College was furnishing important
leadership to the struggles of the
sharecroppers, the planters set out
to destroy the school and draw
attention from themselves.
The college, upon whose advis-
DRY board we find such names as
Oscar Ameringer, Roger Baldwin.
Alexander Meikleiohn, John Bosch
and others, was investigated" by
the state legislature. Fearing that
the investigation would rot show
that Commonwealth was operating
outside the law, the Gooch bill was
introduced to make the law fit the
situation. Students and teachers
had been active lately organizing
sharecroppers, unemployed and
miners, and that is reason enough
for the planters to kill it.
/ Arkansas wants to be the ex-
perimental New Deal state. The
legislators are moving fully in the
line of the New Deal by attacking
every form of organization and
education that is meant to help
the farmers and workers win bet
ter conditions. If they can get
away with it in Arkansas, similar
attacks will materialize every
where in the country.
Help Needed
The workers and farmers Of
Arkansas are already fighting the
bill and all fascist efforts of the
planters and their yes-men legis-
lators. They have developed a
broad united front in their fight
10 maintain their civil rights, to
keep free speech and save the
right to organize. Officials of the
State Federation Of Labor, lead
ing editor Of the state and a num-
Der of educators have Joined with
Commonwealth in fighting the bill
They cannot do it alone. They
are calling for help from all PARTS
Of the country, because this means
fight for the whole working class
and farmers Of America. They are
calling for an extension of this
united front to every part of tho
; United States.
Protests Will Help
Protests must be gotten to the
state legislature as soon as posi-.
BILE, addressed to the president Of
the Arkansas senate. Unless pro.
, tests are rushed, Commonwealth
College may be closed down by the
planters, and such a closing down
would mean q signal for gen.
eral attack on workers schools al
over.
If Lincoln were alive and would
speak his following famous words
"This country, with its institutions

their revolutionary right to dis.
member or overthrow it," in Ar

WASHINGTON.-Production Of
eggs on Feb. was the smallest

on Feb. 1, 1884, and the number
Of eggs laid per hen was 10 per
cent less. January is farm prices
of poultry feed averaged $1.61 per
100 pounds, compared with "a cents
in 1884 and with At cents in 1888
Stocks of frozen eggs in the
United States or Feb. / were G
per cent greater than a year ago
but holdings of shell eggs were
insignificant" says the bureau
Frozen poultry in cold storage to-
tailed 122,265,OOO pounds compared
with 120,177000 pounds last year
Receipts of eggs at primary
markets in the middle west during
the week ended Feb. Is were AZ
per cent less than in the CORE

Testimony Tends to Cor roborate Charges of
 Personal Assaults

Indication that the Government would rest it's case late this after noon or early tomorrow against the 25 defendants facing trial in Fed eral Court on charges of rioting was given after the noon recess as but a few witnesses for the prosecution remained to be questioned. Today was the 11th day of the trial which so far has been confined entirely to the presentation of the Govern ment's case. It is anticipated the defense will take nearly as long in giving it's side of the trouble.
 Reputed gun talk again featured the trial this afternoon as two wit nesses testified to hearing talks at union meetings prior to June "A, the day of the street disorder, in which time guns were mentioned. Lester Sullivan, who explained that he attended the union meetings for some time and had signed an ap- plication to become a member of the Alaska Mine Workers Union, testi- fled that at one of the meetings, within week of the June "A trouble, he heard both Al Nygren, President of the union, and Mel Heard, it's Secretary, speak One of these men, he didn't know which one, said that the city were naming large num- Der of special officers and that a box with a slot in it would be placed in the Union Hall and it was ex- pected the clubs which the special officials would carry should be plac- ed in the box as they would make nice souvenirs. The other man, either Nygren or Heard, he said, asked the men assembled in the Union Hall how many had guns and how many would use them. The witness said about a third of the hands were raised in answer to the question.
 Nelson Positive
 John T. Nelson, anoLner witness, was more positive in his identifica- ton. He said he was member of the union, had worked for the A. J. for 10 years and knew both Nygren and Heard. He quoted Heard as addressing a union meeting the night of June g and stating: Boys, the city is swearing in 500 special police. I am putting a box with a slot in the top of it right here dn- dicating near him) and I want 600 guns put in it tomorrow"
