TOBACCO arriving
FOR OPENING SALE
Market Resumes Tomor.
row After Christmas
New Year Holidays

Tobacco was arriving on floors of
local warehouses today for the re-
sumption of sales tomorrow on the
Henderson market, and Indications
were that a good break would be in
evidence. The market is resuming
after having been inactive for five
weeks since the suspension Wednes-
day, December 16, for the Christmas
New York holiday period.
Durham and Oxford in the Middle
Belt with Henderson, and Winston
Salem, Danville, South Boston and
other Old Belt markets are also re-
Stunning tomorrow.
How long the markets will operate
until the season is ended was a mat
ter that depended on the volume of
leaf still to be sold. Between one and
two million pounds of the. weed are
expected to be sold in Henderson, and
the season is expected to run until
early in February.
Good prices for the leaf are looked
for at the outset. Up to the suspen-
sion for the holidays, the Henderson
market had sold just short of 10000
600 pounds of leaf.

probably 90 percent of the gathering
favored the compacts bill to CONTROL

DATA INCOMPLETE.
ON PENSIONS HERE
No Definite Figures ON How
Many Would Share Old
Age Payments

Little data of definite and speci-
fic nature was in the hands of county
welfare department today on the
number of individuals who will be
eligible for benefits under the old
age pension plan, Mrs. E. r. Austin,
welfare officer said, No actual survey
has been made of the precise number
of persons who may expect assistance
of this kind.
Some aged people who hope to
share in the distribution of funds
when that is begun have filed their
names with the welfare officials, but
Mrs. Austin understands that a thor
ough investigation will be required
before any persons will be listed A
meeting or two of aged citizens last
year drew signatures of persons hop
ing to become eligible, and these re
cords are on hand.
But no payments are expected t.
be made before each individual claim
is gone into thoroughly. Mrs. Austin
said She thought that no old person
would be given assistance who had
means of support And she thought
it much cheaper, too, for the county
to maintain homeless old persons in
the county home than for them to lce
paid $40 or $50 per month from any
source. The objective of the move
ment is to provide for actual need.
1t is thought that definite survey
OF the situation in the county may b
made for the official records when
the Social Security Boards set-up
/
flciently to permit procedure on thai
line But as yet that stage has nc
been reached, and in the meantime
there is no accurate data on which
10 base an estimate of the number Of
individuals in the county who would
benefit.

Mexicali Trouble
Blamed on TrOtsky

Continued From Page One)
Thursday demonstration took place,
certainly will be present for the
meeting, the dissenters were assur-
ed before they dispersed Thursday.
It is rumored that each man who
took part in the protest this week
is pledged to take at least one other
dissenter to the meeting Monday.
In the meantime, eight represen-
tatives of the farmers and the rep
reSentatiye of at least one foreign
association were speeding to Mexico
City to protest the activities of the
armed agrarians and the colonial
ton scheme. They were declared TO
seek assurance from the govern
ment that the farmers will be paid
for their land in the event of con-
fiScation and for their labor and
crops in any event.
Approximately 27,920 hectares of
land, most of which was obtained
from the Colorado River Land
company, are involved. Upon it
the establishment of "a commune
ties was approved by the govern
ment. These "ejidos", colonies or
communes, an authoritative source
explained, are supposed to be op-
Grated somewhat similar to a la
Dor community out of which the
farmers work the land for the
common benefit of all dWellers.
Persons possessing capital in
excess of $500 pesos are not eligi-
BILE to sign an agrarian contract.
The workers are supposed to
receive two pesos a day with the
money to be paid daily, the sums
to be charged against them and
paid out CT the proceeds from the
crops raised by the "ejido".
Finances for the agrarian colon
ization are provided by the Banco
Ejidal, a department of the gov
ernment, and not operating under
the national banking commission.
Branches of the Banco Ejidal are
scattered throughout the country.
While whole families sign the
agrarian contracts, only the heads
of families are qualified agrarians.
The present tense situation was
brought to a head March 26 when
armed agrarians stopped Mexican,
japanese and Chinese farmers
from working. The Mexicans were
released but the Chinese and ia
panese taken to Mexicali. The fol-
lowing day, authentic sources re-
vealed, agrarians started to plant
crops on the land from which they
had driven the Mexican, Chinese
and Japanese workers.
Labor representatives vigorously
protested before the agrarian COM
mission, claiming arbitrary sus-
pension or three months pay Stipu-
lated in the labor law because of
unjustified suspension. The en-
ployers will not pay the sum, it
was disclosed because the armed
agrarians suspended the work.
Land holders because of con-
tracts authorized by the president
for colonization are said to be
making energetic protest of the
scheme.
