Man Who Shot White Landlord Killed in Cot tage - Corpse Is Pulled Through Town at End of Chain, Soaked With Cas- oline and Ignited.

Honey Grove, Tex, May 17 UP) Bitter racial feeling swept thls small farming community tod ly after the second outhurst Of mob violence in Texas within a week.
 Within a few hours after Sam Johnson, young Negro tenant farm el, had shot and killed l.. F. Forten- berry, 30, white landowner, mob of 400 men besieged the Negro in his cabin and riddled his body with bull let's. Then, after chaining the body 10 an automobile and dragging it through the Negro section of the town, the angry throng strung it from the limb of tree, soaked lt with gasoline and set it ablaZe.
 Says Order Restored
 Although Negro residents of the town remained within their cabins and shanties today fearful of further violence, Sheriff Hughes of Bonham said order had been restored among the 900 residents here to such an extent that he believed no assistance from the national guard would be necessary.
 For a time, however, the mob spirit threatened to create a situa- ton as serious as that at Sherman, Tex. in the adjoining county, where another Negro was hanged and burned just a week ago for an attack on a white woman.
 
 ting fire to Johnson's body, dispers- eG last night without further trou- ble. A few hours after they had left handful of Negroes crept quietly from the cabins on the outskirts of inc community and cut down the bcdy. which they carried to Negro cemetery.
 Call to Obtain Rent
 The drama moved speedily and ruthlessly from the time Forten- berry. and his friend, Tom Hannard called yesterday afternoon at John- sons cabin to inquire about his rent They found Johnson packing his belongings, apparently about 10 leave the farm.
 You're not leavingP' Forten' berry inquired. The Negro, accord ing to Hannard. replied by firing three times at Fortenberry, killing him instantly.
 Johnson then barricaded himself in his cabin on the edge Of town. When word of the shooting spread through Honey Grove, townspeople and farmers swarmed to the cabin with shotguns, revolvers and rifles Sheriff Hughes demanded the Negro surrender, but Johnson did not he'd him.
 Deploying about the cabin. th' mob opened q barragc on the farm CT. wLo fired back with two revolv- CTS. When the attackers ammuni' tion became scarce, the sheriff or Canized a detail of runners, whl worked in rel2 IS 10 bring fresh sup. plies from town.

SPORTS AGENTS
Lay Out Plans For
Soccer Teams

NEW YORK.-On Wednesday
evening, Sept. 10, delegates from
workers soccer clubs will convene
in order to work out plans for the
coming soccer season, for inter
league games, league open compe-
titions, national cup competitions,
and to lay down a clear working
class policy for struggle against the
boss controlled United States Foot
ball Association, soccer section of
the Amateur Athletic Union. The
National Executive Board of the
Labor Sports Union has issued a
statement on the occasion of the
conference, which reads in part, as
follows:
"At the previous meetings of the
Metropolitan Workers Socce
League, certain anti-working class
elements opposed the line of the
Labor Sports Union in soccer. They
voted for the resolution of the La
Dor Sports Union which calls for a
reorganization of the various
leagues, but they opposed the or
ganizational rules which flow from
the resolution and which will make
the teams members of the L. S. U.
and will place the leagues in a bet
ter position to successfully carry
on the struggle against bosses Soc
Ger. The N. E. B. points out that
these elements are agents of the
bosses in the ranks of the worker
soccer players, which agents are
trying to win the soccer players for
the U. S. F. A.
"The National Executive Board
of the Labor Sports Union warns
all worker soccer players and teams
against these anti-working class
elements in the soccer leagues who
are agents of the bosses in our
ranks and who parade under the
slogans of sports for sports sake,
no class struggle in sports ETC."

NEW SELL-OUTS
PLANNED BY UTW
Convention Opens Here
Today

NEW YORK.-That the treach-
erous leaders of the United Textile
workers of America plan to pre-
pare further betrayals of the tex
tile workers at the convention of
their organization which opens to-
day at the Great Northern Hotel,
in this city was brazenly admitted
in statement given the capitalist
press by the executive council after
closed three-day SESSION.
The statement was published in
yesterdays New York Times with
such gleeful headlines as "plan to
aid employers" The statement
practically pledges cooperation
with the bosses in the extension of
capitalist decentralization, which is
always at the expense of the work
ers. 1t boasts of continual traitor
Gus advice to the workers to respect
the bosses law "under any and all
circumstances" and frowns upon the
workers attempts to defend them
selves against the murderous at
tacks of the BOSSES police and
thugs.
In spite of its open willingness to
betray the workers and serve the
bosses, the executive committee
sorrowfully admitted that it has not
yet secured the full confidence of
the bosses; that, strangely, it is
still meeting with considerable op-
position from some employers.
The statement admits that the
industrial democracy" of the $50
cialist" takers has broken down in
the Danville mills, where group in
surance projects have been abol-
ished.
