The farmers' "strike," which be
came effective the last week in Au

nearly tKree months fanners in this

sianr aeenne .ih grain quoia:ions in
face of their refusal to market. Then
came the break and a flood of grain,
both wheat and corn, -is pouring into
the elevators. The break was so
sudden that buyers wec,e hardly pre

quence a peculiar reversal of condi

loads of corn in one day andvwere
able to secure only three empty cars
to handle this shipment,
Unless immediate relief is obtained
from this situation, which seems -to
be general in the Platte valley .it
will be Another case, of overflowing
elevators and no possibility of mov

nnt from here for additional grain

where grain is being marketed, with
no provisions for moving -it.

interview given to the press since)
he c.ime to Ireland, Major Genera!
Strickland, tn command of the
troops, told The Associated Press
that martial law- was pro'vinif a suc
cess He discussed the.repri.sals and
his fetter to the acting lord mayor
explaining lhat he expected aid from
the citizens through a Vigilance
committee to supply information.
He did not allude to his renort on
the burning of Cork.
Among statements made , by th1
general was one that women carried
veapons concealed in their skirts to
the ambushing forces. He declared
he did not expect immediate results
from martial law, but even before
it was imposed the murder gan? was
finding it impossible to live at home
iwd had begun to form Hying col
umns iti "the Macroom district and
parts of Tipperary and Kilkenny. '
"The. first result o( martial'-la av
was, to make these columns more
adive," he said.. "The definite thing
we are accomplishing is the break
ing of the organization of the re
publican army. Until martial law
was declared that organization was
remarkably efficicjit.
In reply to a question as to what
results had been obtained by the
proclamations demanding the sur
render of arras, the eeneral admitted
it probably was true the number-ot
arms personally' surrendered could
be counted on the fingers of -one
hand, but added; "In one way, ot an
other arms are coming in."
"The. militarists are not making
war on women -or interfering with
them," he said, "so, the difficulty of
getting the arms in the possession
of the women may be imagined."
