He talks slow, looking at the | stove, his lips shut over his tobacco. | It shore is hell, and I guess they not gonna let us out till we makes our Way out by ourselves.” His language is soft, the edges otf the words are rolled easy like, but his meaning is hard and clear. I have come to speak to him about the Sharecroppers’ Union. “It’s a spreadin’ like wildfire,” he tells me. “Every black man in our county is for it, even if some’s scared to say so. They’s just waitin’ their time.” Carloads of armed deputies are, at the moment we sit here in this small room, patrolling the roads about his cabin and that of his son and his son-in-law. The three are side-by-side of this on their two | hundre~ acre plot in the heart of | the Alabama Black Belt. Jim has come to Birmingham to get aid and advice, and to get word to workers outside the rded coun- ty. Neither mail nor © legrams can get out, These methods are con- trolled the big landowners and the sheriff. Jim travelled through the woods at night and caught a freight train on the fly. * HAVE come to see him, also at night.

He is silent for a moment, and his eyes half close. He looks away from me at the dark corner, He holds a cigaret awkwardly, puffs at it gingerly, fi- nally puts it out and returns to his tobacco, BOUCHT LA> YEARS AGO He tells me of how he bought and years ago, paying off with crop after crop of cotton, his sons werking and his wife and daugh- ters.

Now they're trying to take his land away, “But my family ain't gon» be put out onto the road,” he tells me. He’s emphatic. No forced collection of rents or debts is one of the main slogans of the Union. “I told the ol’ lady I'd go down fore I'd do it,” he says. He refused to sign away his deed, so ths * swies, several carloads of them, swooped down upor his place and took his n + and his plows. I >~>sn’t home at the time. “I wasn't theah.

At least, if I go down, my children gotta have my land to work. “T'm countin’ on you to keep my place safe,” he told them, “cause you know that if they make out hheah they gonna put all of us out the way they do in this country." | “Do you expect to go back in there right away?” I ask him, He is staying out so that they can’t force him to sign any notes nor to give up his deeds to the land. “I cain’t go back like Chris! says, “You know Christ don’ fight with no gun—but I ain't quite that good.” + face breaks into a broad smile as he says this and I feel good and happy to be here with comrades like these. “I'll stand up TOILERS PROTEST TERROR IN PERU NEW YORK—Firm in their de- termination to present their demands to the Peruvian Consul despite the police and detective guard in and around the Consulate, a delegation of representatives from workers organ- izations and the Anti-Imperialist League secured admission and placed a vigorous protest against the terror used against the revolutionary work- ing class in Peru. Surrounded by the police, the spokesmen told the consul the reason for the delegation’s presence and de- manded that the consul should im- mediately cable his government and transmit the demand of the workers of New York that the Peruvian Gov- ernment immediately release Eudo- cio Rabinez, secretary of the Com- munist Party of Peru, who was sen- tenced to death for his anti-war activities. The delegation also de- nounced the war carried on between Peru and Colombia and demanded the cessation of the terror and the release of all workingclass prisoners. The Anti-Imperialist League asks all worker, student and cultural organizations to back up the delega- tion by sending a cable or airmail protest to the Peruvien government in Lima, Peru, the Peruvian ambassa- dor in Washington, D.

They wants to see what yore gonna do.” How he had his two hands held out, large, big-knuckled hands worn and yellow on the palms. “and sometime we're gonna get together,” he brings his palms to- gether and his fingers grip into a double, iron fist. “If it was left to me it'd come tomorrow.” he says. The others nod ready affirmation from the dimness. “What do you want me to tell other workers for you sharecrop- pers and poor farmers in the Ala- bama Black Belt,” I ask him. He stands up to stretch and his huge, strong bulk blots the light trom half the room. His high broad forehead is wrinkled a bit as he thinks. Then he looks straight at me. “Tell them we're ready,” he says, “an’ if I gotta die I'd rather die for something’ than just starve an’ work myself to death like a mule, for nothin’ exceptin’ to make Mistah Pete richer.
