ON SETTING
COTTON PRICE MADE
New Committee Begins Deliberations
BY Hearing Delegation OF
Marketing Organizations.

WASHINGTON. Sept 24.-Pro-
tests against the government fixing
basic prices for standard grades OF
cotton marked the beginning today
OF the deliberations OF the new com
mittee named to investigate the cot
ton situation.
A delegation Of the cotton states
official advisory marketing COM
mittee appeared before the commit
tee late today after comforting at
the capitol with Senator Smith OF
South Carolina and his associates
from the cotton states. J. j. Brown,
Georgia's commissioner OF agricul-
ture, headed the delegation and
voiced what he termed the protest
OF the farmers agnlnst price fixing.
Mr.. Brown Is president OF the ad-
visory marketing committee. He
said his organization believed the
law OF supply and demand should
govern prices
While willing TO submit to any
act OF the government as a war
measure. Mr.. Brown said he did not
believe such drastic action as price
fixing is necessary. The wisdom of
the appointment of the cotton dis
tribution committee, empowered to
buy cotton for the government and
the allies, and to allocate II as TO
quality and grade to all domestic
and foreign consumers, was ques-
toned,

DATE OF DRAWING DRAFT
NUMBERS NOT CERTAIN

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2l.--Tho
national lottery which, in a measure,
will determine the order of the CALI
ing Of the 1900. 900 then between
1S and IS years of age who regis
tered September IL. probably will
not be held before next week. Of
ficlals had hoped TO fix q date late
this week, but this plan In under
STOOD to have been abandoned In
Ner that additional time may be
given local boards to correct any
errors made In assigning serial num-
bers TO the registrants.
Since men between 10 and % are
TO be the first called to the colors,
the drawing will have less effect
upon determining the order Of the
call than did that for the nearly one
million men who turned 81 before
last June 8. Order numbers for all
the 100000 men will be drawn,
but youths OF Is and men between
50 and IS will not beclassified until
the boards have given classification
to all the men between 10 and 3s
who are the first to receive their
questionnaires. In the meantime
many OF the ID to 36 classes will
have been inducted into service.
Reports received today by Provost
Marshal General crowder from
nearly all states indicated that satis-
factory progress is being made by
local boards in attaching serial num-
bers to the registration cards, but in
one or two instances mistakes by
local boards have made necessary
the renumbering OF the cards for ali
registrants under their Jurisdiction.
No date for the drawing can be fixed
until this work is finished.
