lords of Tallapoosa county to de-
stroy the Sharecroppers Union"
Sympathy Among Whites
Schwab said that at the opening
of the trial There was evidence OF
hostility in the courtroom, but as
the trial progressed, it was obvious
that the poor white farmers present
in the court room were impressed by
the case of the defendants and by
the fight being waged in their be-
half by the International Labor De-
tense.
when ] spoke to the troopers
after the trial, all five expressed
confidence and faith in the LID.
Ned Cobb said, I still love the move
ment and even though 1 am in Jail,
I am still with the fight
Struggle Brings Concessions
In travelling through the county
learned that conditions are much
better since the Reeltown battle, and
that there had been let-up on
seizure of stock and foreclosures.
1.-THE highways around Dadeville
were blocked all day by armed depu-
ties and thugs, driving the Negroes
back from the highways as they ap-
preached the town. Despite this, the
Negro troopers waded across creeks,
fixed up RATS in order to cross larg-
err bodies of water. In other cases,
they waited until the deputies left
and then marched into Dadeville.
During the trial I spoke to the wife
Of one Of the sharecroppers. She told
me the story of her 15-year-old son.
He like the others was stopped OUT
side of Dadeville, but succeeded in
getting in through the swamps,"
% Negroes Testify
Rivaling the heroism Of the Ne
groes who came to testify in the
Scottsboro case, % Negro witnesses
took the stand in the Tsllapoosa
trial, the LID. lawyer said. Several
of these testified on the motion of
the defense to dismiss the indictment
on the ground that Negroes are sys-
tefnatically excluded from jury SER
vice.
After the case was submitted to
the jury and while the jury was out,
Schwab told the Daily Worker 'sev-
eral white farmers came over and
expressed sympathy for the defend
ants. Others. more cautious, showed
their interest by asking whether
there was a chance of the jury
turning them loose"
Fail to Terrofize
Far from terrorizing the Negro
choppers and city workers, the YER
diet against the Tallapoosa defend
ants has only made them more de-
termined to fight, Schwab declared.
He told of "the new spirit which is
developing. as shown in the May l
demonstration in Birmingham where
Negro workers fought with police
who we're trying to arrest Jane
Speed, a Southern white woman"
The only thing that can save the
Tallapoosa troopers is a nation wide
protest, the LID. lawyer concluded.
These protests should be sent to Gov
ernor B. M. Miller, Montgomery, Ala.

Then the defense lawyers go after
him TO bring out the fact that since
April LIST he has been attempting to
make the men get out, stating all
the funds were cut off, etc, but the
men were persistent in staying.
At this point. the judge shows his
knowledge OF the case by sustaining
objections With machine gun rapidity
for the prosecution. he wants to keep
out of the evidence that a well-plan-
ned eviction drive is on against all
workers.
Keeps No Books
Page apparently ran the institution
by trusting in heavenly powers He
said there was no financial statement
on the mission though lack Of funds
was his excuse in trying to Gust the
sesmen.
With his usual "piety" he identifies

doesn't find it necessary to dismiss

The district attorney interrupted
and the Judge sustains every objec-
ton, saving Hsight from having to
account to the searnen for the admin

name.
''No Clubs-Just Axes"
The trial keeps on. The police Of
ficer gives his highly eolored account
OF how they broke into the mission.
They carried no clubs! They swung

Arrayed against the LID lawyer
were five prosecution counsel, headed
by the klu kluxer and ex-U. S. Sen
ator, Tom Heflin of Alabama.
Ali but one of the five defendants
were given maximum sentences by
Judge Bowling, Schwab reported,
The purpose of this was to prevent
them from getting bond, for under

CHICAGO, October 26-One man was

in mail hold-up here last December,
100000 Of $126,000 taken in a robbery
of the liner Leviathan in New York
Harbor last year and 100000 of $3.50
900 loot seized in a Sacramento, Calf,
robbery last February 9.
Furthermore, the agent said, the Gov
ernment men working on the case had

Farmers Purse Fattens.
rom the Oakland Tribune.

From the Oakland Tribune.
In spite Of the protests of farmers In
certain sections that legislation In their
favor is not working fast enough to
satisfy, and in spite of-or perhaps be-
cause of-storms and unfavorable
weather conditions, the American farmer
is coming into the market with a fatter
purse than he has had for some time.
Storms, it Is being asserted, have cur
tailed the crop even more than the arti-
fetal measures.
The farmers will receive for their
1888 crop something like $500 900 900.
and the indemnities to pay for crop cur
tailments are estimated at $3.50, 900 900
more. The total is $6,36O 900 900. as
against $5,145, 900, 900 for 1882. which
means close to s1,250,000, 900 more
money in the farmers hands this wear
than last,
AS commentator at WASHINGTON sees
1t, the farmer will have the money TO
lay In some OF the things he was unable
10 puy last year, and this money will
20 !nto increased wages wherever the
national Recovery Administration has
peen successful in increasing the wages
OF the workers.
That is the cycle which the Govern
ment is seeking to build up, and for the
farmer to be able to make SO Substantial
contribution as $l,215 900 900 in ex-
cess OF last year, is expected to make
a considerable impression. The in
creased wages paid to industrial workers
Will be spent, too, so in the aggregate a
