NEGRO UPRISING
WAS FOSTERED,
i
HELENA, Ark., Oct. 7 (by Associ
ated Press).—The recent race riots,
it is charged, were the result of a
negro uprising fostered by a negro
who preyed on the ignorance and su

gain.
A statement made by a member of
the committee authorized to investi
gate the trouble and its settlement
said the insurrection was the work of
an organization called the “Progres
sive Farmers and Household Union of
America,” started by Robert Y. Hill, a
negro of Winchester, Ark., who told
the blacks he was a government agent
and that the organization would be
supported by the government in de
fense of the negroes against the
whites.
