various commodities and their effect
upon Interstate commerce.
Information has been laid before him
indicating the fact that a combination
has been formed between a number of
operators to buy up all of the remain
ing unused raw cotton produced in the
United States during the crop year
1909-191 and that, as the result of the
operations of this pool. the price of this
cotton has already been advanced so
largely in excess of the normal price
that the cotton manufacturers had
greatly reduced their manufacture
rather than buy at this eXorbitant
price, throwing out of employment up
ward of 25 per cent of the cotton mill
operators of the United States, thus
resulting in the monopolization of the
entire visible supply of raw cotton in
the market and the diminution in the
commerce of cotton goods.
The attorney general thereupon gave
instructions to have the matter inves-
tigated by the grand jury in the south
ern district of New York, and subpoe-
mas were issued which mark the COM
mencement of a thorough investigation
by the goverIsness of the alleged pool.
1t is anticipated that interesting dis
closures will be made into the compost
tion and management of this combina-
ton.
