Mr.. Lever Explains.

lSpecial to The Times Dispatch.1
Washington. d. c.. September 81
Discussing this matter, Representative
Lever said:
Majority Leader Underwood to-day
introduced as a separate bill the Lever
Burleson-S Smith substitute for the
Clarke amendment relating to the tax
on cotton futures. The conference of
the House and Senate has failed to
agree upon this proposition, and 1t is
the intention of Majority Leader I'm
dcrwood, II Is assumed, in introducing
this bill. to move that the House con-
cur in the Clarke amendment with an
amendment, which amendment would
be the Lever Smith Burleson substi-
tute
The special difference, in the two
propositions, is II difference between
obstruction and regulation. 1t is argued
by many who have studied the cotton
proposition for years that the enforce
ment of the Clarke amendment would
destroy absolutely all of the functions
of the cotton exchanges, and would re-
suit in monopolizing the cotton market
in the hands of very fow powerful
spot dealers and spnners The Lever
Burleson- Smith substitute would force
the exchanges to adopt the government
standards of grades when delivery Is
made thereby preventing the manipu-
lation of the market by the uses of
essential grades. and preventing, too,
the delivery upon the contract of cot
ton which Is undesirable and unspin-
nable In the hands of manufacturers.
