There seems to be moro graft and
juggling on the part of the United

reference to the figures on the grow

OF Congress In the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Eilerbe calling OH tEt
Secretary Of Agriculture for infor
nation lative to the compilation ol
cotton estimates.
Mr.. E lerbe said Thursday that hi
did not care what Secretary Wilson
said jncerning the matter he woulc
stand by the interview given the
press that be is prepared to show
5hat the government reports are ab
'lntely wrong.
NJ. Laver and other members OF
che agricultural c)mmittee have beer
closoted with Secretary Wilson for
several hours and refuse to give ou
Information bearing upon the mat
SER Tney say, however, the situa
tlon Is serious for Wilson.
A prop )sition was made to Wilson
before the estimate was made to al
ow certain members Of Congress tt
