The District Attorney was staring
at Melee. "Am in on this, Mac?'' he
demanded sourly.
Melee smiled. The old man and
the girl were dynamiting fish in the

negro pickers were reported to
have been fired upon and 1000
persons were estimated out on
strike, a United Press survey Of
the northeast Arkansas cotton
pickers' strike indicated last
night.
While planters and county Of

sy had reached major proportions,
leaders of the Southern Tenant
Farmers union, which called the
strike Tuesday, asserted the walk
out was spreading.
Reports from Poinsett county,
Arkansas, said three-fourths of
that county's pickers failed to go
to the fields today.
In Cross county, officials ar
rested ten persons, who, accord
ing to peace officers, were dis
tributing pamphlets urging the
strike. No charge has been filed
against those held.
Reports of violence in Gross
county were denied by Sheriff c..
NJ. Stacy, but others insisted that
persons, presumable strikers, had
fired upon negro workers.
