URGES UNION
FOR COTTON MEN
Proposes Organization Similar
in Details to League
of Nations.
LARGE GROWTH IN COTTON

New Orleans, La. Oct. 15.-A union
| similar to the league of nations was
| urged for the cotton men of the
world at the opening of the sixth
session of the Worlds Cotton con-
ference this morning.
Six million persons ar3 engaged in
the cotton industry and more than
twenty billion dollars are invested in
| cotton, according to C. p. Austin, of
the National City bank of New York.
The industry has grown from 5O0,-
| 100000 pounds in 1900 to $4,000, ,0O0,-
600 pounds in 1913 the last normal
year. A movement is in preparation
to eliminate the cotton broker, buy
er and seller and a number of cot
ton exchanges and the establishment
Of system by which the grower and
spinner of cotton may come closer
together. This, it Is estimated will
save SIG to $40 per bale, making
possible an advanced cotton price
without making it necessary to ad-
vance the price cf the finished
product.
BuIlars Address.
The sixth session opened in the
Mosque of Jerusalem temple with an
address by w. Irving Bullars, man
ager of the textile department OF
the Merchants National bank, of Bos-
ton.
Mr.. Bullars said in part:
10 driven hnntd
by the world war the need of CO.
operation and dependency stands well to
the front. The proposal of a league
of nations-apart from all questions as
to its exact form-expresse the po-
litical phase of that necessity as an
insurance of political peace and prog
ress, But the worlds need of UNDER
standing and harmony is now no less
economis, and economic factors often
lay the foundation of history"
Huge Task of Readlustment.
This is the manner in which Mr..
Bullard began his address on world
cotton federation. the need and the op-
portunity. Continuing, the speaker
said:
"Now with the fighting stopped. we
see world engaged with huge tasks
Of readjustment. In particular we OBJ
form of economic dependence by th.,
older upon the newer hemisphere in
terms of sorely wanted goods even
more than in terms of billions of dol
lars. The world is today knit by vital
needs even more than ever before.
"These general observations apply to
myriad forms of international busi-
ness and trade. But particularly they
apply to the great staple industries.
Mankind must always satisfy its pri-
mary wants of food and clothing. If
there is any world industry that today
because of these new conditions needs
correlation and vision, based on exact
knowledge and on also cooperation in
all it selements, it is the textile trade
of the world"

NOSKE A M0UTHPIECE

Berlin, Oct 15.-(Cable to the I. N.
S. and the London Daily Express.) -
The charge that Gustav Noske, minis
ter of national defense, is only the
mouthpiece of the German military
caste was made today by DR.. Cohn,
leader of the independent socialists in
the absence of Hugo Hasse, who was
shot and seriously wounded last week.
THE government difficulties in the
Baltic are due to its own blunders,"
declared DR.. Cohn. while Noske
imagined himself the chief of the army,
he is really only the mouthpiece of the
military caste. DR.. Haase warned the
government against sending reinforce
ments and ammunition into the east
but they have been shipped ever since
December 1918. This just suited the
certain officers who have disciplined
bodies of troops at their disposal for
any. contingency, The government
having 'acquiesced in this situation, 1t
is not strange that It now finds diff

League Amendment

An amendment to the league of ma

freedom for all subject or submerged
nationalities or peoples found capable
of self government, was urged in the

to the peace treaty by which the
British protectorate over Egypt
would "be understood to be merely
a means through which the nominal
sovereignty of Turkey over Egypt
shall be transferred to the Egyptian
people and shall not be construed as
a recognition by the United States
in Great Britain of any sovereign
rights over the Egyptian people or as
depriving the people of Egypt of any
right of self-g government"

urged that there be hearings on the
bill of two weeks each for those op-
posing and those favoring 1t.
In our mature judgment. said Hamp-
ton, "the reporting out of the bill with
out a public hearing will impress the
American people most unfavorably as
denial Of the right to be consulted
on measures of such fundamental I'm
portance as the disposition of the rail-
roads"

Economic Battle Waged
Over Unemployed Women
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 24.-An economic
battle is being waged over the 1901
900 unemployed women of the country
who earned good wages chiefly as mu-
nitions workers during the war. Some
English newspapers and commenta-
tors are asking if a sex war is one
of the sinister possibilities of the fu-
ture. They point out that the situa-
ton is more dangerous than when the
suffragettes were wont to smash win
dows and terrorize the London police
because the women did not then know
the full measure of their power.
Since the armistice was signed It
has become more and more apparent
that these 100000 women workers
would have to return to private lite
so as to give opportunity of employ
ment for returning soldiers. But they
have not accepted the situation with
good grace, and have answered the
challenge of the economic condition
by strong organizations whose avowed
intention is to safeguard the position
OF woman in industry.
The most important of these is Lady
Rhondda's newly inaugurated Woman 9
Industrial League which has opened
offices in London and sent organizers
into all parts of the country. Lady
Rhondda's plans are viewed with sus-
picion and some measure of diStruSt
by professional woman labor leaders.
DR. Marion Phillips, chief woman Of.
fcer of the Labor Party, asserts that
the agitation conducted by Lady
Rhonddas league is calculated to lead
to bitterness and sex strife between
men and women workers.
