Bishop James Cannon, jr., of the

to the Associated Press:
'"First, the adjournment of the

Idle Negroes
Stirred Up by
Chicago 'Reds'
Communist Propagandists Show
Greatest Action Since Form
ing 13 Years Ago
the
Chicago Preaching the Com
munism doctrine in the Negro areas
of Chicago is causing disquiet among
law and order agencies here. The
great amount of Negro unemploy
ment has given Communist orators a
cue and they are pressing it without
restraint .
Chicago has not seen such a dis
play of Communistic effort since the
Communist Party was itself formed
here 1 2 or 13 years ago. For a time
thereafter Chicago served as national
headquarters for the party, but it
found this city such a poor field that
it moved to New York.
Negro distress has now encour
aged Communists t start a cam
paign which is reminiscent of the
I. W. W. propaganda which brought
that group into conflict with the
Government during the war. Vio
lence and forcible overt hrow of the
Government are being urged by va
rious Communist speakers.
Three of the Communist staff
here are reported to have come from
Russia titter a course of training at
Moscow. They are part of a group
of 15 said to have been instructed
there in Communist theory and
tactics and ""dispatched to different
sections of the United States.
All of the 15 are Negroes. A num
ber of them are not Americans, it is
saiil. but natives of other countries,
and hence open to rteportation.
Whites are also active in the Com
munist appeal to the Negroes.
Effort to halt the dissemination of
Communist doctrine and the making
ot inflammatory speecnea in a parK
on the edge of the Negro district
wrs recently blocked by Injunction.
Some effective check should be
placed on oratorial incitement to
violence, it is held in various quar
ters. The Negroes are not naturally a
good field for Communist enterprise.
But many are without resources and
are listening to suggestions thai i'
they need food they can go and take
it. while other are being harangued
not to pay their rent, even if they
i can. It has hi en agreed that before
evictions take place foi failure to
pay rent the case will be investigated
by the United Charities.

Austin. Tex. Governor Sterling
kept east Texas oil wells closed with
troops Tuesday night, apparently
bavins blocked the issuance of a
new state railroad commission pro
bation order for the field by bis dis
approval of its provisions. The com
mision set about redrafting the or
der. Sterling said the proposed order
would "put the little fellow out of
business because be hasn't the money
like the big operator to drill more
wells." The original draft provided
for an allowable production of 2:25
barrels per well a day and rejected
the acreage basis advocated strongly
by the central probation advisory
committee at the commission's pre
liminary hearing last week. It was
estimated production under the or
der would be 340,000 barrels daily,
compared with the recent output of
800.000 barrels or more a day.
Sterling said he had notified Bri
gadier General Wolters. martial law
commander, to keep all wells closed
until he received further Instruc

Pinchot Hits
at Farm Board
and High Tariff
Pennsylvania Governor Sees Mis
souri Farmers as "Orphans
of Politics"
Sedalia,
the federal
and costly
Pita-hot of
Mo., Sept. 1. Assailing
farm board as "that huge
lemon," Governor Gilford
Pennsylvania said in an
address here today that the "wel
fare of America depends upon jus
tice to the American farmer justice
as the farmer himself understands
justice and ni t some alleged pan
acea devised by men who neither
know his problems nor comprehend
his point of view."
Addressing the annual convention
of the Missouri Farmers' association.
Governor Pinchot urged the farm in
dustry "be placed on a basis of econ
omic equality with other industries."
He said the farmer, "for years the
orphan Of American politics, should
be taken into the family and have
a voice as to what type of relief
should be attempted."
The present tariff, he charged, is
detrimental to the farmer. He said
he believes in the equalization fee.
and thinks the debenture plan "un
questionably has its merits."
Hits Rates Increise.
The Pennsylvania governor, dis
cussed as a possible candidate for
the republican presidential nomina
tion next year, criticized the raW
roads for seeking to increase freight
rates at a time when the farmer "al
ready is overburdened."
"Better methods of distribution
could give the farmer a larger share
of the consumer's dollar without cost
ing the consumer a single additional
cent, he said. Part of the cost of dis
tribution is for freight."
"Better Prices Needed."
"Years ago, when the farmer ask
ed for economic justice he was giv .
more credit. He needs credit now to
help him cany this year's crop. Hut.
in general, what the farmer needs
today is not more credit to go more
Into debt, but better prices the bet
ter to get out of debt."
Governor Pinchot urged the farmer
and city laborer to stand together,
but added he was not "talking about
political control, and I do not refer
to a third party. On the contrary I
am talking economic control for the
greatest good of the greatest num
ber, which is the object of all gov
ernment." The problem of farm relief, he-1
said, has been dealt with in con
gress, not as the farmer wanted it
handled, but as "the city men de
cide it must be handled.
Speaking of the proposal to re
duce acreage and prevent crop sur
pluses, he said:
"I am not saying that it should
not be done. But I point out that
it is easier said than done, and that
it has its disadvantages." World
Herald. A relieved farmer, as we get it, is
one who finally consoles himself with
the thought, "Oh, well, the farm
board can't put me in jail."
