FARMERS TO Join
FOR PROTECTION
IN CONNECTION WITH TRIAL
IN ILLINOIS-LIVES OF MEM.
BERs APPEARING AS WITNESS
SES WILL BE SAFEGUARDED,
SAYS REPORT.

Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 17.-Sworn to
protect the lives of their members
who have testified for the prosecu,
ton at the trial of five men charged
with murder in connection with the
Herrin mine riots, a secret organiza'
tion Of farmer today was reported tc
have been formed in Williamson and
Johnson counties, according to in.
vestigators from the Office of Attor.
ney General Edward Brundage.
"For the life of every farmer TAX
en- as the results of his testimony,
we will exact ten lives of his attack
ers," were said to have been the
words spread over the countryside.
One of the witnesses heard yester-
day just before the adjournment over
Saturday and Sunday was said by
one Of the states lawyers to have
broken down and wept just before
taking the stand and to have plead
ed that he be excused.
81 don't mind for myself" he was
quoted as having said, 'but I have a
wife and family to consider.
William Goodman, a farmer, who
took the stand yesterday in overalls
and testified that he had seen Otis
Clark, one of the defendants, in the
crowd coming from the mine. with 80
or 40 prisoners, was asked to tell
what he heard Clark say.
':Do I have to answer that?" he
asked the judge, and when answered
in the affirmative he stated:
"Well," he said "we ought to take
these men out and kill them
Equal reluctance was experienced
with several other farmer witnesses,
who have appeared during the first
three days sessions of the trial and
have pointed out several of the de-
PENDANTS as men they had seen with
guns on the morning of the tragedy.
Both the defense and prosecution
expressed pleasure today with the
course the trial has taken and the
speed with which the witnesses have
been heard and legal technicalities
been cleared away.

FIGHT IN SOUTH
FOR FARM CREDITS
NORRIS BILL uRGED-WoULD
CREATE GOVERNMENT CAPI-
Tailed CORPORATION TO
BUY AND SELL FARM PRO-
DUCTS

Washington Dec. 17.-Advocate!
of immediate action by congress
for the relief of the farmer begar
ON the senate floor today thei
fight to shoulder the administration
shipping bill out of it's position Of
advantage and put into it's place the
Norris bill creating a government
capitalized corporation to buy and
sell farm products.
A motion to lay aside the ship.
ping measure and take up the agri.
culture corporation proposal was
made late in the day by Senator
Norris (Republican) of Nebraska,
chairman of the agriculture com
mittee, a member of the newly or
ganized progressive bloc. Action on
the motion went over until Monday
but its injection into the senate
proceedings developed immediate
indications Of a bitter fight.
Senator Norris motion was for
warded by an announcement from
Senator Jones (Republican) of
Washington, in charge of the ship
ping bill, that he intended to press
his measure more vigorously next
week and by recess Of the senate
until Monday. Considerable, debate
is expected to precede the vote on
the motion, which will be the first
test of strength since the shipping
bill was taken up in the senate the
first Of this week.
Those behind the move count on
the support of the Democrats op-
posed to the shipping bill and of
the Republicans who. have been
most insistent on early action on
agricultural aid legislation. Senator
Brookhart (Republican) of Iowa,
one f the leaders in the attempt
early in the week, made a poll,
which he said showed that about
SIS senators or more than majority
favored displacement of the ship
ping bill for farm credit legisla-
tion.
Proponents of the shipping mea-
sure declared today, however, that
this strength could not be counted
upon to support a motion to take
up the Norris bill, which is one of
several farm relief measures pend
ing.

greatest post war financial opera

Preliminary figures received by
the treasury tonight indicated that

basis for statements by officials

vesments. 1t was said also that the
ovefsubscription indicated healthy
condition in business and finance.
The tax payment proved about
equal to expectations, it was said.

reject oversubscription or to refund

MARKETING BODIES
TO Be HELPED
OFFICIALS PROMISE SPECIAL
ATTENTION DECLARE THE
FARMERS HAVE RIGHT TO
DEMAND RELIEF FROM DE.
PRESTON

Washington, Dec. 16.- Coopera-
tive marketing of farm crops re-
ceived assurances of special atten-
ton from member of administrative
executive and Congressional
branches of the government today.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
Eugene Moore, managing director
of the War Finance Corporation
and Adolph C. Miller, member of
the Federal Reserve Board, told
delegates to the First. National
Council Of Farmers Cooperative
Marketing Associations that COM
modify associations had done more
toward restoring financial stabl-
ity in the United States than any
other factor, and Senator Capper,
Of Kansas, leader Of the Senate
farm bloc, declared the prospects
were growing better daily for ac-
ton on rural credits legislation.
Secretary Hoover said the farm
er had every right to demand re-
lief from the depression into which
his industry had fallen because it
had suffered more than any other.
He expressed the opinion that the
farmers greatest hope for relief
lay in cooperative marketing.
Senator Capper declared "the CO.
operative idea offers more encour-
in pulling the farmer out
of the hole in which he finds him
self due to financial and industrial
conditions, than any other factor"
He said the fact Of the farmers
plight were being brought home
to Representatives and Senators
and that more attention was being
given by Congress to the farmers
condition.
Mr.. Meyer joined Mr.. Hoover
and Senator Capper in praising the
work of the several hundred asso-
Citations represented by the dele
gates who are here from thirty
six states. Such organizations he
said had provided an element of
of which the financial
world was greatly in need. Their
success, he declared, has demon
strated the soundness of their
methods by which funds can be
made available and has shown
that loans can be made safely to
that are without capi-
tai.
Mr.. Miller expressed not only
MS individual sympathy with the
movement, but that of
The entire reserve board. He de-
,lared that relatively few farm
ers, or cooperative associations
lad taken full advantage of the
facilities Of the system available
q them.
