildings to be erected at the institution. Officials of the Budget Bureau, the District Commissioners, the debate. A new cottage, one of the improvements finally selected, now is under roof, and the construction of a new heating plant has been carried to an advanced stage. Dr. Smith came to the District serv- ice from the Public Health Service. Previously she had held official posi- tions with the Gainesville (Tex.) State Training School for Girls and with the Montrose (Md.) Training School for Girls. Trained in Social Work. Dr. Smith received elementary and high school training in the public schools of Georgia and also studied at the Scarritt Bible School of Kansas City, Mo., and took social work train- ing at the Pennsylvania Women's Medical College. According to records at the District Building, one of the sponsors of Dr. Smith for the District appointment was Miss Lenroot. The Commissioners declined to comment on the case ex- cept to say Mrs. Smith had been ap- pointed on the recommendation of the Board of Public Welfare and that she now had been discharged also on the recommendation of the board.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—H. G. Wells, the English novelist, came to town last night and caught a little girl fibbing. She came in a caracul coat to the press conference with two of the boys from Northwestern University, where Mr. Wells will speak tonight, and she sald, “I'm an enthusiastic reader of your books, Mr. Wells.” “How charming,” said the author. “Well, if you're an ardent reader of mine, you might tell me the names of the four books I had published this year.” The little girl smiled and she blushed, but the room was full of silence. The names, it seemed, had escaped her Reporters who followed her to the hall in a vain quest for her name found her weeping. “I've mever been so embarrassed in my life,” she said. “I'll never, never, never read a book of his again!” Yl SR The 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition, travel experts believe, will bring about the greatest westward surge of visitors in history. l/ i/ ANNIVERSARYI AY .
