UFL LOCAL SENDSFOREST CAMPS TO

WARM SPRINGS, Ga.-Ad-
dressing 179 unemployed young
fellows who are members of a CT
william Conservation Corps camp
near here, President Roosevelt said
that he would ask Congress for the
funds to continue the CCC camps
next year. "You are doing a great
good" he told the workers.
More than 100000 men are now
in the forest camps. Roosevelt's
decision to continue them next
year means that he sees mass I'M
employment continuing. Although
the cost of the camps is terrific,
estimated as high as 100000, 900,
they serve the purpose of training
the unemployed to be good soldiers
at cheap wages of 81 a day, less
than the regular army wage. At
the same time officers of the army
are employed at the camps full
time at their regular salaries. Gen
eral Macarthur has suggested that
reserve officers be put in charge
of the camps to practice command
ing troops for the next war.

MORATORIUM LAW
IN TEXAS COURTS
Legislation Would Give no
Relief to Mortgaged
Farmers

AUSTIN, Texas.-The Roosevelt
promises to call a halt to foreclos-
ures and evictions have not been
kept I'M Texas, and thousands of
Texas farmers are facing expos
ure and starvation this winter.
A moratorium act, passed by the
state legislature and now before
the state supreme court to have its
constitutionality passed upon, Of
fers no relief to the majority of
small and middle farmers, even if
the court should go against the
wishes of the bankers and uphold
the act.
The moratorium act, like the
Iowa and Nebraska moratorium
laws, gives the power to decide
whether or not the foreclosure
shall go through entirely in the
hands of the courts. In addition,
the law, translated into simple
language, says:
"The farmer shall consent to
the appointment by the court of a
"disinterested" party who will col
lect all rents and revenues from
the mortgaged property and apply
them to paying off the mortgage
Urder this law, the mortgageC
farmer gets no moratorium at all
He will continue to starve while
working for the other fellow.
The supreme court will pass OF
the law on Dec. IL.

TERROR GROWINCI
AGAINST u. T. |. In
BELTRAMI COUNTY
Militant Farmer Jailed for
Taking Flour for
Family
By a Farmer Correspondent

BEMIDJI, Minn.-The terror is
growing worse in this county.
Earl Knutson, a member of the
United Farmers League who has
wife and five children, was living
On relief because he couldn't get
any work. He could not pay his
rent, and Anderson, who owns the
house, had him work his rent out,
Anderson only paid him a dollar
day and Knutson wanted more.
Anderson sued Knutson for $25.
The jury disagreed and Anderson
dropped the case.
Sam Keeney, mayor of Black
duck, who is also the relief agent,
took it up. Anderson and Keeney
are both Legion men. So the
mayor took a dozen legionaires
and went down to see Knutson and
tried to get him to come out Of
the house. Knutson had a shot
gun and stayed by the gum in the
house. Failing to get Knutson out
the Mayor told him that he could
not get any more relief.
After a while, Knutson and his
family had not a thing in the
house to eat. Knutson went to the
Federal Relief Station and asked
for flour. They wouldn't give him
any. So he told them he would
take it and he did. He took two
40 lb. sacks of relief flour to save
the lives of his family.
The mayor had him arrested. Al
the trial the mayor was asked fol
the reason of cutting Knutson of
relief. His answer was, orders
from the American Legion o.
Blackjack. The judge, Thayer c
Bailey of Bemidji, boastfully pro
claimed that he too belonged K
the American Legion and sentenced
Knutson to 80 days in Jail.

Money in Savings Banks
Since 1882

NEW YORK.-The amount OF
savings deposited In banks and

on that date of the previous year.
The decrease was 11.8 per cent
Compared with June, 1890, the de-
cline is 24.8 per cent.
$24 Per Capita Cut in Year
"The loss of market, cessation
of industry, slowing down Of
transportation, banking difficulties
and unemployment of many people
have in three years reduced the
savings of each inhabitant in the
United States from 1922 to sl7O,
or by $62 a person." said W. E.
Abby, deputy manager of the
American Bankers Assn. During
the last year alone the reduction
amounted to S24 per inhabitant

next state witness. He told diff
ferent story today than at the
first Scottsboro trial. Today Ros-
seau said he first saw the girls
sitting in front of the railroad sta
ton.
Leibowitz read from the first
Scottsboro trial record how Ros-
seay said then that he first saw
the girls in the back end of the
car.
Luther Morris, the next state
witness, a farmer living near the
railroad tracks at Stevenson, a
man hard of seeing and hearing
testified he was lying on the floor
of the barn. AS the freight passed
the window. he claims he got a
glance of white boys being chased
off by Negroes and girls being
pulled back by Negroes.
Morris objected, when cross
examined. to pictures of views of
his barn shown bv Leibowitz.
"You could a-got a better view
of my lard by taking the picture
from another angle"
When pressed to identify the pic
ture for the record he said
angrily, "I don't understand pic
lures. l know only what 1 saw
from the barn window"
"Look at the pictures" Leibowitz
insisted.
Morris took out his spectacles to
look at the pictures.
"Are YOU near sighted or far
sighted" Leibowitz flung at him,

witness returned.
Upon further questioning Morris
admitted he began wearing glasses
after the alleged attack occurred.

you couldn't see well?"

Supervisors Wants Farmers

discovered" there were families
here that needed relief. He esti-
mated about ten or eleven families.
They decided that $4,000 was
available for relief in the town
ships in the southwest corner of
the county.
But there was a little hitch in
the program. A few farmers in
the township had in the last years
been so unlucky as to be sick and
in need of the doctor and hospital
care. They had no cash, so the
township and county had to pay
and the farmers owed that money
yet. The supervisors decided that
at least part of the money the
farmers carried on this relief
should be applied on the doctor and
hospital bills. But when this
scheme was told to the fellows, one
of them had the courage to tell
the board that if he went out to
work, he would need every cent
that he made for his family. He
reminded the board that this. is no
time to pay any debts. When the
other farmers backed him up, the
board gave up the idea as a bad
one.

There was no answer. After a
long silence, Callahan ordered

questions.

closely. and if Victoria's face
showed cuts and bruises, answered
'no."
Last night Victoria told with en-
bellishments how her forehead was
bleeding from blows struck bv
Patterson with a gun.
Leibowitz also brought out that
Hill did not see the Scottsboro
bows jump off the freight thourh
the train was going slow and that
he did not testify though he was
available at the first Scottsboro
trial. The impression produced i
that the bows had nothing To fear
as the train drew in. Hill was
dug up by the prosecution at the
last minute to bolster the case.

Victoria Price resumed the
stand, admitting under shrewd
cross-examination that she and
Orville Gilley had a long confer
