tributed considerable buying incentive.
However, there appeared tendency to
take profits on scale up, which served
to prevent any appreciate gain in quo
tations. The trade, as whole seemed
inclined to await some new develop
ment before charging their commit
ments to any extent on either side. The
belief prevails in conservative circles
that another week, or rather resump-
ton of rainy weather, will start prices
on a vigorous upward move, in that
new crop preparations already are
from five to almost eight weeks behind
and unless a long period of bright,
sunny weather prevails in the immed-
late future the delay can never be
half made up The later the start is
made, the more danger there is of the
crop being nipped by frost in the
fall.
The new crop situation is made even
more bullish by experts who assert
that boil weevils will prove a serious
menace this season, owing to the rainy
weather and the past experience the
farmers have had with this pest It's an
old proverb that the weevil RACES every
third year. This is the third year. 1t
also has been an extraordinarily mild
winter
This, together with the determine
ton of the South to hold down the
acreage SO 1-9 per cent from last year,
coupled with the scarcity of labor and
no prospects for it to become more
plentiful, will render a tremendous
aid in turning out small crop, which

COTTON NEWS
DAILY GROWING
MORE BULLISH
By Victor Barron.
'(MARKET CORRESPONDENT OF
THE TIMES-RECORDER.)


ATLANTA, March Nervousness
and irregularity featured the cotton
market this week with business of a
fairly large volume, From the high
levels of Monday the market broke ma
terially, but toward the weekend a
strong undertone developed with de-
mand coming from strong sources. Liv-
erpool, spot firms, trade houses and
shorts. Offerings, while more or less
free, came principally from Wall street
and commission houses. However, they
met ready absorption.
The principal underlying factor back
of the late recoil was the decidedly
better news from domestic and foreign
goods centers In addition to this, ad-
vices from many sections of the belt,
especially from New Orleans speaking
of increased demand for the actual
and report that Liverpool is sending
in offers for spots, worked in favor Of
the market. Peace news was more
favorable, and the feeling prevailed
that restrictions on exports soon will
be removed.
The failure of the census report on
Thursday to show crop of 100000
disappointed New Workers and other
bear followers, as they had shaped ev-
erything for a big tumble, but the fig
ures of 11,8SS,13S bales were in line
with conservative expectation and
brought out a brisk demand for con-
tracts from parties who anticipated
selling on the report.
Fianl prices on the New York ex-
change Friday were unchanged to 20
points higher on near and 20 to 95
points lower en- distant old contracts
from the closing of a week ago. New
style options finished the week 3
points higher to 50 points lower. Flu
lures at New Orleans were 35 to IS
points lower on old and AZ to 81
points down on new.

for more coming on the belt also con-

GIVE THEM A SEA VOYAGE

This season of the year one recalls
the voyage of the Mayfower, which
brought seekers of freedom to these
shores. 1t is time for return trip,
bearing enemies of freedom from the
same shores.
Emma Goldman, Alexander Berk-
man and others of the bred have re-
ceived their discharges and are out of
uniform. They served duration
terms in safe places, safe for them
and safe for u.s.. and the uniform they
wore was not O. d. or Navy Blue.
The government speaks of deporting
the Reds it locked up during the war.
What we want to see is the names of
these undesirables on an early sailing
schedule.
The Goldman-Berkman firm will

they were sowing their seeds of de-
struction and anarchy and laying the

ESCH BILL

After six months of work, the
House Irttol state Commerce Commit
tee HIS reported out railroad biD
that is full of inconsistencies as a
sieve is full of holes, in the opinion
of Representative Jared Y. Sanders
former governor of Louisiana
The bill, which was up in the
House this week, was attacked for it's
many Inconsistencies in a speech on
the floor of the House by Mr.. Sanders,
who pointed out numerous reasons
why it will utterly fail to solve the
railroad problem, with which the Re-
publican controlled committee has
now been wrestling for half year.
The bill before the House, known
as the Esch bill, contains, among
other things, a provision that when
the roads are turned back to their
owners and the time for settlement
arrives. whatever the government
may owe the roads must be paid in
cash, but if the roads owe the govern
ment anything, the latter must take
their notes for ten years for it.
''The bill that comes before you
said Mr.. Sanders in his speech at
tacking the bill. known as the Merritt
amendment, stripped of it's verbiage,
laid bare of technical phrases,
means that when we come to a settle
ment with the railroads we must pay
them on the nail dollar for dollar.
whatever we owe them, but we can
not say to the railroads, we owe you
S50000,000 but you owe us $4,000
600 and we will pay you $4,000 900,
and the railroads will then be able to
say, after a while we will get to-
gether and we will figure on the $780,
100000, and then we will give you our
note for it, and you can collect it if
the property is solvent Why, it
does not even prescribe in this bill /,

THE MISSION OF THE 1. w. W.

Resolution No 1 passed by the last
convention in it's effort to rid the or

of l. w. w. influences The truth
and urgent necessity of that resolu-
tion and action by the contention
will be brought more forcibly to the
minds of the membership as time
goes by until it is universally endors-
ed. The convention at Miami passed
a resolution which was ratified by the
membership which in effect declared
that any member proven to be an /.

port his own newspapers, and not try

which Mr.. Sanders protested is
that known as the standard re-
turn" provision, guaranteeing a fixed
return on the investment to the roads
for a period of six months after the
passage of the act Under the provi-
sions of this bill the road that makes
more than the guaranteed standard
return may place the excess in it's
treasury, but the poorer road, the
railroad that does not make tht
standard return, may present its
voucher to the government which
will make up it's loss.
'Can you beat it?" asked Mr.. San
ders. "Can you justify it? Here is
a railroad that makes 80 per cent
That is fine business. They take
that and put it in their pockets
Here is another that makes less
than the standard return, and we sa.
that is all right; we will make it III

What contended for in the committee
and what 1 contend for here is that
if you are going to protect this stand

passage of this act, there is but one
fair and just way of doing it. Dc
not exempt the prosperous and take in
only the poor. Take them all in for
six months, just as you did under the
Federal Control act. Let the
government get the advantage OF
what the rich roads are going to
make, as the government will have
to make up the deficit of the poor
road. There is not line in the
provision that l have discussed that
is placed there for the benefit of the
