COTTON POOL IS
NOT VIOLATION
Of SHERMAN
LAW
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Sec
retary McAdoo last night conferred
with Attorney General Burleson, rela-
tive to the $135,OO0,0OO cotton loan. 1t
is understood here that the democratic
attorney general holds that the pool
will not violate the Sherman antitrust
law in the least.
This statement issued by Mr.. Burle-
son sets at rest fear brought about
by the statement of prominent bank
ers. According to their theory, such
a pool would be an infringement of
the Sherman act
With the decision of the attorney
general in favor of the bill, Secretary
McAdoo is confident that the whole
sum will be subscribed with few
days. That this pool will provide re-
lief for the cotton growers of Dixie
is without doubt.
