REPORT ON COTTON FUTURES.
Congressman Burleson Attacks the
President For Withholding 1t.

Cotton futures and their alleged ef-
feet upon the prices of cotton were
aired again i'm the house of repreSen-
tativeS last Thursday. Mr.. Burleson
OF Texas. principal antagonist of cot
ton exchanges. who maintains that
they have q deleterious effect on the
cotton producer, called up his resOlu-
ton calling on the secretary of COM
merce and labor to transmit to the
house, the report of the bureau of
corporations on the subject based up
on an investigation directed by reSo-
luton of the house, passed year ago.
Advocating its adoption, Mr.. Bur-
Lesson said the report had been prom
ised him by department officials at
intervals during this congressional
session. but he had not succeeded in
getting it and his resolution was in
tended to bring it out. He had been
informed that the report was in the
hands of the president and while he
would not say that the document
would be blue-penciled, its retention
was a piece of arbitrary meddle-
someness, for which there was no
warrant"
Mr.. Mann of Illinois, opposed the
resolution, declaring that its passage
would constitute a direct reflection
upon the president. Under the law
the duty of passing upon reports
such as this and making public such
portions of them as he deemed for
the best interest of the public. 1t was
only a fair and proper presumption
that the president, in due time would
make public the report or any part
that in his discretion he decided
should be published.
Mr.. Lowering of Massachusetts Sald
he was in favor of the resolution, but
from another standpoint than that OF
Mr.. Burleson. He was a cotton spin
ner and although he understood that
the investigation had been confined
to the operation of exchanges alone
and not to combinations of cotton
producers. he thought the house was
entitled to know the results or the IN
vestigation.
Mr., Fitzgerald of New York oppos-
ed the resolution. Mr.. Burleson, ne
said, through his influence with the
administration, which was greater
than most people thought, had been
able to direct the investigation eX-
clusively to constituents of his (Fitz-
gerald's) who were buyers of cotton
and naturally interested in keeping
the price of cotton down. He wanted
the investigation extended to the con-
stituents of MI Burleson, who, as
sellers. were interested in boosting
prices and were engaged In con-
spiracy to restrict the acreage of cot
ton to that end, and thus raise the
price of cotton goods to the poor con-
sumers.
"The trouble is" retorted Mr.. Bur-
Lesson, that the gentlemens constit-
uents are not buyers at all, but man
ipulators, who operate prices SO as
to reduce the price paid to the pro-
ducer and raise it to the purchaser
$40 or $50 bale"
without action the resolution went
over until tomorrow-New York
Commercial.
