Deering takes them in his car to the farm, where they are greeted by the sight of three Negro guards carrying shot- igantic Negro, tells them to go to the mess hall for dinner. Now read on: ’ INETEEN Negroes were at two and manure. A solemn-faced girl brought plates of black-eyed peas and chunks of pork, corn bread, tin spoons and tin cups filled with water. The faces at the tables were re- sentful, sullen. Sometimes they spoke, in low tones, as though fearful of their own voices. A Ne- gro facing David ate awkwardly with his left hand. The right was bandaged with a dirty rag. A city Negro who had never picked a boll before. He had been on his way to Memphis, buf he was work- ing for Deering -now.

Young, the Democrat, broadcast- ing from Cleveland. The statement by Mr. O'Brien, mayor-elect of New York, as to terror against “rioters”, Hoover's talk about “mob rule” in Washing- ton (referring to the driving of the veterans out of Washington by fire and sword), show clearly that the boss class is determined not only to starve the unemployed but merci- lessly to shoot them down. ‘The answer of the unemployed and the employed. workers, the greater majority of .whom are working part time, will be more intense struggle against starvation tion and the imminent world war against the Soviet Union.

Cane brakes in the distance marked the end of the cotton rows .The cans of water were placed beside a weighing ma- chine near which ‘wicker baskets were piled. Each Negro took a bag the cane brakes where a path sep- arated them from the cotton field. ‘The other patrolled the road from the clearing to the hway. The overseer rode the furrows, watch- ing the Negroes and returning to the clearing to weigh the full bas- kets when they were brought in. a en IMPY walked with David. “Some niggers try to run away if he kin, co’se hit’s hahd fo'm to run away.
