MAY CHANGE BASIS OF
COTTON SALES SHORTLY
With Unit 100, Instead of 75 Bales,
Much Car Space May BE
Conserved.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Railroad
men appointed to study methods of
moving the cotton crop with the least
possible strain on the railroads.
have announced that the only step
which could be made effective i'm
mediately is to change the basis OF
sales from a unit OF 100 bales to rs
bales. This would permit full load
ing of cars and save much valuable
shipping space.
The average loading capacity of
freight cars is 75 bales and the rail-
road representatives said sales in
multiples of 100 bales forced the
hauling of less than carload lots. and
nothing was gained by efficient
loading. Already some mills have
started purchasing in 75 bale lots.
The railroad men. members of a
committee appointed by Lincoln
Green. vice president Of the South
ern Railway, by authority Of a con-
ference held here recently under the
auspices of the National Council of
Cotton Manufacturers, will meet a
committee of cotton men. appointed
by George II. McFadden. Jr., of
Philadelphia, here next Friday.
There have been suggestions that
the size OF bales be standardized and
that greater compression. be used
but the railroad men believe neith-
er could be effected quickly enough
TO relieve the present traffic conges-
-tion. Congress may be asked to en-
act Legislation requiring the use of
standardized gin box.

amount larger than their allotment
Although the campaign closed

continue all week in Georgia and for

see."

ENTIRE INTERESTS ARE
PLACED IN HIS HANDS
President Free to Act as He Thinks
Best to Avert Strike of Rail-
way Employees.

Washington, Nov. 19.-President
Wilson today was given free hand
by the railroads in his effort to avert
strike for higher wages by engi-
neers, conductors, trainmen and
brakemen, with those representa-
tives he will confer Thursday.
Formal announcement by the rail-
roads war board that the railroads
were ready, should any crisis arise.
to place their interests unreseryedly
in the hands of the President for
such disposition as he may determ-
inc is necessary in the public inter
est was expected to clear away mis-
understandings of the four brother
hoods over the attitude of the roads,
which had caused the unions to re-
fuse to arbitrate the dispute.
Possibility of stoppage of COM
merce, thereby paralyzing the ma
tion's war preparations, was believ-
ed by officials to have passed They
expected that an agreement to leave
the wage question to an impartial
tribunal would result from Thurs
days conference, and already sug-
gestions for means to forestall any
further agitation concerning wages
and conditions of work during the
war which at the same time would
protect the workers In maintaining
their standards of life in the midst
of war prices, are under considera.
ton. England's example of allowing
the board Of trade to regulate wages
at intervals of several months, and
at the same time adjust rates tC
protect the railroads, is being given
close study.
Some form OF continuing arbitra
ton, it is believed, will result from
the Presidents conference and sue
ceeding negotiations. For their par
the railroads have indicated thai
they may ask for some form of con
troll OF wages and rates similar tC
that in effect to regulate coal w≥
and prices.
Brotherhood officials have disclos
ed a serious situation in their dis
cussions with Judge Chambers
chairman OF the United States boarC
of mediation and conciliation. wht
has been President Wilson's repre-
sentative in preliminary conferenc
with both sides. They said inCreas
ed wages are necessary to maintain
the operating personnel Of the road
against the inducements of highe
wages paid in other industries whicl
have government contracts. Re
cruitng of railroad regiments 70
service in France, enlistment in tn
army and the operation of the draf
law also have aided in depicting tn
number of highly trained railroa
men.
