Declaring that the first payment on
the governments corn-hog reduction
plan will total more than million
dollars in Redwood county, Nate H.
Bovee, county agent, explained the
program at the Lions club luncheon
Monday.
He stressed the point that farmers
are paid on rs per cent of their usual
production instead of on the other 25
per cent as has been rumored and ex-
planned how the various programs
are tied together to prevent men who
fail to cooperate from taking advan-
tage of the neighbor who takes part.

WINTER MAY NOT
SHUT OFF FLOW
OF LOAN FUNDS

Winter weather will not mean shut
ting off the flow of Land Bank funds
to borrowers if everybody who has a
share in the work puts his hand to
it, land bank officials in st. Paul say.
Applications are still coming in at
the rate of $50 to 800 day and so
far appraisal reports are being re-
ceived in excess Of new applications
but it is realized that appraisal work
in the field is due for slackening or
shut down for a time.
Enough approved loans are gin the
mill' to keep the money flowing to
borrowers for several months, even
at the phenomenal rate of Is million
per month, as made for December,
bank authorities say.
It was pointed out this week that
the latest figures show 45,89O appli-
cations proved but not closed, y
which means that the land bank has
done its work, and that the next move
is up to somebody csc. Compare
these 1880 borrowers with the more
than $4,000 who actually got their
loans in 1888 and the 70 million dol
lars still waiting to be distributed
with the "a million these farmers got,
and the basis of the bank officials
hopes for continued flow of funds is
obvious.
The reason why less than one
third of the approvals has reached
farmers hands is chiefly three-fold:
Leading all the other causes is the
fact that $4,000 creditors are still I'M
decided as to whether to cut down the
applicants debts to where the banks
and commissioners funds can be
made to cover their needs. The bank
takes no part in scaling down nego-
tiations.
Eighty-four hundred farmers have
as yet not sent in their acceptance of
the loans proffered, which is pointed
out as another principal cause of de-
lay. Another hindrance is the fact
that IA, ZOO farmers have not sent in
their abstracts after their applica-
tions have been approved. The bank
can not close loans without abstracts.

Stopping here for a short time this
from these recent struggles where
Secretary Of the Communist Party,
who is to speak here June 18th,
described briefly some of the impor-
tant lessons which are to be derived
from the recent acute sharpening of
the class war in the light of the i'm
pending steel strike.
In an interview, Browder, who is
on his way to speak to the workers
Of Toledo and Minneapolis, stated
that the most important lesson
which the working class will draw
from these recent struggles wehere-
in striking workers are shot down to
enforce the line Of the Roosevelt
Green auto settlement as model
for all industrial disputes, is "the
final exposure Of the reality behind
the N. r. A. and its Section 7-A"
Highly important too, he said, is
the fact that the militant rank and
file workers are surging into battle
over the heads of the traitorous A.

The circumstances surrounding

aroused the greatest indignation
among Negro and white workers of
Brownsville. Bay, alarmed by the
violent intrusion of two strange
men, had demanded they identify
themselves or get out. The dicks
became abusive and Bay started
for window to call for help. One
of the dicks then pulled his gun
and shot him twice in the back.
Bays wife and family have ap-
pealed to the International Labor
Defense to start action in the
case. They report that leaders of
the Moorish Temple, to which Bav
belongs, have collected over $500
for his defense without taking anv
action whatever to expose the out

defense for him. Mrs. Bay reports

Roosevelt Drought
Aid Plan Will Help
The Rich Farmers

WASHINGTON, June 6. - The
Federal government will be called
on to spend s525 100000 for
drought relief, President Roosevelt
stated today. The money will go
mostly for the purchasing Of cattle
in drought areas which will be
slaughtered and canned, and for
providing Jobs for impoverished
farmers at 80 cents an hour.
Since the only farmers having
ssleahle cows are the wealthy ones.
this means that most of the re
lief" will go to them. Smaller
farmers have their herds mort
gagged. Together with their fam
lies, they number among the VIC
tins Of the drought 100000 per-
sons who have lost practically
everything, crops ana cattle, in the
soaring drought.
Relief Administrator Hopkins
declared today he had no inten-
tion of establishing a large public
works program at niserably low
wage rates" But, under his work
program, he said, the farmers will
be paid 30 cents an hour mini
mum.
Despite warnings from agricuI-
tural experts, Roosevelt today ex-
pressed assurance that there is no
danger Of a famine. He admitted
however, that the drought has
reached disaster proportions.
The Presidents optimism is re-
fiected in the glee OF grain and
cattle spectators. who have resped
an enormous profit when the
prices, due to destruction caused
by the drought, rose sky high.

Those closest to the Committee of
Ten offer this explanation of their
hehavior-they are trying to get
publicity, to deny a split between
Tighe and the A. A. rank and file,
in order to increase their prestige.
The fact Is, however, the split be-
tween Tighe and the membership
of the A. A. is known throughout
the country-the only question is
where the Committee of Ten, who
were elected by the convention pre-
cisely to protect them from Tighe,
stands now.
1t is said by those close to the
Committee of Ten that they actu-
ally never held meeting of the
full committee since the conven-
ton. 1t is also said that some of
them did meet with Tighe, however,
and that when he told them that
they we're only "a standing commit
tee elected to serve during the con-
vention." they accepted this.
Members of the Committee of
Ten said they had no plans"

THE victory Of the Deans Is not to
be taken, therefore, as a sign
that the baseball autocracy is weak.
ening 1t is the most perfectly or.
ganized industry-for the benefit Of
the bosses-in the civilized world.
The toilers in its vineyards NAV bs
sold down the river or driven out
Of the pale without the slightest
ado, at the behest of a magnate.
Mr.. Dizzy and his brother may have
struck the villains a blow: but what
horrible spectacle would result
we're one of the slaves. a being
without fame, to take a stubborn
stand with principle and q demand
for more money. He would be
kicked out so fast that the 10th
Century Limited would pause to
wonder.
Such an experience nearly over
took Mr.. Wesley Terrell two weeks
ago, when he categorically stated
that he wouldn't dirty his hands
with q glove and ball for any,
body for only $1,000. Mr.. Terrell
would now be Illuminating over his
sins in some scmber den If the
Red Sox hadn't bought him away
from the jungles of Cleveland.
THE only enterprise ~that ever
caused the lofty brows of the
baseball magnates to sweat a little
was the Federal League. which
Harry F, Sinclair, the oil monster.
enbellished with his millions, The
Federal League waved some fancy
checks and contracts into the air
for all to see and the players began
to succumb. Prayers went un to
heaven from the pious magnates of
the American and National Leagues
and threats came down on the
heads Of the runaways and waver-
ers. Eventually, however, as is al
ways the case when solid men OF
sense are involved, the Oil monster
was bought out and business went
on as usual at the old stands.
But the Federal League would
have benefited the ball players little,
The shsckles would soon have been
drawing tighter and tighter. A
Babe Ruth would have found life
easy in 1t but a Babe Ruth finds
life easy in any league. The bali
players should take a lesson from
the common worker A players or
gsnization would have the bosses
by the tell. What the heroes need
is a good industrial union.
