Seeks to Seize 1t

CAMP HILL, Ala, Dec. How
the A.A.A. and It's cotton acreage
reduction contract affects the small
famer and sha-ecropper was reveal
ed here today with the frame-up
Of John Brown, Negro sharecropper
on the land of General Pierson, at
Camp Hill
Brown entered into cotton
acreage reduction contract with the
A.A.A. Under the terms Of this con-
tract he raised only one bale Of cot
ton. When the A.A.A. made out the
check for the land that was not
planted, it was made out in the
name of Pierson. who kept it all.
In addition, Pierson demanded
Browns one bale as rent for the
land.
Brown refused to give up this
bale unless Pierson turned over to
him one-half Of the A.A.A. check.
For this "impudenoe" he was ar
rested and is now in the Spring Hill
Jail, pending trial in the Tsllapooss
County Court.
Browns courageous insistence on
his rights is in line with the tradi-
ton Of militancy associated with
Camp Hill sharecroppers. Camp Hill
was the scene in 1881 of a battle
between sharecroppers and klans-
men, in which Ralph Grey, organ
izer for the sharecroppers union,
was murdered. In spite Of this ter
ror today. the union numbers more
than 5000 members.

MOSCOW, Dec. 7 (By Wireless),
Under the news heading "Jap-

organ of the Communist Party Of
the Soviet Union, publishes the fol-
lowing telegram from Khabarovsk,
Siberia:
Hardin reports picture of in
creasingly closer manifest connec-
lions of the Japanese command with
the Hunhutze bands, while the Jap
anese do not even consider it neces-
sary to conceal their relations with
the Hunhutzes. The Japanese COM
mand of the Eastern Line Of the
Chinese Eastern Railway has arrived
at an understanding with the Hum
hutze band now operating in the dis
trict of Shitouhetze regarding the
1egalization' of this band
with the permission of the Jap
anese command the ringleaders Of
the band, named Sing Shung and
Wang Sheng, have taken up quar-
tiers in the house of the Commercial
Company at Shitouhetze, while over
$50 of the band are stationed with
the permission of the japanese in
the adjacent hills. The district au-
thorities of the japanese command
have forced the local population to
start cutting timber in the state
forest concessions, obliging the pop

band on funds obtained for timber
cutting.
This is not a single case, the Jap
anese command having concluded
similar agreements with the Hun
hutzes at number of other points,
openly directing their activities. In
particular the japanese officials
have started negotiations regarding
the 1egalization' of Hunhutze

Removal a Gesture

NR.A. removed IL manufacturers
from the 80 composing the Cotton
Garment Code Authority, who are
among the leaders in the fight
against the 36-hou- week. They are
the largest manufacturers in the
industry. But this is obviously a
gesture as plans have already been
considered for dividing the cotton
garment industry under the author

Joint Com m ittee to
Meet Monday to
Map Out Plans
lspeolaI % ths DaiIT workerl

READING, Pa, Dec. IA united
front between three unemployed
groups which collectively represent
the majority of the organized unem-
ployed here was effected yesterday
at an enthusiastic meeting held in
the City Hall Auditorium.
Three representatives each were
chosen from the Goodwill Citizens
League, the italian American In
dependent League and the Unem-
ployment Councils. Together they
will form joint grievance commit
tee which will submit all relief cases
to the relief board.
One representative from each
group will constitute a joint publ
city committee on all cases and in
all campaigns.
The full joint committe will meet
here Monday to map out plan of
action in the struggle for increased
relief, for work relief and trade union
rates, and the other demands Of the
jobless.
The Taxpayers Protective League
Socialist-controlled group, is the
only unemployed organization in the
city which has refused to join the
united front. However, the demand
of the membership of that group for
the united front is such that it is
expected here that they will even
tually force their leadership to enter
into united front negotiations.
In the meeting at which the exist
ing united front was effected, all of
the addresses by the representatives
stressed particularly the need Of
struggle to bring about improved re-
lief conditions.

the Chartists because the young
British proletariat could not decide
on the idea of the overthrow of the
power of the capitalists. Even in the
advanced part of the British work
ing class a struggle took place be-
tween the supporters of revolution
and the supporters of the idea of a
peaceful victory.
THE French proletariat was de-
feated in 1848 because they went to
the barricades divided into groups
not united by the will of single
leading force, not able to secure the
support of the peasants. In 1871
when the Partisan proletariat rose
in revolt, they we're not supported
by the workers and peasants of
France.
From 1918 to 1923 the bourgeoisie
of Europe defeated by turns one
revolutionary detachment after an
other, utilizing the help of the lead
ers of the Second international, who
by trickery kept the majority of the
proletarians from the struggle.
"In no capitalist country except
Russia did the proletariat unite for
the struggle against the bourgeoisie,
form one Party capable of working
out a plan of struggle and of en-
surfing it's fullfilment. The enemy
knew this and fixed their hopes in
this.
But in Russia, Lenin had formed
such Party and thanks to this,
there is no longer tzarist Russia but
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies. a great organization of toilers
led by the Communist Party, by the
unprecedented history of a Party
which brought about the allegiance
of the workers and peasants, which
has continued the leadership of the
factory proletariat with iron dis
cipline, which constructed scientific
plan of liberation of the toilers, a
Party which put at the service of
the proletariat all science, from the
science of socialism to the science
of aeronautics. This Party teaches
the peasants to work by modern
methods, with the help of tractors
and chemistry, and teaches them to
be solidly with the workers.
Workers Follow Party
This Party teaches the workers to
rise in thought to the heights OF
science and simultaneously to stand
firmly and immovably in fighting
ranks and to struggle shoulder to
shoulder, voluntarily submitting to
its accepted iron discipline. This
Party is a steel bond for millions OF
the foremost workers, carrying with
them tens of millions to joint labor
and struggle.
This Party. educated by Lenin
created the Kirovs, who travelled
the entire path from its little circles
to the great workers state. This
Party will hand over the experience
of the Kirovs to new millions oil
young workers and collective farm
ers. When these millions march be-
hind the coffin of the dead leader
