The district attorney said the 15 would he taken before Dist. Judge Harvey Ncelen later today. MONDAYS EARLY pattern of peaceful picketing during the morning was resumed at the plant today, but the sheriff's office was preparing for another late afternoon session in the event of further disturbances. Six persons were injured in Mondays melee.

Following the demonstration, marked by stone throwing and frequent dashes between police and pickets, UAW Vice-Pres. R. J. Thomas predicted daily mass picketing at the plant. Our union is not going to lose this strike, Thomas declared.

More than 4,000 Milwaukee area CIO workers were involved in the demonstration, given in support of the striking UAW-CIO local 248. It followed an announcement by Wisconsins Gov. Waller S. Goodland that he would call national guardsmen if necessary to maintain order in the seven-month old strike. the company, announced today.

The announcement was made 4 through the Borden firm's division at Plymouth, tV is. Eckburg said that notices terminating many of the leases are being sent out this week. He explained that the company at one time had a high of 198 leases, of which 50 have already been cancelled. Practically all of the! others will be ended within to 90 dais, Eckburg said. 60 Scenes recalling the wartime dim-out will he seen in Madison tonight as the new coal strike dim-out is expected to become fully effective.

The photographs above were taken during the wartime dim-out. The top shows State st. looking west from the Capitol Square before the dim-out and the one below shows the same view termina-jaftrr the dim-out. The dim-out went into effect Monday night but compliance was spotty because regulations had not yet been distri- buted to alt merchants, THERE IS a futile phalanx in the executive office whose main purpose in life seems to be to keep the press from getting information directly from Gov. Goodland.

The press is getting led up with the circumlocutions of this cabal. In the past, when reporters wanted tn see the governor, all they had to do was make a request of his press secretary, Edward Doan, and the interview was arranged. Then, the press could get er in the nation, is cancelling whateer information it desired practically all of its leases on irnm the governor himself. (individual cheese factories," Now. however, frank N.

Graass, i financial secretary, Edward Roc-i- Eckburg, vice-president the, executive secretary, and Gilbert Yand r-cook. press secretary, put on an around the mulberry bush act which achieves the apex of equi-X ocation. From the way these gentlemen act, you would think Goodland xv a made of Dresden china and they were afraid he would break into pieces if asked a direct question. Goodland himself Is quite willing to meet the press at any time and when the reporters stop him on his way to lunch he has always been willing to answer all questions directly and without fear of the political consequences. In fact.

Goodland has repeatedly expressed willingness to hold press conferences, but the self-appointed wet nurses in the executive office take the attitude they know what is good for the governor and the old hoy should be guarded from the inquisitive minions of the press. Vandercook always indicates his willingness to have the reporters see the governor, but nothing ever comes of bis promises to get the reporters message to the chief executive. Roethe always has some excuse which he mumbles. He never gives a direct answer to anything. His attitude seems to be that the governor has more important things to do than waste his time giving press conferences.

Graass Is always willing to talk on behalf of the govenor, but he too, goes through mental gymnastics keeping reporters away from Goodland. Reporters are quite willing to listen to Graass. but they maintain a direct quote from Goodland is much better. The trouble with Roethe and Graass is that they always keep thinking how statements will look in the newspapers while Goodland doesn't care. He is oldfashioned enough to answer a direct question directly.

IN ANNOUNCING the tion policy, Eckburg declared: The Borden company does not want to control or operate any large number of cheese factories. At the time these leases were made we announced to the owners that the company did not propose lo go into the permanent operation of cheese factories on any large scale. We prefer to buy our cheese from the factories and jet the individuals or eo-operatives own and operate them. We beliexe that individuals and eo-operatives can operate factories more efficiently than we can. During the war, when economic conditions were upset these lease arrangements were beneficial to farmers, the cheesemakers and thej company.

Now, however, that; there are no artificial controls and! normal economic forces can be' allow ed to work, we beieve it is better for all parties if the leases are terminated. The leasing ol! factories was only a temporary expedient and we are now giving up all but a few of the leases and returning control of the factories to the owners. We will, of course, continue to purchase their cheese at competitive prices. There are now and probably will be in the future a few instances in which it is to the advantage of both the theesemaker and the company to have a factory under lease. In such cases we will lease them, but such factories will be few in number.

We are definitely out of the leasing and operation of cheese factories on any large scale.

Year after year, while the states political fortunes were being writ-ten in the column of Republicans, Gov. Schmedeman stood staunchly w'ith the party of his choice and became governor of the state in the Roosevelt landslide of 1932.

But this official indicated the hope is that the legal tactics will soften up Lewis and push him toward making an agreement with the mines private owners on a working contract for his 400,000 United Mine Workers. That hope is that Lewis instead of pursuing a strike which the official said might prove disastrous to his miners as well as to the national economy will seek a facesaving end to the controversy. By bargaining with the private owners, the official suggested, Lewis could gracefully slide out of the present situation without loss of prestige and without yielding on his demands, since he has never specifically slated his demands.
