Missoula, Mont, July 10.-While

Every time we go for help the
commissioner is about half drunk"

know why they don't raise some

There is just one trouble about
raising anything out there. They
haven't been able to pay the water

and haven't any water.
The sheriff went out the other
day and served notice on about e
farmers that they had to pay the

APPROPRIATION TO
FIGHT HOPPERS Is
REFUSED OUTRIGHT

The House and Senate have re-
fused any appropriation for the
fighting of the grasshopper plague
in the northwestern states. Only
July 6 the Senate sent the Depart
ment of Agriculture supply bill to
Hoover after it had been agreed
on at a House-Senate conference
committee. The committee elimi-
mated the appropriation for
the grasshopper plague. While
Dawes could get, or handed out TO
himself, $S0,OOO,OOO from the gov
eminent in order to save his Chi
cago bank, the Hoover Wall Street
government refuses any emergency
relief to the farmers whose crops
are being eaten away by the hop
pers.

when you look into it.
Carl and Dolly
There is Carl Peterson, with his
wife on the payroll for eight years,
preaching economy stuff. Does
anybody think for a minute that
Carl would fire her if you elect
him again? Why of course he
wouldn't. If it wasn't for the
Mormon law, we believe he would
rather marry two or three more
and put them all on the payroll,
so he could be sure of a good nest

ST. LOUIS FARMERS
CONTINUE STRUGGLE
WIN VICTORY In
EUELLEE CASE
Framed Negro Worker Gets
New Trial Thru Fight
Led by |. L. D.

The Maryland Court of APP
peals has reversed the sentence of
death passed on Fuel Lee ("Or-
phan JonesO, by Judge T. Scott
Offutt on January %, the Inter
national Labor Defense was in
formed by telegram today, and a
new trial has been ordered for
him. This is the same Orphan
Jones whom the NAACP represen
tative announced, before the trial.
was probably guilty" This is
the same Orphan Jones whose life
was saved in the face of a lynch
mob by Bernard AIDES and Helen
Mayes, representatives of the In
ternational Labor Defense, at the
time of his arrst.
Victory for International
Labor Defense
The granting of this new trial
is another notable victory for the
international Labor Defense and
another notable victory for the
power of mass pressure. Just as
mass pressure three times secured
a stay of execution for the Scots
boro boys, whose appeal is TO be
heard next October, and just as
mass pressure in dozens of other
cases has proved the power of the
workers when modified in defense
of their own comrades, so this vic
tory again demonstrates value OF
mass protest.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
GRANTED this retrial after their ad,
journment last week. Of "a ap.
ipeals they heard, they passed OF
90 of them before adjourning. Al
shown by their statements to Taul
the boss judges did not want tt
pass on this case. Deputy attor
lney general Willis R. Jones sale
TO Taub, who represented the In.
ternational Labor Defense, awe
don't want to have another Sacco
Vanzeth case, we want to have
this thing over with in May, anC
have no further time taken VI
with it." But the demands of thu
workers were too widespread ant
insistent to be so easily disregard
ed.
Demand Negroes Serve on Jury
The significance of the Fuel LIE
case lies in the fact that from tn
very first the LID lawyers hav
demanded that Negroes be per
mitted to serve on the jury. TIL
records of the case show this de
; mand, and they also show that tn
: judges admitted discriminate,
against Negro jurors. Judge
Frank l. Duncan, who was one o
the judges in the case, aclnow
: lodged that for 26 years which h
), had been a Judge he had never
e selected a Negro on jury.
It At the new trial which has bee
|. granted the issue of Negroes o
e juries in southern courts will
: raised so loud that its reverbers
o ton will be heard around ii
world.
