COTTON ASSOCIATION ATTACKED
New York Member Charges Southern
Growers With Conspiracy. ..

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 4.-Before
the house passed this afternoon the
Livingston resolution, calling upon the
bureau of corporations to investigate
the, cotton exchanges of the country,
with the view to preventing dealing In
cotton futures. Mr.. Fitzgerald OF New
York, made a violent attack upon the
Cotton Growers association. saying
that the association ''in conspiring to
increase the price Of cotton Is as Gull
pable as any cotton exchange which
tends to lower the price"
Col. Livingston today called up his
resolution and asked that 1t be passed.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, while denying any op-
position to the resolution, said the
Cotton Growers association should al
so be Investigated as he knew, and all
the members knew, that the associa-
ton had met and restricted the area
Of the cotton growth so as to Initiate
the price.
This, Mr.. Bartlett Of Georgia, denied
Mr.. Fitzgerald replied that some steps
had been taken to initiate the price and
he considered an imitation of the price
by artificial means more harmful than
the work of the cotton exchanges In
depressing the price. He said he spoke
as consumer and not as producer
OF cotton.
Mr.. Burleson OF Texas, denied that
the cotton growers had ever consplred
to initiate the price Of cotton. He said
there are 100000 concerned In raising
cotton and II Is impossible for so large
Il number to get together and decide
IN anything.
Col. Livingston said:
"This Is no fight on the cotton ex-
changes. understand that many men,
bers Of the exchanges deplore the very
conditions which this investigation
seeks to regulate"
The resolution was then passed
unamended.
