FARMERS GAN KEEP THEIR SECRETS WELL Everything Is Done In Execu-
 tive Session COMMITTEES ARE NAMED Fixing of Minimum Price on Cotton is One of Most important Sub-
 jects-May Be Left to Ex-
 ecutive Committee.
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED

The Farmers Educational and Co., organization that has ever held it's
 meetings in Birmingham Everything Is executive, and they do not intend to
 let any of their actions leak out. Much depends upon the action of the union in setting a minimum price for cotton. There is committee for this special purpose, and it's action will per haps have as much to do with the price of cotton as anything except the short crop.
 While the committee will more than likely make report, and the question will be carefully discussed, it is prob able that final action on the matter will be left to the executive committee.
 The report of the committee on CO., operation Is expected to be interesting.
 The union is coming closer and closer each year to the trades councils, and the links which bind 1t to the labor league are being welded stronger. It Is probable that the union label will be indorsed.
