Abstract

The article presents three telegrams which came from north-eastern Arkansas on successive days. The names in the telegrams are the names of brave men in the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union under attack by the armed planters and their representatives in northeastern Arkansas in the counties of Poinsett, Mississippi, and Crittenden. The president of the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, W.H. Stultz, is an Arkansas share-cropper. Before share-cropping in Arkansas he tried to eke out the same kind of a living in Tennessee. His wife and six children and all their belongings were thrown out on the road last December because he joined the union.
