NEW CITY HOUSES TO RENT BEYOND WORKERS’ REACH |Highest Bid Accepted by Mayor O’Brien on Construction Job NEW YORK.—After a few min- utes whispering among themselves, the Board of Estimate approved the highest bid for building construction }on its $16,000,000 Chrystie-Forsyth | Sts. site on the lower East Side.

Out of three bids offered for the construction job, Mayor O’Brien and his henchmen selected that of Sloan and Robertson, involving the greatest cost and the highest rentals. The reason given is that this higher rental will yield greater returns to the city, but a report has it that John McCooey, Brooklyn Tammany boss, is behind the Sloan and Robertson firm.

Mr. Sloan refused to divulge the backers of his plan. “I am not at liberty to divulge their names,” he said, “but they are among the most |responsible members of the com- | munity.” Persistent reports have it that Edmund McCarthy, son-in-law | of John McCooey, is definitely “in- | terested” in the Sloan and Robertson project.

HIS year millions haven't a piece | of clothing that isn’t falling apart. |This year many a child will miss School because he’s ashamed of his ragged clothes. And this year Presi- | dent Roosevelt demands that the South plow under 25 per cent of the | cotton crop already planted—the raw material for just such clothes as are bitterly needed by the masses. The plow that puts the growing cotton under the earth, will plow un- der also the strength, hope and means of livelihood of millions in the South. The plan means a more des- perate poverty for the southern mass- es—and the immediate profit of the landlords, speculators and bankers. The cotton crop is life or death to the masses of the South. How will | the plowing under of acres of cotton affect each social group? This is a | burning question today below the | Mason-Dixon line. izi ng Cotton Destruction and Rags for the Hale County, Ala, He has stored in his warehouses, or in warehouses under his control, enormous quanti- ties of cotton. This surplus, wrung last year from small farmers and croppers, will this summer bring Speaker Tunstall a neat profit. But only during the summer months—that is, before the present crop is picked—will the price remain high. The present surplus is enough —perhaps more than enough—to sat- isfy the reduced demands of the starving masses—who are the ma- jority of the consumers. By the time this surplus has been sold, the flood of cotton from this years’ crop, thrown on the market, will again bring the price tumbling. And not before then will the small farmer, the tenant, the cropper be ready to put his cotton on the market. In the summer months, high prices for the surplus held by speculators and landlords. In the fall, once more, ruinous prices for the small farmer, tenant, and cropper. In such a situation, the struggle of x Higher P: rices for Rich | owner of three large plantations in| the bank or other mortgage holder will demand increased security.

As proof positive, it points to the rising price of cotton today. Yes, it is true that today cotton is | sold at a higher price. But what cot- | ton is this? It is the cotton that has _ been held in the warehouses of specu- lators and big landlords—the surplus of last year’s cotton crop. It is this | surplus, and this alone, ‘that will great importance.

He, and not those who work the land, will col- lect government money in exchange for the destroyed crop. But what of the tenant? The cash tenant has agreed to pay the |landlord, out of the proceeds of the crop, so much money for the rent jof the land. The landlord will direct a reduced acreage. He will not \fetch higher prices. These higher | prices will result from inflation, and |from expectation of the plowing un- |der of part of the present crop. Who will profit from the present higher price? Precisely these specu- lators and landlords. Where did they get this big store of cotton? They | got it last fall, from the small farm- ers who could not afford to hold their |cotton, and from the croppers, who, | by the custom of forced pooling, had |to bring their cotton straight from |the ginning-mill to the {andlord’s | barn.

But, at the end of the season, they will have less | cotton to turn in against that debt. Even should certain croppers turn in some c ~ cotton a little while before the price comes tumbling down, the customs of forced pooling and no accounting will prevent their getting any benefit from the tempo- rary price rise. * ‘HE lot of the mass of agricultural laborers will be bitter indeed. Hundreds of thousands of them are now in the cities, jobless, but plan- ning on a short period of work in the cotton-patch this fall. But the re- duced cotton crop will require far Jess labor. And this reduced demand for labor will affect also, incidentally, thousands of croppers and tenants, who rush through their own crops and hire themselves out for a few days on the farms of landlords and small independent farmers. All the factors operating against the plan—the competition of foreign countries when American cotton prices rise, last-minute decisions of certain landlords to raise larger crops in expectation of a higher price—will work to bring down the Price of cotton—in the fall. That is, just at the time when the small fel- low has cotton to sell. The plan itself becomes part of a vicious circle which brings tHe price of cotton ever lower. The main rea- son for the low price is that the ma- jority of consumers—workers, poor farmers, farm toilers—have no money. They cannot buy back what they have produced. Rising prices of cotton this summer will mean even less demand from the masses. And more starvation of the agricultural | toilers means less buying also. And, once again, falling prices. Another factor: the money to be paid the planters, for reducing acre- age, will come out of a processing tax on cotton. That tax will come out cf the pocket of every worker and toiling farmer who buys a shirt or a vair of overalls. Again, reduced de- mand and falling prices of raw ma- terial, Constantly the circle grows more vicious. The gist of the plan is a quick profit for the cotton speculators and Jandlords—of both North and South —and more intense starvation for the southern farining masses. President Tillers Building Organization Among Share Croppers | beat the southern masses down to a depth such as even they have never known. The social consequences of the plan among the agrarian masses will be far-reaching. Many of the small farm owners will be forced to mortgage, as @ result of selling less cotton at a lower price, when speculators and landlords have already glutted the market with last year’s surplus. Many of the mortgaged owners will lose their farms, and become tenants or croppers. Many of the cash tenants will sink to the terrible bondage of share-cropping, Many a share-crop- per, with an impossible burden of debt, will become purely and simply an agricultural laborer. And thou- sands of agricultural laborers will be squeezed out altogether. A large num- ber of each group will be forced down one rung in the agrarian ladder. And, since the greater part of the cotton area is the Black Belt, in which the majority are Negroes, the plan to plow under means a new and more vicious attack on the rights of he Negro people, There will be—un- ess the masses organize to prevent t~a new wave of lynchings against arming Negroes who demand wages nd accountings from the landlords. There will be a flood of arrests for vagrancy — enforced idleness. The prisons and chain-gangs will be filled to overflowing. The plowing under of the cotton will be a terrible weapon against the bitterly oppressed masses of the Black Belt. Small farmers! Tenants! Croppers! Organize in Share Croppers Unions and Farmers Com- mittees of Action. Demand that there be no evictions from the land, no foreclosures of mortgages, no seizure oi livestock.
