and their state and county author
tiles, aided by the treacherous
Negro reforrnist leaders of Tuske-
gee Institute.
Local writers say that outstand-
ing in the struggle is the unity OF
White share troopers and small
farmers who see that the fight
put up by the Negro farmers is
their fight too. The Birmingham
Post which at first tried to raise
the hue and cry of Grace riot"
had to completely reverse its po-
sition in the face of incontrovert-
able facts.
The following excerpt from the
paper shows that it had to admit
that the cause of the trouble was
economic, not racial:
''The resistance of the Ne
grOes at ReeltOwh (NOtasulga)
against Officers seeking to at
tach their livestock bears a
close parallel to battles fought
i'm Iowa and Wisconsin between
farmers and sheriff's deputies
seeking to serve eviction papers.
! A good many White farmers,
ground down by the same re-
Ientless economic pressure from
! which the Negroes were suffer
ing, expressed sympathy with
the Negroes desperate fight"

the great mass of the land workers
very quickly realized the necessity
of organizing themselves into de-
fensive unions in order to improve
their conditions of living and work.
Such a union was the "Federefer-
ra," an organization based on the
class struggle and which in the
year 1920 had 100000 members.
Italian socialism found its first
main support among the land
workers.
After the seizure of power by
the fascists, all the gains the land
workers had won in struggle ex-
tending over 80 years were lost
one after another. The fascists
commenced by destroying the land
workers cooperative societies and
compelling the defence unions to
dissolve, after all their premises
had been burned down. In order
to achieve this end the fascists had
to carry out an armed struggle as
the land workers sought to defend
their achievements with their lives.
The land workers were defeated
because they were not equipped,
either materially or politically, for
this acutest form of the class
struggle. After the last resist
ance had been crushed the fascists
compelled the land workers to join
the fascist trade unions. Only
those who held the membership
card of the fascist trade unions
were able to obtain work.
The fascists declare that there
are now a million land workers
who belong to their trade unions.
From what we have already said,
however, it is perfectly obvious
that such figures are devoid of
value.
BRANCH OFFICES OF POLICE
Under the fascist regime the
employment bureau functions not
as an organ for defending the in
terests Of the workers but as an
organ for suppressing the masses.
The land workers describe the fas-
clst employment bureaus as branch
offices Of the police. The man.
ayers of these bureaus are fascist
agents who give out jobs accord
ing TO personal preference or out
of political considerations.
Just as the fascists retained the
trade unions and the employment
bureaus but robbed them of their
class content and transformed
them in a reactionary sense, So
also they maintained the system
of collective agreements and ex
tended it by a law TO the whole
of Italy. The collective agree.
lments are concluded not as a re

The fascists admit that from
1919 to the first half of 1881 the
real wages of the land workers
declined by AZ per cent, and that
in the first half Of 1881 the real
wages were 1918 points below the
1914 level.
Il should be further pointed ont
that the fascist figures are not in
accordance with the actual facts.
The wages of the land workers
are somwehat lower. Let us con-

In pretty good shape but tired
after our long trip, the eight
Washington delegate to the Farm
ers National Relief Conference ar
rived in Seattle on the 80.
Most of us left for home the
same day we arrived. Some of US
hitch-hiked, and some took freight
because Seattle was as far as the
truck went. We are going to rest
up for a few days and then we are
going to work harder than we
ever did before to organize the
farmers around the program and
demands of the Conference.

Washington delegation to the con-
ference and back home again. Al
though the place where they were
cutting this wood was muddy and
wet they were all in good spirits
They realized how necessary the
conference was and were willing
to work for it. They had raised all
they could by collections and by
holding meetings - so they did
the next best thing-cut wood.

Now that we are home agar

to stay on our farms and force the

League Calls for Release of Negroes

The United Farmers League calls upon its mem
bers and all farmers to demand the immediate re
lease of the tenants and sharecroppers arrested in
connection with the struggle at the farm of Clifford
James at Notasolga, where half dozen
dered outright others seriously wounded and a
dozen or more Negro leaders of the Sharecroppers
Union were arrested and thrown into JAIL where
they are hourly in danger of lynching
The attack on the Negro farmers resulting in
murder and arrest and the hunting and terrorizing
of the Negro tenants and share troopers oyer the
countryside grew out of the process of Selling and
selling the cow horse, few farm implements and the
furniture of Clifford James on attachment for
sale, for the payment of so-called debt incurred in
the growing of cotton by this sharecropper.
Refuses to Starve
James refused to turn over his meager farming
outfit and retreat to the woods His neighbors rail-
lied to James he and in splendid solidarity they re-
sisted the attachment and forced sale just they
should and had right to do and as the farmers of
the northwest in the same situation their south
ern brother farmers are doing in order to live
The bankers and landlords of Alabama who used
the police of the county to murder and terrorize the
Negro farmers in the process of putting the burden
of the farm crisis the backs of the impoverished
black and white cotton choppers, exactly the
same class OF men VINO are taxing the same action
against the farmers of the northwest and every
where else in the nation for that matter as the farm
ers resistance to foreclosures and forced sales be-
come more determined and wide spread
Every Farmers Fight
The fight of the sharecroppers is the fight of
every impoverished farmer white or black in this
nation.
The white farmers alone cannot win the right
to live, nor the black alone. The farmers can
win only as they fight shoulder to shoulder in COM
plete solidarity and in solidarity with all the work
in industry.
Therefore, the United Farmers League calls
upon all its members, calls upon all farmers, orga-
nized and unorganized, to rally to the support of
the black and white farmers of Alabama by every
means possible and to organize themselves more
solidiy into the militant United Farmers League in
order to struggle effectively against foreclos-
ures and eviction everywhere and let us especially
rally all our forces to the aid of our southern
brother farmers
Wire protests to the Governor B. NJ. Miller at
Montgomery, Alabama, and Sheriff Kyle Young of
Tallapoosa county.
Write letters and resolutions to your congress-
men and senators demanding complete investioa-
ton OF this murderous attack upon the share cron
pers of Alabama. Send copies to the Producers
News.
