non-violence policy on the part Of
the union.
Rodgers himself soon had cause
TO regret his wards.
Arrested on a charge Of anarchy
and melting to riot, he was con-
victed and sentenced to six months.
His appeal is pending.
Last but not least is Lucian Koch,
27-year-old president of Common
wealth College, a cooperative in
stitution at Mena, Ark.
Small of stature, but with a
square jaw and curly hair, Koch
speaks in a low voice. The union
agitator usually takes with him a
student or two from his college
when he goes about speaking.
1t was on one of these occasions
while addressing a meeting of whites
and blacks at a Negro church, that
he was seized by four white men
taken out and beaten.
One of his students, Who followed
him out to see what was going on
was also beaten.

all of the violence has been on the
other side.
This general policy of non
violence on the part of the union
has not gone unnoticed, however
on the part of the planters them
selves.
One of these, Vernon Paul, speak
ing at Parkin, Ark, paid a personal
tribute to the motives of both Rod
gers and Koch.
A big planter himself, owning
more than 1000 acres, he said that
there would be no persecution OF
eviction of sharecroppers on his
property for mere membership ir
the union.
He appealed to the union not tC
try to lump all the planters together
for the mistakes and unfairness OF
the few. He made a personal plea
for cooperation.
When he finished speaking, he
offered his hand to Koch. But the
union leader refused to shake hands
This is the feeling which the out
side agitator has brought to the
! Southern Tenant Farmers Unior
and which is fast closing the door
to cooperation between the factions
Next: What is the government
doing about the sharecrOpping, and
what may he the result of its efforts?
