10000 Lose Their
Farms in Closures
By Banks in Miss.
Poor Farmers, Negro,
White, Hardest Hit

JACKSON, Miss, April 5.-Almost
10000 farmers nthis state lost their
land and homes yesterday when 25
per cent of the privately owned land
went under the hammer for payment
of debts.
Foreclosures were made on $500
farms, or 1862 per cent of the agri-
cultural acreage of the state.
Mississippi is one of THE chief
Cotton-growing states, and one in
which the Negroes are ma majority.
The sale of farms for debt is part of
a process, which is rapidly gaining
momentum, Of appropriation of the
small farmers from their land. The
larger landowners are this way
Increasing their holdings by starving
out the smaller farmers, many of
the large owners in this section hay-
ing added thousands of acres to their
holdings in this manner.
Because of the low price of cotton,
the new owners do not as a rule con-
tinue it's cultivation, and this brings
with it the mass eviction of 1.-THE
tenants and troopers, who are turned
out to starve.

NEW YORK Father James H.
Cox, the Pittsburgh priest, who tried

VICTIM[ZING CLAUSE
OF IMPERIAL VALLEY PAROLE

The International Labor Defense
has placed a strong demand before
the state board Of terms and paroles
demanding a change in the victim
izing parole conditions in the cases
of Carl Sklar, Tsuji Horiuchi and
Eduardo Terrera, three of the six
Imperial Valley prisoners.
In deciding to deport Sklar the
board did so with the full knowledge
that he was a Russian citizen and
that in the absence of diplomatic
relations there is no possibility of de-
portation. Sklar is being held in Fol-
som prison and according to the bos-
ses law convict paroled for de-
portation can not be accepted by the
immigration officials until ready to
deport him. This means explained
the l. L. D. that Sklar is virtually
convicted to serve l8 months of his
parole in Folsom.
I'VE protest against your decision
to deport T. Horiuchi who faces death
in fascist Japan, Carl Sklar who faces
longer imprisonment in Folsom be-
cause of lack of diplomatic relations

firemen of the Mississippi alley Rail
roal, upon whom murderous attacks

Jamin, National Secretary of the
Committee of Unemployed Councils,
in a statement issued here last week.
Sharply denouncing the campaign
of terror against the Negro railway
workers of the South, Benjamin

the result of deliberate instigation
by white bosses and landlords, of
white workers who are among the
100000 suffering jobless and star
walton in the United States. Such
attacks upon Negro workers can only
result in the worsening Of the con-
ditions of all the workers.
I'VE appeal 10 the workers in the

viouS trick of the bosses. We call
upon Negro and white to join to-
gether in common struggle against
common Oppressors. Instead of
trying to take the bread out of the
mouths of soreIy oppressed Negroes
who still have some kind of job,
we urge all workers, Negro and
white, to tMn their attention to
the fight for unemployment in
surance and imemdiate relief. 1t
is an old and well-known trick of
the boss class to try TO divert the
anger of the workers at their mis-
cry by pitting one race against an
other.
