FEDERAL RESERVE
 BOARD OPTIMISTIC
w. p. G. HARDING SAYS PLACING COTTON ON CONTRABAND LIST
 NOT DESPERATE SITUATION.

Birmingham.-W. P. G. Harding. Of the Federal Reserve Beard. told the Alabama Merchants As soeiation here that tho pias~ ing of cotton on the contraband list by the allies did not create desperate. situation, but rather one calling for in- telligent leadership. He urged South ern bankers to make concessions ts finance the crop, and predicted there would be international competition fcy the American crop despite the fact that 1t was contraband. Mir. Harding handled, for the resere board, the Sy- engagements for the S100, 1000. 000 cos- ton loan fund. He explained to the Alabama merchants, however, thai. hc. was not speaking for the federal board. but was giving his personal views
 Germany" said Mir Harding. eis as anxious to have cotton as the al lies are to prevent her It is not i'm conceivable that there may be ext- dences before very long of information al competition for possession of the South's great staple It is at least a possibility that cotton will be puy- chased in large quantities for forefgY account and stored in Southern ware houses, to be shipped out as needed and as opportunities for shipment arise.
 No one has ever accused the Ger mans of lacking in far sightednes& They are already looking forward fe what will happen when peace is rs, stored, and that they will make a sas- preme effort to recover their lost trade with other nations can not be doubted, It is reasonable to believe that they would look with compis cency upon the absolute control of the cotton market by the mills of Enr land and America, permitting them to secure their supplies of cotton as very low prices and defer their OWE purchases until after peace is made and take the chances of securing thea their own stocks at much higher prices? It is not reasonable to believe that they will arrange to buy cottoR as the spinners of other nations bay it, and can they not easily arrange ts have their cotton purchases stored ih this country for their account untM they can transport it to their owx shores?"

 Publication of names of poll tax re- ceipt holders and representation of po- litical parties other than the Demo cratic on election boards may be in cluded in the proposed election law to be drafted by a committee appointed at the special convention of the State Federation of Labor in Little Rock last week, according to G. B. McCar- thy, chairman. The other members of the committee are Joe Flynn and (. r. Casa, roth of Little Rock. The resolution authorizing the committee provided only that the committee be fairer to all parties than the pres ent law" and to submit a draft of the bill to the president of the federation within 30 days
 "The present law is unfair to Re- publicans, Socialists and other politi- cal parties in several ways, and it will be the aim of the committee to have the new bill eliminate the unfair conditions" MT. McCarty said. Tho committee has not discussed the mat ter but 1t is probable one provision will require that the names of all hold CTS of poll tax receipts be published, showing whether they are white or black. The bill probably will provide also for the representation of political parties other than the Democratic on election boards"
 After the bill has been approved by the president it must be ratified by the local unions that are members of the State Federation of Labor before being initiated and submitted at gen eral election. It is planned to have the measure voted on at the general election in November, 1916. Repre- sentative T. A Wilson of Pine Bluff is president of the federation.
