East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-04

For what purpose is the 18th in
fantry sailing over the seas to the
Philippines? The glamor of war is
"sicklied-o'er" with the painful re-
ality that the flower of the youth is
being pIucked for this wasteful, muir
derous trade, and who benefits by it?
Does the farmer. mechanic, tradesman
or laborer benefit by the fighting in
the Philippines? The truth is. just
a few capitalists who will receive all
the returns from the industries of the
islands will be tha sole beneficiaries.
The government income from the
islands will not pay the powder bill,
much less the cost of maintaining the
army and navy and the civil and mil
tary authorities of the islands.

The only difficulty in displac'ns

the weights OF the two materials.
The Southern Cotton ASSOCIATION Will
take up this matter with the lead
inc cotton exchanges Of the country
and undertake to get the question OF
tare adjusted. 1t will also take up
the matter of displacing burlap bags
with cotton and endeavor 20 get mills
started along this line as quickly as
possible.
The south can solve many OF the
present difficult problems that con-
front southern cotton producers by
concert of action among her people
and certainly no question is OF more
vital concern at the present time
than to increase the consumption OF

New Use for Cotton.
Atlanta, Ca, May 1e.

-1l1di1le1. No-, -Ho- -
A new use for the vast surplus OF
cotton raised in the south has been
suggested by President Harvie Jor-
dan. of the Southern Cotton assocl-
alton. 1t is one which should take
with favor among southern cotton
mill men. and if carried out would
consume much of the cotton now be-
ing held by the farmers.
President Jordan thinks that COT
ton bags should be used for CONNER
cial fertilizers instead Of the Jute
bagsing now used. II this be done,
and President Jordan points out all
excellent method, at reduced price,
cotton in great quantities would lind
itself in a market from which II has
heretofore been barred.
President Jordan's letter is as
follows:
One Of the most important question
O engage the attention Of the south
at this time is to increase the con-
sumption of cotton We are growing
more cotton than the world IS need
mo under normal demand and in Or
der to keep the matter Of supply and
demand equally balanced. we must
either grow less cotton or increase
the consumption Of cotton. 1t is
much more desirable to do the latter
tnan the former We can increase
the demand here at home quite ma
terially without going into torelgn
countries. We are now using Jute IN
enormous quantities to make bags
and to cover cotton that might just
as we'll be made from our own staple.
We import jute 5000 miles from the
shores OF the United States and pay
heavy import duty on the raw pro
duct. besides giving tremendous
monopoly to one or two strong cor
porations who handle it. Clearly 1t
is to The interest of the south to stop
this 5stem which works hardship
to southern producers both ways.
In the matter of bags for guano
alone. it would require large number
of mills and a considerable quantity
of raw cotton.
Making the Bags.
It will require one and half yards
OF cloth 10 make a bag, and there are
probably 25.ooo,ooo bags used tor
fertilizers in the south. On that
basis this would require 57,5oo,ooo
wards of cloth, 100000 pounds OF
cotton, or 100000 bales. 1t has been
estimated that nearly seventy million
burlap bags are used in the south.
and if the wholesale jo5bers would
use cotton bags in place OF barrels
for rice. grits, coffee and such other
commodities we could soon run the
total consumption of cotton into
bags to the splendid total Of one MIL

INDUSTRIAL NEWS

The New York Commercial saws:
While various persons concerned profess
to know nothing about the matter, 1t was
stated with great positiveness In usually
well informed Wall street quarters yester-
day that a plan for the southern iron and
steel merger is satisfactory to the four
iron companies had been drawn UP and
submitted by the bankers who are expect
ed to finance 1t. Officers of some of the
companies denied that they had either
accepted a plan or received one for con-
sideration.
A conference attended by large stock
holders of the iron and steel companies
was held yesterday at the ofics of Blair
& Co., at which representatives of La

said some time ago that only the annual
meeting of the company in May would
determine where control of the company
lay, but 1t is generally believed that the
plan as drawn up by the bankers will be
either agreed to or abandoned before that
time. The stocks of all the companies
were strong on the market yesterday.

As a result of the conferences Friday 1t
is assured that the Sloss- Sheffield COM

will go into the combination are not dehn-
