SHAREHOLDERS RULED
INELIGIBLE FOR VETERANS
gEADJU5TMENT ALLOWANCES

ATLANTA, Oct. 5 (ANP-Ac-
cording to decision by the Veter-
ms Administration, "sharecrop-
)ers" are employed but not self
employed and are not eligible for
eeadjustment allowances, Ben T.
Huiet, commissioner of the Georg-
ia Department Of Labor, revealed
ere.
Hu;et stated that in the first ap-
cal of its type, a veteran of World
Var II, who was a sharecropper
ending 10 acres of land in Missis-
3ippi, was denied benefits by the
|eteran's Administration and that
.le decision may have a far-reach-
ing effect on veterans self-em-
oloyed claims filed by sharecrop-
pers in the various states.
The administrator, in making his
decision, held that in order to be
eligible for self-employment allow
ances, a veteran must be fully en-
gagged in self-employment in an in
dependent establishment, trade,
business or other vocation during
the month for which he claims al
lowances.
In the case of the Mississippi vet
eran it was shown that he was
merely tending the land while the
landlord furnished the land, all the
stock and tools. The landlord also
kept the stock and it was fed by
aim. The veteran did furnish half
he fertilizer which was charged

against the account at settlement

against the account at settlement
time.
From the point of authority it
was also shown that the landlord
told the veteran what to do and if
he refused to carry out instructions
he could be forced to get off the
farm. The landlord also was to sell
the cotton when it was gathered and
i've the veteran his part Of the re-
ceipts and the corn was to be di-
vided.
In citing the difference between
one independently engaged and a
laborer, the administrator declared: {:
THE self-employed has an estate in
The land for a term and consequent
ly he has a right of property in the
crop. If he pays a share of the crop
for rent, it is he that divides off
to the landlord his share and until
such division, right of property and
of possession in the whole is his"
The administrator continued,
"the laborer has no estate in the
land. That remains in the landlord.
Consequently, though he has, in
some sense, the possession Of the
crop it is only the possession of the
servant and is in law that of the
landlord. The landlord must diz id
off to him his share of the crop for
his labor"
Based upon the direction and
control exercised by the landlord
over the Mississippi veteran and
the crop, the veteran was consid-
cred ineligible to receive any allow
ance. The decision is expected to
affect thousands of Negroes who
went to serve their nation in the
armed forces.

Five thousand fans sWarmed
over the Starmount Forest Country

ing Nelson and Revolta. Lord
Byron rewarded them with a near
perfect round. He missed two
green's, abe third where a tricky
wind quit suddenly causing him 10
overshoot, and IS where he pulled
drive into the woods and had to
use short iron. He had 1our
brides in a row, starting with
nine, canning puts of 1920, eight
