Pickets Of Farm Group On Holiday Highways Leading Into Sioux City Are Practically Unmolested For Day
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 5.-(AP)- Labor Day found practically all of the mid-west striking farmers back on their farms or taking a holiday far from the troubled scenes of the "war" for higher prices. The highways leading into Sioux City, storm center of the fight to withhold produce from the market until a larger return could be realized, were virtually free of picketing farm crews. So, too, were roads from northeastern Nebraska, while in Iowa and South Dakota only a few points were being guarded by protesting agriculturalists. Apparently the farmers throughout the entire area affected by the strike were adhering to the truce recently proclaimed by Milo Reno, president of the Farmers Holiday Association, and were marking time pending the conference of governors scheduled to be held at Sioux City September 9, when an agricultural relief program is to be discussed.
