That the new currency law wne7

Commissioner of Agriculture, Major
w. A. Graham. makes TO ease the at
mOSphere of doubt and uncertainty.
In supplement to this, the commits
Sioner suggests that The alliances and

many of which will have little need
for aid. Agents of the unions VII
then meet with creditors to see at
what rate and terms cotton will be
received in settlement,
It is the purpose Of Commissioner
Graham to make a systematic inves-
tigation through a representative II
his department of the various farmers
unions to discover precisely what is
desired in the way of relief. Com
missioner Graham denies the neces-
sity Of haste and headlong action
right now. He makes the point that
accounts are not due in any large
amount in September and October.
November is the month when settle
ments are called for
Says Commissioner Graham:
There does not seem any necessity
for the excitement now prevalent with
a good many good men as to the
cotton situation. What are
due in September and October: No
vember IS the settling month, SO there
is no necessity Of rushing cotton to
the market, or warehouse, to meet
accounts which are not due for sixty
days. It is not what is the matter
that troubles us, but the fear Of what
future conditions NAV be.
4 would suggest that where a local
union, or alliance conveneS tina the
business agent obtain the names Of
the mber who wish his assistance
in settling their accounts, and that
he does not endeavor to butt in where
he is not wanted. After he has the
names ask whom he owes and the
mount due each creditor. and what
property he has as security, and who
he Will pay. Then let the agent in
terVleW each one of them and see
what they will agree to as the price OF
the cotton in settlement and how long
he can wait. Having ascertained the
