Favorably
OPEN SHOP
is THE ISSUE

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Events
Of far reaching importance in the
labor world are expected to follow
the meeting Of the Senate Commit
tee on Education and Labor called
to take action upon two resolutions
Of inquiry. The first is the proposal
Of Senator Borah Qdaho), that the
strike in the clothing industry and
the struggle between the manufactur-
ers and the Amalgamated Workers
of America be investigated and that
the inquiry cover all clothing CEN
tres in the United States.
The second resolution OF Senator
Johnson (Cal). that there be an in
vestigation OF conditions in the BIZ
luminous coal fields Of West Nir-
ginia and territory adjacent to the
boarder OF that state and Kentucky.
where border warfare has been in
progress for many days. Both reso-
lutions, il is indicated by "a canvass
Of the committee today, will be re-
ported favorably. The question of
the open shop is the base OF the con-
troversy in both cases.
1t is the intention OF the sub
committee. which probably will con-
duct the bituminous coal investigR
ton, to hold their hearings at VIII
Jamestown, w Va, in the disturbed
zone. If any hearings are held In
Washington they will follow the tes-
timony taken on the scene OF action
and will be merely for the purpose
of clearing up minor points not OBJ
tainable at or. near the coal fields

Rice and Cotton CrOWerS
Face Ruin! Death!

LITTLE ROCK. Arix.-Twenty-
seven night riders are serving SEN
tences, but the trials of the Arlxan-
sas farmer are not ended.
Many rice growers face starvation.
Their 1920 crops are rotting in the
field or being fed to cattle.
Rough rice has decreased from
$3.50 a bushel last fall to 20 cents
a bushel at present. Polished rice
that sold at 25 cents a pound, sells
now at four pounds for a quarter.
There is no market for 60 million
bushels of Arkansas rice, the states
second most important crop.
Similar market conditions are fac
ed by cotton growers, with night
riding added to their troubles.
Tenants demanded two-thirds of
the crop IL they furnished nothing
but labor. If they furnished teams
and labor they demanded three
fourth OF their crop.
Grower refused their demands. A
group of tenants organized. They
put white robes on their horses.
They wore black stockings over their
heads with holes cut for nose and
eyes and the foot OF the stocking
hanging over their shoulders.
Their password was 'Blood's
Red" A pistol was held against the
chest OF each man as he took the
oath OF allegiance. Penalty for
breach Of faith or failure to execute
orders was death by beheading.
Barns, live stock, implements and
crops were burned Property valu-
ed at millions was lost.
The riders rode two abreast TO
obdurate planters homes. They
dragged the planters from their
homes and whipped them.
Four planters of Craighead coun-
| ty were marked for death because
| they attempted to protect them
selves with firearms.
Disagreement within the organiza-
tion over inflicting the death pen
atty led to the weakening of the or
/ gani2ation.
Dewitt Garrett, captain OF the
band, was indicted on AZ counts. He
was convicted. Twenty-six others
| confessed.
Armed riders threatened to storm
| the courthouse at Jonesboro an
rescue them. Special deputies were
sworn in for the trial.
After the men were sentenced the
courthouse was burned down.
