HOLIDAY FARMERS
PREVENT BIDS ON
FIVE FARM SALES
Chase Attorney of Federal
Land Bank Aut
of Town

BALSAM LAKE, Wis.-Sales of
1--WE farms which had been fore
closed upon by the Federal Land
Bank of st. Paul were forestalled
when about 200 Farm Holiday
members simply drove the attor-
ney OF the bank, R. J. Bundy, out
of town.
The crowd, with a large sprink-
ling of women, had gathered dur
ing the noon hour to protest the
sales. AS Attorney Bundy of Men
ominee, representing the Federal
Land Bank at these sales, left his
car and proceeded to- the front
door of the courthouse, he was
recognized by a group of the Holt
day members and forcibly led back
to his car and ordered to get out
of town at once.
The crowd gathered about the
car and in terms that could not
be misunderstood told the attorney
to "get out of town and to stay
out" After he got his car turned
around, some of the crowd follow
ed him to the Main Street entrance
with orders to leave. To make
sure that he got safely away, a
bunch got into another car and
followed him out of town.
No Bids. No Sales
When Sheriff James Olson read
the notice for the sale of five diff
ferent farms and called for bids
there were none. All sales were
postponed for the time being.
The farmers then had meeting
in the courthouse with the county
coroner acting as chairman. They
discussed the matter and the sug-
gestion was made to elect a Sec
ret service council to take care OF
foreclosures. Before this motion
was put, it was argued that the
membership working as a whole
would be far more effective. "Wha-
has happened here today proves
that" someone said. The motion
was voted down.
Al resolution was passed to de
mand from the Federal Land BanI
as well as from the local banks
and insurance companies to with
hold all farm foreclosures unit

A CALL FOR HELP

June 13, 1885
Editor Producers News,
Plentywood, Mont.
Dear Comrade Editor:
June 18th marked the opening
of a drive to raise a summer milk
fund for the children of our polit-
ical prisoners. There are today
$50 children whose fathers-vic-
tins of ruling class justice-are
serving sentences from one year
to life in the jails and peniten-
tiaries of the United States. These
children are practically the wards
of the Prisoners Relief Depart
ment of the LID. Relief agen-
cies slam their doors in the faces
of their mothers. In school they
are often branded as little jail
birds because their fathers dared
to fight for a decent life for them.
These children will not be able
to go away to camps for the sum-
mer. They will not even have ex-
cursions to the parks and beaches
that other workers. children have.
They will have to go without one
of the vital necessities of health
full childhood, unless those for
whom their fathers gave their
freedom, the American working
class, will come to their aid.
The political prisoners behind
the bars look to their comrades on
the outside for solidarity. The
kindest form that this solidarity
can take is assurance to these vic
Tins of the class war that their
children are provided forever a
little.
! Two hundred fifty children rang
/ ing in age from to about 16
look to you for help. Won't you
help us reach your thousands OF
readers with their appeal? AL
contributions-no matter how small
will be welcome by the Prison
ers Relief Department.
THEY GAVE THEIR FREE.
DOM-GIVE THEM YOUR SUP
PORT! THIS is NOT CHARITY
1T is SOLIDARITY!
Comradely yours,
The international Labor

HERNDON GRANTED
STAY OF EXECUTION

A stay of execution of the SEN
tence against Angelo Herndon,
young Negro Communits sentenced
to Is to 20 years on the Georgia
chain gang under an instruction
law of 1866, until the United
States supreme court passes on
the application for a re-hearing of
his appeal there, has been granted
by Justice Owen ]. Roberts.
The stay was granted on appli-
cation of Whitney North Seymour,
retained by the International La
Dor Defense to conduct the APP
peals in the Herndon case. Mr..
Seymour Tuesday filed application
for re-hearing of the appeal by
the United States supreme court.
The court on May 20 had refused
to consider the merits of the case,
on jurisdictional grounds, by a six
to three decision. Justices Benja-
min N. Cardozo, Louis Brandeis,
and Harlan Stone dissenting.
The present stay is effective I'M
til 10 days after disposition by
the court of the application for a
re-hearing. The court re-convenes
October 1.
simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the stay granted to
Herndon, the International Labor
Defense announced the immediate
launching of a nationwide cam
paign for two million signatures
to a petition, addressed to Cover
nor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia,
demanding the repeal of the slave
law under which Herndon was con-
victed, and under which 10 other
/ persons, Negro and white, are un-
der indictment awaiting trial. The
law provides the death penalty fo1
melting to Instruction" which
under the Interpretation of the
state supreme court in the Hern-
don case, means organizing white
and black workers together in any
form of organization, and can ev-
en- be applied to any trade union

