Three Hundred Negro and White
Workers Assemble at Hill Late
To Hear Candidates Epeak. =.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 4.-(CNA)
Three hundred Negro and white
workers assembled at the Hoskin Mill
here to hear the Communist election
campaign speakers. The meeting was
broken up by the, boss men of the
Haskin Mill and their thugs and
spies. j. A. Rogers, Communist can
didate opposing Bulwinkle, running
for congress was to have spoken at
the meeting, but was prevented by
the thugs. his is the same Bulwinkle
the vicious prosecutor, who got down
on his knees and pleaded with the
jury to bring in a death verdict in
the Gastonia cases. The splendid
spirit of the workers has caused the
party issue another call for a
meeting to be held at the same mill.
The workers are determined to de-
fend their right to carry on an cleo
ton campaign. The Negro workers
expressed regret at noe being able to
hear the speakers talk on the cleo
ton platform, which demands efual-
ity for the Negroes and fights against
lynchlngs, mob terrorism, and i'm
crowism. Many remarked that it was
the first time that any party had
come south and advocated the unity
OF Negro and white workers. These
workers have pledged to support the
candidates of the Communist party in
this state.

WILL NEGRO FARMERS GET
THEIR SHARE.

Washington, Sept. 4.-(CNS. y
Two hundred thousand dollars have
been allotted to Virginia by the
United States Department of Agri
culture for loans to drought area far
mers in the purchase of seed and fer
tilizer for fall pasture crops.
The 100000 allotment to Vir-
ginia was made from an unexpended
fund of 100000 left over from q
Federal appropriation for storm and
food relief last year in Southern
states and many are asking the guess
ton: will Negro farmers get their
share?"
Applications for loans must be
made to county agents and must be
approved by county drought relief
committees. These loans will be con
finded to individuals unable to finance
loans from any other source, with
notes maturing July l, 1881, at 5 PEI
cent interest from the date of sc
curing such loan. Borrowers sign
notes. but give no lien, therefor
loans must be confined to good mora
risks.
Loans are for fall pasture crops
only as law does not permit financing
crops planted now to be harvested
next year. Necessary forms will be
distributed to extension agents early
next weey.
Designated as fall pasture crops
are rye, oats, barley, wheat for pas
turage, crimson clover, rape, tur-
nips, vetch and any mixtures of these
seeds. If sown within the next three
weeks, these crops should afford
grazing this year. for a period Of
from thirty to forty days as rain
can be counted on in September, es
pecially during the equinox period.

Indiana Citizens Demand
Prompt Action In Lynchings

New York, August 90 Firm de-
mand that Governor harry g. Leslie
and Att y-Gen., Jas. M. ogden of In
diana take acUion to apprenend and
punish the lynchers who, on August
&, murdered Thomas Snipp and Ap-
faham Smith, was made by dele
cation representing tht Marion and
Indiana branches of the n. A. A. q.
+. The Delegation was neaued by
Mrs. w. L. Bailey OF Marion, pres
ldent ot the lnanana Conference of
the N. A. A. C.. 2. Mrs Bailey pre-
sented the petition, citing the fact
that Sheriff Jacob Compbell and other
officers were notified three or four
hours prior to the lynchings that a
mob was being formed, and that the
sheriff did nothing ether to pcotect
his prisoners or to remove them to o
place OF sate-keeping. Besides the
charges OF inaction, the petition
urged the governor "to use every
bit OF the power and authority lie
has to cause every person IN the
State of Indiana asd the United Sta
ties of America, to know that lynchln
and making attacts upon the State
such as the mob did when it ottacked
ire jail at Grant County, Iadiana
and the failure of public officials to
do their duty will not be condoned
in the State of Indiana and that
speedy justice in accordance with the
laws of the State of Indiana will be
meted out to them" The petition
also urged the governor to assure
protection. to the citizens afraid to
testify against the lynchers and also
to urge the Prosecutor and Judge of
Grant County to exercise the power
and authority they possess to bring
the lynchers to justice. The petit
toner's also demanded of the governor
that he request the resignation OF
Sheriff Campbell for his failure to do
his duty in repelling the lynchers.

Governor acknowledges Receipt of
- Names of Lynchers --------
Another late development has been
acknowledgment by Governor Leslie,
through his secretary. of the receipt
from Walter White, Acting Secre-
tary of the N. A. A. C. p, Of the
names of nineteen members of the
mob with evidence against these al
legged lynchers. y
The activity of the N. A. A. c. +
in the Marion lynchings has caused
wide discussion in Indiana. The
Indianapolis Times of August 2lst
declares, in part;
"It is unfortunate that the demand
for action against the lynchers at
Marion was made by delegation
of Negro citizens.
"There should have been a process
sion of delegations of white citiztns
there ahead of them, making the same
demands, and asking the Governor
to make at least gesture OF protecc-
ton for any citizen who gives evl,
dence against those who supplanted
private vengeance for law. -.
"Hesitation on the part OF .puolle
officials, either those at Marion or
at the statehouse. is not creditable
to the state. 1t suggests either
fear of mobs or sympathy with the
lynchers."
