Fight Union of Negro and White Sharecroppers Little Rock, Ark., Feb., 5— Organized 18 months ago to safeguard tenants' rights under the now defunct AAA, the Southern Tenant Farmer’s Un ion is causing grave concern to white planters throughout thus state because for the first time they are seeing poor white and Negro sharecroppers unit ed to improve their economic lot. So serious is the concern of rich planters that evictions, beatings, summary trials and other repressive measures are used against th's union. It has evoked an interest which prev ious governmental investiga tions on the Sharecroppers'i plight failed to arouse. liand owncrs, realizing its potential j strength, envision it as an agency wfhieh may cause “up-j risings” and “rueial strife.” Organizers of the union have patiently fostered the doctrine that a common battle must be waged by white and Negro labor to improve the economic status of both and that both arc in the same fnancial boat. Members arc told to forget their prejudice and work to gether in harmony. And fori the first time this policy is be-! ing felt on a large scale in, Dixie, although previously there, have been soluted in-, stances of unions of skilled, trades in urban centers. ' In three counties where the union is strongest with a mem-, bership of fi,0(X) divided almost equally between the races, both groups arc working together inj extreme friendship in their common fight aguinst what 1hey consider unfair practices by landowners. This organiza-, tion was allowed to get a foot hold because planters took the position at first that it was one of those fly-by-11'ght moves that wouldn’t last. Now, how ever, they break up meetings and frankly declare they wilI not have union members on their plantations. in uru»-r 10 ruruuui me union, a WackJ'st has hoeu prepared and issued secretly to planters. Union membership is sufficient ground for eviction and and tenants evicted for that cause find' it almost impossible to get placed at another. A wholesale eviction which took place recently near Earle has caused union officials to appeal to Washington for a probe and Gov. Fulrell has al ready sent state investigators to the scene. The trouble was caused by the wholesale evic tion of almost UX) persons, half of them women and child ren, from the 540 acre farm of C. IT. Dibble. The tenants were driven out by deputy sheriffs mid left on a snowy road with their possessions pil ed beskk* them. The union got five tents, aided the women in getting to homes of friends in a nearby town and established an eviction camp still maintained by the men. At a meeting near Earle held later, deputies drove both the Negro and white audience away and ran a Nashville socialist scheduled to speak there out of town. Two Negroes were shot and slightly wounded. Pour others were sentenced by a justice of the peace to one year terms for rioting and another wias held to the grand jury charged with assault with in* tent to kill. When Dibble was questioned as to the eviction and his atti tude toward the union, he gave an answer typical of the Dixie planter. “A Negro is just like a saddle horse," he said. “It’s only good business to take care of him, but he’s a dependent, Boston Medic Back Home November.

And the union sure made the Negroes around tny place worthless.” Evicted' tenants declared they were ready to stand by the un ion until the end. Negroes make much of the fact that whites arc working with and sticking by them. In other places, secret meetings are held-in lonely cab ins. The organization is being perfected and is growing stronger week by week despite attempts to break it up which seem actually to foster its growth. It has set the entire South thinking ebout a problem existing here since the Civil War. This union of two races is considered everywhere as amounting to a social phenom enon south of the Mason and Dixon line. Dr. Dibble To Suc ceed Colonel Ward Will Head Famous Veteran’s Hospital Washington, Feb. 6 (ANP)—Dr. Eugene H. Dibble is to be the new manager of the United States Vet erans’ Facility located at Tuske gee, Alabama, officials of the Vet erans Administration announced here Thursday. The 43-year-old physician succeeds the veteran Col. Joseph H. Ward, who has been dismissed from the service under a cloud this week, after heading the hospital since July 1924. Dr. Dibble is at present the medical director of the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital, located at Tusk egee Institute, a position which he has held since 1924. He at one time served at the VeteranS’ hospi tal as chief of the surgical section. Dr. Dibble has built up an en viable reputation as a hospital ex ecutive at Tuskegee. To him is given the credit for the develop ment of the annual John A. An drew clinic which has grown to be one of the most important medic al organizations in the country. Physicians from every section of the country make pilgrimages to Tuskegee each spring to attend the demonstrations of the clinical association of which he is the sec retary-treasurer. Dr. Dibble is married, his wife being the for mer Helen Taylor, daughter of Dr. R. R. Taylor, for many years, vice principal of Tuskegee Instiute. They have four children. The new hospital manager is a graduate of Atlanta universiy, of the Class of 1916, and of the How ard Medical School, 1919. He came to Washington Monday at the in vitation of General Hines, Veter ans’ Administrator and was of fered the post. In the city at the same time on orders from the bur eau, was Colonel Ward, deposed chieftain, as well as the chief guard and the chief dietician of the Institution, both of whom were dismissed on charges of malfeas ance, as were four other subordi nates. Whatever fears which might have existed that the cloud creat ed by the dismissal of the eight in a change of race insofar as the leadership of the institution was concerned, were allayed by Dr. Dibble’s pronjpt appointment. It is understood that Veterans’ Ad ministration Officials had assur ed Dr. R. R. Moton and President F. D Patterson of Tuskegee Insti tute, that the personel would re main colored Dr. Dibble assumed his new post February 1st. Fake Fingerprint* Fingerprints of different people, as we know, are uever the same. Hut It Is possible for a crook to Imitate a genuine fingerprint so that the suspicion of the police can be diverted, says I'earsou's Weekly. How this can be done has been shown by Dr. Harold ('iinimlns of the Tulaue university of medicine, Chicago. Taking an original gen uine fingerprint, he had It engraved, and made a three dimensional nega tive lu wax. Then ho took a cast In gelatin from the negative and stuck the gelntin on a dummy finger, j Twelve of the 32 prints he made ‘ with the dummy Unger were de dared by fingerprint experts to be genuine. Though tills proportion Is not very grout, the United States authorities believe it is snlfident to allow criminals many opportunities to put the police on false trails.
