BIRMINGHAM, May 16.-The Farmers
Alliance convention has thrown down the
glove to the jute bagglng trust, and the
thirteen Southern States, all OF which
have representatives here, are in tho boy
colt combine. All OF the sessions OF the
convention are secret. 1t has been shown
that the manufacture OF the necessary
amount OF cotton bagging to cover the en-
tire cotton crop Of the South will not in
volve the consumption of $4,000
bales OF cotton. 1t was also shown
that the cost Of insuring the crop
wrapped in cotton bagging would be $780,
600 less than that wrapped in the more
inhammable jute. AS to the cost, repre-
sentatives from trust houses in st. Louis
and Charleston were present who offered
TO lay the jute baggng on the market OF
consumption at l2s cents Ter pound. 1t
was shown that cotton bagging would cost
IL cents.
The convention unanimously and enthu-
siastically adopted II resolution in favor OF
the permanent use OF cotton bagging, and
pledging those they represented TO use
that bagging and no other.
Another resolution was introduced later
in the session to the effect that the Alli-
ance proceed at once to erect bagging
factory in each Of tho Southern States.
This was also unanimously adopted.
