DADEVILLE, Ala.-The trial Of the
Tallapoosa sharecroppers is having a
tremendous effect on the farmers in
the courtroom. The LID. attorney,
the defendants, the wives of the muir
dered share choppers, Mrs. James and
Mrs. Bentley, tell the story of the
bitter struggles of the troopers for
bread, for the right to live, against
the ever increasing burden Of debts. >"
The deeds Of the Iowa farmers, in
desperate struggle in the North, are
brought forward and inspire the lis
teners. The prosecution has spoken
much about leaflets. The defense at
torney demands that these leaflets
Of the union be read. The judge
glanceS over them hastily and refuses
For there stands the demands for
which the troopers have fought: For
the right Of the cropper to sell his
own cotton. No forced pooling of cot
ton. Cancellation OF debts. No evic-
lions of troopers from the land. No
confiscation Of live stock. A min
imum price Of ten cents per pound
for cotton. Free bus transportation to
and from school for the Negro chi
dren.
These demands are at the heart of
the struggles Of the troopers. They
mean life or death to every share
oropper, every tenant, every poor
farmer, white or black, in the court
room or cut of it. No wonder Judge
Bowling refuses to have the demands
read, A white cropper turns to his
neighbor and says; Those boys have
the right ideal That's what we've
got to do too Organize against the
rich" Another white farmer says:
Yesterday they came after my neigh
boris stock. Tomorrow they are TAX

sheriffs and deputies on the wit

CHICKEN FOR NEEDY
TO AID TWO CAUSES
Thanksgiving, Christmas Dinners
for Relief Roll Families
Farm Surplus Help.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Thanksgiving and Christmas chicken
dinners for the 100000 families on re-
lief rolls may help solve another farm
surplus problem.
Government farm experts are con-
sidering recommending purchase OF the
chickens by the Federal Relief Admin
istration as a price lifting move.
If carried out, farm officials estimate
the 100000 chicken dinners would
take around 10000 900 pounds Of dressed
poultry off a market where September
storage reached the big figure of Al
100000 pounds, as compared to 3O.-
100000 for the same month last year
and a fve-year average OF 4l,14l,ooo
pounds.
If a fowl averaging pounds was
served to the families on relief rolls on
Thanksgiving and Christmas day,
around 3O.OOO,OOO pounds of chicken
would be taken off the market.
officials said chicken at present
prices was about as cheap as pork when
nutritive value is considered.
The Relief Administration and the
Farm Administration are cooperating
in a program through which farm sur
pluses are being purchased with Gov
ernment funds and distributed to the
needy
In addition, a plan for the purchase
of 100000 cases of eggs for dlstrlbu-
ton to the destitute has been drawn
at the Farm administration Tor presen-
tation to the relief organization.
Experts said the distribution OF l.
600 900 cases, or $50 10000 eggs. prob
ahly would cause an increase IN price
which would bring considerably more
to the farmers than the approximately
IS 900 900 it would take t. buy the eggs.

Fletcher DEFENDS
new SECURITIES ACT
Holds Law Should Strengthen
Federal Regulation of Stock
Issues.

By the Associated Press.
Any new securities legislation should,
in the opinion of Senator Fletcher,
Democrat. of Florida, strengthen rather
than weaken existing Federal regulation
of stock issues.
The chairman of the Senate Banking
Committee added that he sees no pres
ent need for modifying the securi-
ties act.
There is lots of criticism and propa-
ganda against the securities act
Fletcher explained to reporters today,
but I don't see any suggestion that
will improve it"
The Banking Committee chairman,
who was instrumental in putting the
law through Congress, said the contro-
versial clause providing for liability of
directors. which has drawn criticism
from many quarters, was based on the
British companies act.
They have found it worked all right" 4"
he commented. There is complaint
from the bankers that the law pre-
vents necessary financing, but the ap-
plicationS for issues now on file are
equal to the issues of last year or the
year before. All that talk about nobody
financing industry is rot"
Fletcher said he did not believe there
would be any general banking legisla-
ton at the next session.
