La ter they came back the second time, apparently for the purpose of forc ing them to stop. The second time they came, Mine Superintendent Ralph Toy stepped atop a mound of coal and yelled: “If any of you men step onto this property we are going to open fire. This is fair \yarning.” The strikers climbed back into Jihuir cars and went on. A simular occurance was witness- bushels of potatoes, the only thing left for him to do under the law. when the senate agricultural com mittee ducked his plea for guidance. Sen. Clinton Anderson (D., N.M ), former agricultural secretary, and Sen. George.Aiken (R., Vt.), author of the Hope-Aiken agricultural act, both declared the committee should keep its hands off the touchy potato situation, although Anderson did lay the whole blame on congress and agreed with Brannan that some pro visions should be made for potato marketing quotas to complement the present acreage quotas. Brannan told the committee that under the provisions of the 1949 ag ricultural act, he is “hog tied,” and his alternatives are to spend 10 to ed in the Joanna Cotton i s * ; jj m ji]i on dollars in freight to give rnunity several years ago when a t^em away to the school lunch pro- so-called “flying squadron t ’ orn gram, give some away for industrial Whitmire, Union and elsewhere des- use or destroy the potatoes, cended upon the community with g a j d Secretary Brannan, “To meet the intention of closing down the t ^e paradox of the situation where the government seems to look more kindly on feeding surplus potatoes to livestock than human beings, we feel mill with a strike.
