(Rec. 9.50 p.m.) New York, Novemher 6. Reports from Des Moines state that violence broke out in many districts to-night as farm strikers commenced intensive picketing of the highways and railroads to prevent food supplies being transported. Railway trucks were stopped near the town of Lawton and pickets broke the seals on the trucks liberating the livestock which they eontained on to the highway. Here the cattle blocked a lorry causing the rear end of the machine to collide with a speeding car killing one picket and injuring • others. Large quantities of milk were dumped throughout Wisconsin, the strikers eutting the telephone lines and committing other acts of sabotage presumably with the idea of harassing the officials. The Governor of Iowa threatened to call out the State militia unless the civil authorities immediately restored .order.
