Planters Pledge to
 Hold Cotton for 35e

Columbia, s. C., November 19.-Cotton planters meeting here today adopted res olutions pledging themselves to hold their cotton for 35 cents a pound, middling basis; demanding the names of those who sold short and caused the recent slump in cotton, and asked President Wilson to abolish the two cotton commit tees headed by Charles J. Brand and Thomas w. Page.
 Plans for holding cotton were placed in the hands of committee of H, head ed by Governor Manning himself cot ton planter
 B. M. Baruch, chairman of the war in dustries board, was criticized during de- bate for failure to correct a report some tune ago that cotton prices would be fixed but a resolution censuring him was tabled.
 During the debate Senator Smith re- ferred to "Baruch and Brand" as the men who should be compelled to find out who issued the orders for the sales that forced cotton down. He declared that if an investigation was not required by the committee he would present it to the Senate. The convention decided to make the inquiry through Charles J. Brand, chairman of the cotton distribu- ton committee of the war industries board
 The meeting adjourned following to- days sessions.
