At least two of the buyers were, out

Friday; but 1t was Il question OF
necessity in each case. During the
days previous they had bought more
cotton than they could mark UP and
ship, and it was absolutely necessary
TO stop for while until the decks
could be cleared, so to speak. "A good

Thirty-Five Cents Cotton.

Thirty-fiv cents looks to most peo-
pie like good price for cotton, and
possibly it is; but taking into con-
sideration the profits the spinners are
making there is some question as to
whether 35 cents is as good n price
to the spinner as it is to the producer.
When cotton went to 80 cents and
above there was tremendous rush
to sell, not so much because they
thought 35 cents was a fair value, as
because during the months since the
price has been below 35 cents, so
many people have been telling them
selves how they should have sold at
that figure when they had an oppor-
tunity and promising themselves that
whenever they got the opportunity
again they would certainly take it.
r But that cotton is not going to re-
main at ,35 cents; is reasonably certain
not long. The only reason that cot
ton went to S5 cents was because spin
ncrs were running low on their sup
plies of raw material. and they had
to keep bidding up to where they could
get supplies on which to keep their
mills in operation.
The profits that were being realized
on the manufactured products were
fully large enough to warrant 35 cents
and more, even so cents, and they
raised the price until the farmers were
ready to turn loose.
The probabilities are that the price
of cotton is going to drop again with
in the next few days, possibly a cent,
two cents or even more.
Why?
That's easy enough. Nobody knows
better. than the .spinners what cotton
is Woith. !fNhey know that l, Is worth
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-10-21

twice 35 cents to them on a basis of
the prices they are now receiving for
their profits, and they would pay
twice S5 cents rather than do without
cotton. or the profits they can make
on cotton at that price.
But the spinners are not going to
pay S5 cents for cotton so long as they
can buy it for less. Would you?
Most of the spinners having sotten
temporary supplies at s5 cents a
pound, enough to keep them comfort
/ able for the next several weeks % ut
least they win take a shot at dropping
tout Of the market for a while. They
won't drop out entirely Of course; but
they will be less Keen to buy and the
tendency will be to ease the price a
little.
% OF course the tiMlthdrawai goft fths
spinners does not necessarily mean
that the price 4of Gotten istleft with
out support. There are lots OF peo-
pie. who understand that cotton is a
good speculation, at 35 cents or less
and who are willing to buy it up
against the time when they can rea-
lize long profit. :ia
There. are many farmers who will
continue to sell at .S5 cents and who
will continue to sell even at lower
figures, which is their right. <
But farmers who think cotton ought
TO bring more and who are willing to
do what is necessary to make it bring
more. are very foolish in our opinion
to take 35 cents or less.
In spite of the advantage the spin
ners have secured in piling up great
wads Of cotton at 35 cents, there is
coming another day of need during
the next few, months, and the next
squirt will probably take the price
still higher. 7't's9si p f.Js2ts2ay
+ We would not adyise any man who
owes money to withhold his cotton
from the payment of his debts; but
most people who have cotton now can
arrange to pay their debts without
selling their cotton, and according to
our way Of looking at the situation
this is good time to warehouse the
cotton, borrow money, If necessary to
pay debts, don't borrow unless neces-
sary; but in any event hold the cotton
until the price gets nearer right. 8
Somebody Is going to, make a big
profit out of the present cotton crop
and the farmer might as well make
1t as anybody else.

Collective Bardainine.

The biggest problem, indeed the one
problem, before the national indus
trial conference in session in Wash
ington, involves the right Of collective
bargaining, insisted upon by organic
ed labor. but which certain represen77
tatives Of capital are inclined to deny.
BY collective bargaining is meant
the right Of the labor of any employer,
whether an individual, company firm
or corporation. to take up with that
employer, through duly chosen repre-
sentatives, questions involving hours
of labor, wages, personal conduct, and
other matters of concern between en-
ployer and employe. -
That the employer should hold to
the primitive idea that he alone should
have the right and power to adjust all
matters as between his employe and
himself, is at least natural. If not al
together reasonable. 1t is natural be-.
cause 1t has been sanctioned so long
by usage. tss,sss;,.4. ss,.,.ss... =
And the common argument OF the
employer, that since there are plenty
of other people that can get to do
your work, and if you do not like ii
you can quit, also seems natural to
some people, so natural in fact that,
they simply will not see anything else.
Where there is but one employer
and one employee, or even two or three
employees, of course II Is a plain pros
osition of agreement, and II an agree
ment cannot be reached, then there is
nothing left but a dissolution of rela-
tions.
But in the case Of one employer. or
one representative of a collection of
employers having. to do with a aNarge
number Of employees, the representa-
tive of the employers Is naturally con-
cerned more about dividends than he
is about the rights and personal con-
Germs of employees; and it is but logi-
cal that the rights and concerns of
employees should be committed to the
charge of those best qualified to safe
guard the same, and who could that
be other than some fellow employe or
employees recognized by the majority
as possessed Of the necessary quail
fications for such duty?
1t will have to be admitted that the
system is open to many objections
from the standpoint of the human
equasion; but in spite Of this, it is
the best thing that can be done, and
employers can do no better than
recognize the fact. t.' ~ q;
