PEASANTS BATTLE
POLICE IN CROATIA

Zagrek, Jugoslavia, June H.
Mass fights of peasants with the
police have taken place in the vi
cinity of the Croatian town of
Bjelovar. In ore village a police
man, who was especially hated by
the peasants, was killed by un
known persons.
When the mounted police came
to the village to arrest the guilty
persons the peasants refused to
give them amy information. The
police then arrested a number of
peasants as suspects" locked
them in a cellar and opened the
water drains. The peasants had
to remain two days in the flooded
cellar.
After their release the peasants
demonstrated against the Serbian
fascist dictatorship, against King
Alexander the Bloody, and against
the enslavement of the Croatian
people. Several peasants, among
them three deputies of the former
Raditch party, were arrested.

eggs 9 to IL cents. This does not
pay the cost of the feed, much less
the housing and care.
Now from 1920 to 1928 land sold
for $500 an acre. The taxes went
up from SO to Sill an acre and are
still up. The hay raised on this land
sold last year from SO to So ton.

plus a decent standard of iv-
ing.
2. Stopping of foreclosures
and sheriff sale; against seiz-
ures of crops, cattle or imp
lements for debts.
8. A moratorium on mort
cages, rents and debts of all
farmers for the period of the
crisis.
Many other important demands
will be raised at the conference.

FROM DAWN TIL DARK
Many of the farmers are plant
ing more corn and other grain
than before as the hay is going
to be very scarce in many places.
Some farmers ship most of their
stock even though they have no
market for them now. The vege-
tables haven't been worth enough
to raise for the market the last
few years. After the farmer works

man by the name of Hensel, a real
estate racketeer who calls himself
a business promoter. He holds for
speculation purposes about 1000
acres of stump land on the old

Hensel has thought up a scheme
to enrich himself at the expense

PEACE AND PLENTY
Hensel went before an unem-

said that he was in a position to
take number of unemployed sam
lilies and place them on small
farms where peace, plenty and in
dependence in a land of perpetual
sunshine, which he himself named
Fertile Acres" awaited them.
King county authorities endorsed
the plan, of course. They were
glad to get rid of some of the
unemployed at that time. The ur-
employed, being in dire poverty,
were easily duped. They came to
the promised land with nothing,
and now, after 10 months of hard
labor, have less. Many of them

packed with thousands of bales of
cotton from last years crop. The
high price that will be realized
from this will serve only to lower
the pdices of this years crop when
after much toll and privation, the
farmers bring it in. AS result
many of them will face prolonged
peonage to the landlord, and the
others will lose their homes en-
tirely through the inability to pay
off the Indebtedness incurred in
the effort to finance the planting
of this years crop. Starvation
will be intensified thru the expos
ure which they must endure be-
caus they will be unable to pay the
high price for cotton material with
which they clothe themselves thru
out the cold Texas winter.
AS another result of President
Roosevelt's act, suffering among
the unemployed in the cities will
be increased. In the South, many
poor families go to the cotton
patch in the summer and fall iV-
ing through an entire winter on
their earnings. This year the re-
lief commissioners are fOrcibly
sending families to the cotton
patch, making them pick for what
they can get. This brings down
the wage for regular pickers.
The fact that cotton acreage is
being reduced eliminates thou
sands from work. With the rise
in pdices, those who were on the
relief rolls will need help again
because they will have been unable
to save anything. And those who
were depending On the cotton
patch and possibly fair wages
will have to apply for help. But
