ABOUT might RIDERS"
Reason Why They Raid Tobacco
Farms in the South.

Press dispatches almost daily tell
of another might rider raid in Ken
lucky. With change of date and loca-
lion, % dispatch will serve for each
accounc A band Of men ride into
town. burn a tobacco warehouse, hurt
somebody that amounts to an interior
ence maybe-and ride out again.
To-day the Kcntuckians are fighting
not only for the right to reasonable
returns for labor and capital, but for
the very right to exist. Their enemy
Is the most relentless and most com
plcte monopoly with which this oun
lrv is cursed-the tobacco trust.
Having absorbed all American and
perfected working agreements with
foreign purchasers of raw tobacco, the
trust laid it's heavy hand on the pro.
Queer. In 1893, with a greater retail
demand than ever before, the price
paid the growers began to fall. From
that time their income was steadily
forced down from II cents to 6 cents
I pound in a few years-this in a
period when labor and living expenses
we're on constantly ascending scales.
The trust finally announced that the
must sell the 1906 crop for
) - cents or 90 out of business.
MANY of them chose the latter, as
either proposition meant the same
thing. The growers finally organized,
agreed to sell no more tobacco at less
than Is cents per pound and to per
nit no other tobacco to be supplied
the trust at less than a living rate, if
they could help it.
That is why night riders" are burn
ing tobacco sold to trusts and whip
ping growers who attempt to fur
nish it.
The governor of Kentucky, former
attorney for the toboccO trust, stands
ready with a veto for remedial legis-
that is the basis of a desperate
struggle in the legislature.
The might riders are recruited in
heart of the blue grass region.
they are neither ignorant nor law
less. They are fighting as free men
sill ever fight with the only effective
at hand against injustice and
crime their country's legal machinery
will not reach.
And the best featu%e of their fight
S that they are bringing the trust to
terms after holding their crops and
starving along -or three bitter, dis
3ouraged years.