be expected. To create sympathy
for his company, he made the
statement that the stockholders.
had received no dividends for the
last several years. But he had to
admit that the company had been
able to pay their taxes and big
salaries during the depression
without borrowing money. What
he failed to state was that the
company had been expanding right
along and used money for that
purpose instead of paying it out
in dividends.
What results will come of the
hearing can not be said at this
time. The grievances are now re-
corded and taken under advisement
by the service commission.
The boost made by the company
representative, that the company
had been given improved service,
was kind of made a joke the next
evening when the whole town was
in the dark and everybody was
hunting for the old kerosene lamp.

Dear Friend:
The execution of the sentence
which condemns me to serve for
Is to 20 years on the Georgia
chain gang, has been postponed
for a short time. Justice Roberts
of the U. S. Supreme Court has
been forced by the wave of indig-
nation my case has aroused, to
grant stay until the fall, when
the Supreme Court will consider
my application for a re-hearing.
In 1882, l was in Georgia as
organizer of the Unemployment
Council. The state was making
an attempt to force the jobless off
the relief rolls and back to the
farms. The readers of the Pro-
ducers News know as well as |
what this would mean. A living
was no more to be found on the
land than in the city, and this
was merely a ruse to force the job
less to starve out of sight of the
officials.
l organized one thousand of
these people to go before the COM
missioners and demand relief. Fol
this, and because l was a Negro
who advocated full equality fol

San Pedro Made Key
Point In War Plans

SAN PEDRO, Calif.-It is no
secret that San Pedro is a key
point in the war plans of the
Roosevelt-Wall Street lineup. The
evidence is at hand for any doubt
ers. New heavy military roads a
hundred feet wide are being COM
pleted in every part of the town.
Roads have been cut through to
the port, capable of supporting
heavy loads like tanks and NUM-
lions trucks.
With the return of the fleet next
month, San Pedro will take on the
appearance of a naval concentra-
ton port, with almost 135 ships of
war in the harbor.

NATIONAL GUARD
CAN Be SENT FROM
STATE TO STATE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Power
to move National Guard troops
from state to state for strike
breaking purposes is granted the
president through an amendment
to the National Defense Act in
troduced by Representative Nc
Swain 3D., S. CO.. A vigorous
fight by the house liberals to
squelch the anti-labor move was
defeated by 1873 to 112. Congress-
man Boileau prog, Wis.,, Zion
check 3D., Wash.) and MarcGntonio
(R., N. W all called attention to
the strikebreaking implications of
the proposal.
II am opposed to the use of any
branch of the military during a
labor struggle" Marcantonio de-
clared, pointing out that labor
trouble was clearly the "emergen-
cy" contemplated as giving the
president the right to move Ma
tional Guard officials from state
to state. He was thereupon at
tackled by Representative Faddis
3D., Pal for always defending
Communists.
Declaring that he was not inter-
ested in the politics of the strik-
ers. Marcantonio retorted with an
eloquent denunciation of raisers of
the 'red scare" in labor struggles.
"The cry of Communism is the old
war cry of strikebreakers. They
charge strikers with being Com
munists and under the guise of a
false patriotism they smash union
headquarters, send the strike lead
ers to Jail and force labor back to
work under intolerabIe conditions. /"

Wednesday, June 10; Thursday
June 20, and Saturday, June 22r

under the heaviest rains if prop
erly laid out. Mr.. MOnson will
give suggestions for building dams
which are laid out to last under
extreme conditions.
