restrictions of the War Labor
Board. Ell
The novels aimed also at break
ing up any labor organization
among the fam workers and ten
ant-farmers. Oscar Johnston, own
er of the Souths largest planta-
ton in the Mississippi delta, de-
clared at one Of the hearings held
by wage boards whose members are
closely allied with the big planta-
ton interests: 1.-THE ceiling will
protect us against labor organiza-
tion.- Some of my foremen wanted
to break it { the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union) up by violence, but
/ said no.; knew that no organ
ization can be powerful unless we
grant the closed shop and check
off system. And that we will never
do.
"A labor organization fights for
higher wages, but workers will not
Join MONS when they know their
employers will go to Jail If he pays
them more than the ceiling. We
must have a ceiling if we are going
to break up the union"
BY intimidation and withholding
information as to what they were
voting for, the sharecroppers, who
were counted as producers though
they do their own picking, voted
22,193 to 313 for the ceiling in Mis-
sissippi. According to MIR. Mitchell,
such unanimity of opinion on
controversial issue may only be
compared with totalitarian plebis-
cites in Europe"
CHARGES COERCION
Citing incidents of undue and un-
democratic influence on the voting
sharecroppers IL the referendum,
Mr.. Mitchell said on several plan
tations in the Mississippi delta, Ne
gro sharecroppers were summoned
by the plantation owner on the date
of the referendum and told to vot-
for ceilings on cotton picking In
most cases, the workers had no
previous knowledge of the refer
endum and were not informed as
to the issues involved. On che of
the plantations, a few handbills ap-
peared the night before the voting,
after notice had been given and
date and time set, in which the is
sues were explained. The next day
the sharecroppers, afraid to vote
against what their plantation boss
wanted, want fishing and did not
vote at ALL
In Lincoln County, Ark, a group
of small farmers who were organ
lied and acquainted with the issues
waited throughout the day AMI no
one appeared from the wage boarc
to conduct the referendum. Their
votes would have been cast against
the ceilings.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
P. Anderson was asked by the
Southern Tenant Farmers union
last Monday to reject recommen-
dations for wage ceiling on cot
ton pickers made to him by wage
boards Of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Missouri.

Cotton Pi1kers
Forced To Vote
By Big Planters
Union Head Calls
Upon Agriculture
Sec'y To Mediate
BY HARRY McALPN

WASHINGTON. d. C. - ,NNPA)
Cotton plantation owners in the
South, looking forward to surplus
of farm labor returning with the
closing down of war industries and
the discharge of soldiers from the
armed services, are seeking to force
the Secretary of Agriculture to set
wage ceiling of So per 100 lbs. for
cotton picking, through an undem-
ocratic referendum conducted in
Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri,
according to H L. Mitchell, presi-
dent of the Southern Tenant Farm
ers Union.
Mr.. Mitchell was in Washington
last week to protest to the Depart
ment of Agriculture the virtual
peonage such a wage ceiling would
produce for some 100000 farm
workers, most Of whom are Ne
groeS.
CHARGES RESTRICTED VOTE
According to Mitchell, only pro-
ducers were eligible to vote in the
referendum. Cotton pickers whose
wages were to be set were not per-
mitted to participate in the voting
The referendum and hearings in
each state were conducted by wage
boards appointed by the Secretary
Of Agriculture under the little
known provision of the Wage Sta
bilization Act of 1912. No effort was
made by the big producers to use
the provisions of the Act during
the war when farm labor was
scarce; and wages rose to as high
as $3.50 day. This attempt is be-
