a sense of the power they have.
They discovered, too, those that
did not already know, that the cap
italist is not on their side. They
could read for themselves and un-
derstand the attacks made by the
Journal" of Lincoln and the
Omaha World-Herald." It is a
new thing for the farmers to be
attacked by the "Red-scare" pro-
gram, a thing that city workers
have long been accustomed to.

BY INSURANCE CO.'S
IN GEORGIA AGREED

The Georgia Real Estate Loan
Association, an organization Of 10
of the largest life insurance COM
panies doing business in the State,
has declared a moratorium ON the
farm mortgages except where the
property has been abandoned. The
companies agreeing to the mora
forum hold about IS per cent of
the farm mortgages. These will
be renewed if the farmer agrees
to remain on the property.
This step was taken In order to
prevent the development of Sears
and Roebuck sales in Georgia,
such as have taken place in other
parts of the country.

this sum, or a part of it he pur-

500 UNEMPLOYED ALSO
MARCH

On the second day of the Con-
ference 1000 farmers came in to
join the march on the capitol. The
farmers had passed in their con-
ference resolutions of solidarity
with the city wsrkers and, when
they formed their ranks to march
to the capitol, 500 unemployed
workers Of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil joined up and paraded arm in
arm with the farmers thru main
streets of Lincoln. Their banners
along with the farmers banners
were all taken into the capitol
and placed before the speakers

mands were being read.
The House and Senate met in

LYMARCH 4
TO WIN RELIEF
Demand Unemployment
Insurance for Jobless
Workers

Under the leadership of the IN
employed Councils, workers all
over the country will demonstrate
on March A for unemployment and
social insurance.
Already workers have won sub
stantial gains in their struggles
to force relief. In Chicago they
forced authorities to withdraw the
so per cent relief cut. In st.
Louis, $4,000 families that had
been put eff the relief list were
reinstated. The national and the
state hunger marches have also
compelled authorities to make
more and more concessions to the
unemployed.
NATIONWIDE STRUGGLE
However, hunger grows and the
struggle deepens. The Unem,
ployed Councils call for the unity
of the workers to make March
a success. Huge demonstration;
are expected In every city in the
country to demand immediate fed
eral relief an unemployment in.

READY TO FIGHT

Christensen said that he knew
any man that was a man would
gladly die fighting rather than go
passively to the poor house and
starvation. Again he stated "This
is a peaceful revolution. If this
does not work, all those standing
in our way will be held respon-
sible."
Farmers came to the Conference
to draw up fighting program
against evictions, for a morator-
ium ON debts, against the profits
of middlemen, and for certain def
mite demands like the abolition of
the state militia and its funds to
be used for public schools. With
almost no success the lobbyists
and enemies attempted to confuse
the farmers with every kind of
fake bill from initiation to compli-
Gated refinancing. Not only were
their bills rejected but the creden-
tials of those who had slipped by
the gate were challenged, and they
were elected by vote of the farm
erS.

ILLINOIS GOV. ASKS
FARMERS BE QUIET
Real Relief on Debts VIII
Come Only Thru
Cancellation

In order to avert the sharp
struggles that the farmers in the
various parts of the country have
put up against foreclosures and
evictions from spreading to I'LL
nois, Governor Horner, on Feb. A,
issued a statement asking the
mortgage holders to be 'lenient."
He asked the mortgage holders
to use "the utmost forbearance in
foreclosures on mortgages on the
farms, homes and chattels when
the farmer or home owner is in
such desperate financial circum-
stances that he is actually unable
to pay"
AVOIDS REAL ACTION
The governor used this means to
avoid taking real action which
would prevent foreclosures and
evictions, which he said neither he
nor the legislature could do be-
cause it would impair or invali-
date contracts"
The governor wants to make the
farmers believe that conditions are
going to get better.
'This is proposed as tempo
rary relief only and until con-
ditions change for the better"
the governor said.
What the farmers want is not
temporary relief but permanent
relief. Only cancellation of debts
which the impoverished farmers
owe will give them some measure
of real relief.

many of whom were entirely sym
pathetic. And no one would have
dared to heckle that determined
army of farmers and workers.
Christensen, Lux and others spoke
from the bottom steps. Lux
reached the high point when he
declared that, regardless of the ac-
ton taken by the legislators, the
farmers would continue their ac-
tive policy of keeping the produc-
ers on the land. "No bunch OF
over fed international bankers is
big enough, strong enough to whiI
u.s." he said.
