Gregory Hatcher, Dallas. All claim they could stop the running of hot oil and bring more efficiency to the commission. The question of utility rates has been a secondary topic in campaign speeches.

Trucks Mediators Strive for Strike Settlement Minneapolis, July 27. (LP).

-A half million Minneapolis residents went quietly and almost normally about their affairs today under martial law. Soldiers with fixed bayonets brusquely forbade parking of automobiles in the business district and guarded milk, ice and grocery trucks. They streamed in and out of national guard headquarters almost within Stone's throw of the spot where 50 men were shot in a riot early in the week. Every vestige of the tension which gripped the city during 10 days of a strike of 6,000 truck and taxicab drivers had disappeared. While Adjt.

Gen. Allard A. Walsh, ruler by proclamation of Minneapolis, part of St. Paul and a large portion of Hennepin County, completed organization of his 3,600 guardsmen, federal mediators made new efforts to end the strike. Their first 'act was to reply to a letter in which employers rejected mediators' terms.

The rejection brought proclamation of martial law. Employers expressed dissatisfaction with virtually a all aspects of the plan and charged the strike was fomented by communistic leaders who did not represent their employes. Gov. Floyd B. Olson indicated that he would not retreat from a definite alignment with the cause of the union.

"I do, not agree with you," he wrote to the employers, "that the plea for a living wage for a family man receiving only $12 a week is answered by claiming that man is a communist." Olson and the mediators, the Rev. Francis J. Haas and E. H. Dunnigan, indicated that thoy would, lay upon truck owners accept- responsibility for finding an able substitute for the rejected plan.

A modified form of press censorship was established by the governor's proclamation, newspabeing forbidden to publish pers anything "defaming the state of Minnesota, or any member of the national guard in the field." The of Minneapolis and newspapers Hennepin county also were ordered to publish the proclamation for two successive days.

The Islander sank at a depth of about 375 feet, but was raised by cables within 75 feet of the surface and brought on the Leeside of Douglas Island last year. The hulk, with a. gaping hole in the bow, was beached yesterday. Close search so far failed to reveal the mythical treasure.
