Emporia, Nov 26.-Production is
going on at full blast in the new coal
field at Admire, near Emporia, and
the coal miners union which has

EEOPENS COTTON ROW
Governor Alien Calls Editorial in
Manufacturers Record.

Governor Allen today took a brand
new stack of chips in the southern
cotton row when he cracked the whip
over the heads of cotton growers who
'patrioticaly" removed two million
bales of cotton from the ma rkets IN
order to dominate prices. The gov
ernor used the cotton storage news
as the basis of a letter to Richard II.
Edmonds, editor of the Manufactur
ers Record of Baltimore. He answer
cd a recent statement by Edr1onds
that every man who is not now doing
his utmost to increase production is a
Stacker in the greatest warfare In MS
tory
In his letter to EGmonds the gov
ernor said he could not distinguish
between the labor agitator and the
class mindedness of those who denied
even handed justice to all alike. Il
am frank to say" Governor Allen
wrote in very caustic vein, that l
cannot distinguish between an effort
of financial interests to limit or re-
duce production for their own gain
and an effort of radical labor agita-
tors to increase the WAGES of labor at
the expense of the industries of the
country"
Letter to Edmonds.
That the ffiquities of the cotton
growers may be kept fresh in Ed
monds's mind. the governor wrote:
In your editorial l note the expression,
Every who is not now doing his ut
most to increase production is a Stacker
in the greatest warfare of history" With
that sentiment | heartily agree. 1t was
the realization of this truth that impelled
me to refuse the invitation from the cotton
spectators to join in n movement to or
ganize the cotton growers Of the south for
the purpose of reducing the production OF
that needed staple. l these cotton men
have now followed up that artificial move
mcnt to curtail production by another
out of circulation two million bales Of cot
ton for the purpose of creating an artifi-
cial shortage so that prices may be higher.
l am calling your attention to this because
at the time | first objected to 1t re-
ceivpd from the winter resort In Florida
where yOu were staying at that time state
mcntS and letters upholding the action of
'the cotton spectators and attempting to
Justify the curtailment of production. At
that time apparently the eloquent senti-
ment, Every man who is not now doing
his utmost to increase production is
Stacker in the greatest warfare of history"
had not occurred to your mind.
II strikes me that men who hope to have
leadership should be able to see both sides
OF a proposition Of this character. l nm
frank to say that cannot distinguish be-
tween an effort of financial interests to
limit reduce production for their own
gain and an effort of radical labor agita-
tors to inrreaSe the wages of labor at the
expense of the industries of the county.
