words, is in the hands of the printer,
and probably will not be available to the

summaries were prepared for publica ton.

by Mr.. Weinstock, and that of the repre-
sentatives of the public by Mr.. Commons.

the latter, $50 were affiliated with tina en-

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

The renewal of the tension between this
country and Germany is regarded as an
unfavorable influence of the worst sort.
In addition. there are the conflicting
claims regarding the crop situation In

becaut recent rains have caused almost
universal claim of new growth to the

Summary Is Given

The Commons summary says on this
subject:
IN giving reasons for disregarding the
reports of investigators for the commits
sion, the report says that its signers do
not consider that the Investigations were
complete as they were not submitted to
all parties at interest to be checked up
as to fact"
The Weinstock summary says concern
ing the work of the field agents:
I'VE find that the alleged findings of
fact and. in a general way, the comments
made therein in the report of the staff
of this commission, under the direction
of Mr.. Basil M. Manly which has been
made a part of the records of this COM
mission, without the Endorsement, how
ever, of the commission, so manifestly
partisan and unfair that we cannot give
them our Endorsement"
In addition to the three main reports and
the individual opinions and suggestions
the commission, according to announce
ment by Mr.. West. will make public on
August q report on the Colorado strike
ano few days later a report on the stu
alton of the structural iron workers.
