MEETING IN SECRET
FAnMuRs, COOPERATIVE UNION AT
 BEssEHIER.
The Drgansxation Is One of Resolution ana Not Revolution, Declares Mr' Grifln, Secretary for ArlkRnsns.


 >RirminEham, Aug. 23.--(Special) )- The second days session of the state Convention of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union at Bessemer' was devoted, so 1t is stated, to the con Sideration of reports of officers ana members, and also to a general Work- ing out of the cotton warehouse scheme which the union has on foot. The business sessions of, the union are pc hind closed doors. It has no press committee and none of it's doings are given out officially. All that Is learned comes in a rather indefinite sort or way.
 It is stated that the reports of the of- haers showed the organization to be in splendid condition, having, mem bership of something like 6O,OOO Tn l Alabama. The finances of the union were also found to be ina very srau- flying state. The growth or the union has been very rapid and while 1t was but recently formed in Alabama, its growth has been marvellous. The election of officers is causing much interest, as Is also the selection of delegates to the national convention of the union, which will be held at 1 Texarkana, September 5. It Is learned
 that at this session a legislative com mittee will be named to look after sucn Iek16latiOn us buo 06AASAAtNASA ~ may need.
 At last nights session a number or addresses were made publicly by lead | ing men of the organization, including one by Ben L. Griffin of Conway, Ark Secretary of the Arkansas union. We are starting a system of resolution, and not revolution" said Mir Griffin. He said that 1t was in this idea that the farmers uniop differed from the old fafmers' alliance. He urged his fellow members not to become impatient, say ing it took forty-five years to build up the great millionaire class, who have the market in their hands" He spoke strongly in favor of the abolition of the present credit system
 W. D. Nesbitt of Birmingham spoke on the cotton warehouse system as pro- posed by the farmers. and told the farmers that they must meet force with force of the same class, and added that this could be done only through CO., operation.
 W. A. Morris of Lamar County spoke ir favor of a uniform warehouse sys- tenn throughout the cotton States. G.. H. Bean or Jefferson County declared in speech that the best warehouse a farmer can have 'ls good shelter at home" The convention will adjourn some time tomorrow.
