Congress will be asked by the cot

and to enact legislation that will pre-
vent similar condition of affairs in
the future. Action will be taken by q
number OF prominent mill mon, who
have agreed that conditions have be-
come intolerable. 1t is held by at
torneys that Congress will be justi-
fed in enacting such legislation as
may be necessary to prevent cotton
corners, on the ground that they in
terfere with interstate commerce and
are therefore illegal" Letters have
been sent to leading retailers and job
bers all over the county, asking them
to report upon how their business
