COTTON FUTURES
 BILL AGREED ON

Washington, M@y 20.-The Lever bill to regulate dealings in cotton futures was agreed on today by the House agricultural subcommittee, and the full committee may consider it tomorrow. It would pro- vide that there shall be no tax on legiti- mate contracts for cotton but would im- pose a prohibitive tax on what might be officially determined to be illegitimate contracts. Cotton dealt in on the ex- changes would have to be within the standardized grades.
 The bill proposes the creation of a board of appeals to consider disputes as to quality, grade or length of staple and prescribes publicity of all transactions relating to futures.

of her visit to factory:
"The big iron doors Of the mills and
factories opened to us, and shut us into
a new world. We had driven past these
huge buildings and had heard the roar
of machinery, but we thought only of
the moving bands and the buzzing
wheels, then. Now, inside, looking down
the long dusty aisles, where ranks of
girls stood, with machinelike motions,
we realized that human lives were woven
on those looms or wound among
those wheels. The girls seemed so much

them answered our greeting it was al
most as ii cog had spoken.

grew on trees, with never thought Of
the human muscles and nerve that went
into them. In the cold twilight of win

and far off, a factory whistle blow for
work, and we had turned over to take
another nap in our soft warm beds. But
even then these girls were hurrying
along the foggy streets, in which the
street lamps still glimmered, shivering

Ready to Receive Bids for
Madison's First Factory
speciaI to the Evening Star.

MADISON, Aug. 22.-Assemblyman
George w. Downs, president of the
newly organized Madison manufac-
turing plant, has issued invitations
to Madison men and others to bid on
the erection of the factory building
in Prospect street, on what is known
as the boulevard tract.
1t was thought that the plant would
be in operation about October l, but
Mr.. Downs states that the European
war is holding UP the plans of the
company somewhat. He thinks, how
ever, that work on the new building
will start about the first of next
month. Charles H. Totty is secretary
and treasurer of the organization.
Mr.. Downs stated that there is no
question of selling the products of
the plant, paper-bard, used for
trunks and bags, once the factory
is in operation. He confirmed his
statement with letters from two diff
ferent dealers in this line of goods.
One offered to take the entire output
and the other asked for some of the
product and ventured the opinion
that the sale of the paper-board will
not be a difficult matter.
This will be the first factory or
manufacturing plant of any kind to
be started within the confines of
Madison. 1t is probable that an ice
plant will be In operation here year
hence.

PASSAIC SLATE
ALREADY IN SHAPE
Democrats Designate Men to
Be Supported by the Organ
ization at Primaries.
speclal % the EvenInE star.

PATERSON, Aug. 22.-The special
committee named recently by Chair
man John Boylan, of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, last night
made known their choice of candi-
dates for the various offices to be
elected this fall. The ticket is as
follows:
For Congress, Judge w. CARING
ton Cabell, of Passaic; for freeholder,
John S. Cadmus, of Passaic and
Harry Haring, of this city; for men,
bers of the General Assembly, Louis
v. Hinehliffe, James Cullington and
Louis Boselli, of Paterson; Gilbert
Van Vranken, of Passaic, and John
Adamson, of Clifton; for coroner, DR..
Jacob Greengrass.
Adamson, selected by the commit
tee for the Assembly nomination, IS
a Progressive, and has been affili-
ated with that organization since the
party was first formed His selec-
ton is taken in some quarters as in
dicating fusion between Democrats
and Progressives.
The names will be bracketed on the
Democratic primary ticket, and will
be known as Organization Demo-
Gratis" This is the first time since
the enactment of the Geran act that
the Democratic County COInIInLIee
has made any selection before the
primaries. Costly experience, one
prominent Democrat said, has
prompted the organization to follow
the plan of Essex county democracy.
Senator Peter ]. McGinnis, speaking
of the new plan last night, said:
IT'S the only way in which things
can be done properly. The entire
county is entitled to recognition. II
1t Is left to the Democrats as party
forty or fifty citizens will go on the
primary ticket from the same To-
cality, and 1t would be impossible to
secure proper representation. There
should be order instead Of anarchy in
politics, and while some may com
ment that the machine is at work a
ticket satisfactory to all the voters
can only be secured in this way"
Senator McGinnis wanted 1t under
stood that should democracy show by
its vote at the polls that certain
selection made by the committee was
not desirable. the county organization
would stand by the decision of the
voters and back up the choice of the
party.
