New Orleans, Dec. The
economic problem of produc-
ing and marketing cotton prof
;tably, was discussed by Joe
Cook, of Hattiesburg, Miss,
president Of the Mississippi
Normal College, before the
conference of Cotton States
Bankers here today. He de
clared there had not been a
pound of cotton sold in the
United States in the last forty
years that brought real cost.
He deplored the low standard
of wages paid in the produc-
ton, manufacture and distrib-
ution of cotton and cotton
goods, urged the establishment
of a minimum price tor cot
ton, based upon cost of pro-
duction and suggested means
for placing the industry on a
more profitable, economic ba-
sis.
Taking actual crops and
actual prices of the last fifty
years." said Mr.. Cook, it is
doubtful if labor in cotton pro-
duction has received more
than forty cents a day. Any
industry that pays such wages
is not profitable to the people
as a whole and engenders a
standard Of living that is in
imical to progress and morals.
Millions Of persons believe the
present price of cotton means
a good margin of profit;
whereas the fact is there has
not been a pound of cotton
sold in the United States in the
last forty years that brought
real cost.
The argument in justifica-
ton of present prices is that
cotton is produced by unskil-
led labor and therefore cheap
labor. But there are laborers
in the industry as skilled as
those in any other vocation
The difference in remunera
ton of the different kinds oi
skilled workers is the differ
ence in the power to organize
and enforce demands. The
cotton producers. being widely
distributed, lack organization
and principally because of thi
are forced to sell without con
sidering cost of production
AS a consequence we have th'
anomalous condition in which
a nation $ great export crol
has not even an approximate
ly fixed value with referenc
to cost of production, and tn
producers of this great expor
crop, which largely preserve
the nation balance of trade
