Great Backfield Is Selected for World Fair Foot
 ball Contest

CHICAGO,-Tilat ideal back field" that Big Ten football fans were conjuring on paper last De- cember may yet evolve into an in- tegral unit driving down a grid iron.
 The tentative backfield lineup, Dick Hanley, Northwestern coach, has drawn for his Midwest All Stars" team to meet a Pacific coast galaxy as worlds fair fea- ture the night of August "A has:
 Michigan's Harry Newman as quarte,,back; Pug Rentner of old Northwestern, Gil Berry of Illinois and Marchy Schwartz of Notre Dome as halfbacks, and Roy L.. Horstman of Purdue and Jack Manders of Minnesota as fullbacks.
 This Sextette has. been mention ed before as one of the most choice groups of backfielders the midwest has produced in any two gridiron campaigns. All except Schwartz wound up college car cers just last fall and Marchy finished the year before.
 Jack Riley and Dal Maryil, Northwestern's giant tackle pair of 1881, are expected to be in the midwest lineup, probably opposed by the equally famous Southern California duo of Ernie. Smith and Tay Brown. Howard Harding Jones will coach the coas televen.

UNARMED NEGRO
SLAIN BY COPS
Innocent Missouri Man
Shot in the Back

SIKESTON, Mo.-"Shot while at
tempting to escape" was the reason
given for the brutal killing of Jack
Sutton, Negro, by Ira Suffit, local
deputy.
Suffit and Constable Brown Jewell
explained that Sutton resisted arrest
and attempted to escape when they
were about to lock him up on sus-
picion. They also claimed that they
thought he answered description
Of a fugitive wanted in Virginia.
Before he died, however, Sutton de-
MED the stories the cops told, and
charged that the police told his they
were going to arrest him and beat
him up. He then demanded to know
ON what charge he was being Jailed,
and declared that he was innocent of
any wrongdoing. This they refused,
whereupon the Negro sought to
break away from the cops While
fleeing, they shot him twice in the
back. After being shot, Sutton ran
about block and fell, mortally
wounded. He died next morning in a
local hospital.
When word of the wanton murder
reached the Negro section of Skies
ton, feeling ran high as little groups
gathered to voice their condemna-
ton Of the promiScuous shooting of
Negroes by 'the law"
Sutton is survived by mother
who lives in BlytheNlle, Ark, six
sisters, and one brother.

FARMERS START
A JAIL STRIKE
Demand Better Food
and Shorter Hours

DULUTH, May 12.-Seven Mark
ham farmers, who were serving sem
tences at the work farm for their ac-
tivities in the recent militant strike
of the Markham farmers, and four
workers from Eveleth, who are also
serving terms because Of their mill
tant activity in the interests of the
workers, have been removed from the
County work farm and placed in the
County Jail in Duluth.
The reason for this action is that
few days after they were put on the
work farm. they had succeeded in
organizing strike of some Of the
inmates. They state that they had to
work for long hours and in return
they got food that was practically
impossible to eat. The comrades put
up a demand for better food and
shorter working hours. When they
weren't given this, they organized a
walk-out which occurred last Thurs
day morning as work was started.
About twenty men joined the strike.
These IL leaders were Immediately
arrested and put into the "hole" on
bread and water diet. However,
the comrades went on hunger strike
and refused to even touch this bread
and water After two days, they were
removed to the jail. AT the jail
their conditions are much improved
and the officials are much more cour-
teous than before.

HELD IN ATLANTA
First Non-Segregated
Meet Ever in City

ATLANTA, Ga. (By maiD) For
the first time in the history of this
city a gathering of Negro and white
workers took place with absolutely
no segregation The affair, rnusi-
Gale in the Royal Theater, was given
by the Angelo Herndon branch of
the International Labor Defense.
More than 800 black and white work
ers and intellectuals crowded the
theater, which is in the heart OF the
Negro district.
Viola Montgomery, mother of one
of the Scottsboro boys urged the
audience to support the fight for
Angelo Herndon just as she was do
ing. "As mother I know what it
means to have son in jail on a
frame-up charge for doing nothing
wrong" she said. She pointed out how
the fight for the Scottsboro boys is
intimately connected with the fight
for the freedom of Angelo Herndon.
Geer, Taub Speak
John Geer, of the firm of Geer &
Davis, retained by the I. L. D. to
defend Eerndon, gave the facts in the
case. He was introduced by Allan
Taub, one Of the Scottsboro attorneys.
Taub received an ovation as he point
ed out how the I. L. d. through the
Scottsboro and Herndon cases we're
fighting militantly for the rights OF
the Negro in the South. He attacked
such misleaoers as Dubois, exposing
their treachery towards the Scots
boro boys
The program was opened by John
Carson, assisted by his son and
daughter Carson is famous white
Georgia mountain fiddler. One of his
numbers Cant Live ON Corn Bread
and Peas' tells the story of the chain

workers. Other numbers we're pres
