signed by twelve governors and the
officials Of the chambers Of commerce

combines who have achieved wonderful | results. The wage earners of the United States are daily receiving mil. lions more for their work than the, would have gotten without organiza tion. Their pursuits are more varied than that of the farmers, their average intelligence less and they are more de- pendent on their daily wage for SUD- port, yet they exact and obtain what they deem fair and just return for their labor. If they cannot obtain services.
 "The iron and steel industry of this country Is protected against foreign competition by tariff wall that per- mits these industries to sell their products at high prices at home and dump their surplus on foreign markets at greatly less than domestic cost. It Is all done. so 1t is claimed, for the benefit of the wage-earner. The cot ton producer has no such protection. He cannot get the cost of production, pay good wages to his laborers and a fair profit out of his home trade. Prices are based on what Is called supply and demand, and a small surplus of raw product or of the manufactured mate- rial will depreciate values far below living price.
 Regulation of Production.
 'The great iron and steel industries when they over-produce or trade be- comes dull, blow out furnaces and sus- pend until the depression is over. When goods accumulats at the cotton facto- ries and the demand is not equal to the supply, they run short time for a per riod and await better conditions.
 "A strong producers organization will enable farmers to regulate pro- duction and introduce, many econo- mics in handling their crops. If there were no combines regulating the pur- chase and sale of agricultural pro- ducts, but all was left to an open competitive market 1t might not be so necessary for the producer to or~ ganize. for active competition would regulate and stimulate the price.
 Now there is a three fold necessity for producers to get together: First. to regulate and reduce cost of pro duction, secondly to regulate charges for handling and transportation thir- ly to obtain the higehst price pos sible justified by the demand and sup- ply and to market their crop economi- cally eliminating all unnecessary costs and charges.
 '"The cotton crop of Alabama aver ages in value about $ee e,0oO. 900 annual ly. It Is marketed in a desultory, haphazard and dnbusiness like way. The producing interests have no rep resentative at court no counsel to plead their cause or to stand up for their rights They prepare a great f. nancial feast and allow the specu- lators and many combines to enjoy to satiety first, and are duly thankful
