COTTON OIL MEN
PLAN TO CONFER
ON QUOTATIONS

Cottonseed oil and cottOnseed meal
men Of Atlanta are planning further
conference with the department. of
agriculture at Washington in regard
to the recent order of the department
requiring the reduction of the price
of cottonseed meal to the quotations
of October 6, it was announced Tues
day. The ruling of the department,
it was stated, will result in consider
able loses to dealers In the product
and to the farmer.
1t was stated by J. II. Taylor. pres
ident of the Taylor Commission COM
pany, that the order of the depart
rnent had brought his business to a
sta1dstill and would result ir. large
reductions in the price of cottonseed
sold by the farmer. G. L. c. Thomas,
secretary of the Empire Cotton Oil
company, stated that the order I'M
doubtedly would cause losses to the
mills who had purchased cotton seed
at prevailing prices and would cause
| the farmer to lose through the reduc-
ton of the price Of cotton seed.
The purpose of the government, it
was stated by Mr.. Thomas, is to re-
duce the price of fertilizer to the
farmer, but the cottonseed meal and
oil interests contend that the meal
should be considered as a feedstuft
and not included in the order educ,
| ing the prices of fertilizer.
A committee of Atlanta men, COM
| posed of H. E. Watkins, l.. G. Neal
w. M. Hutchinson and ]. H. Taylor
was in Washington on October anG
| 7, in opposition to the lowering OF
cottonseed meal prices, but no &C.
! ton was takeE at that time.
Since then the price of cottonseet
meal has advanced from $64 to 81.
a ton, Mr., Taylor stated, and cottoY
seed have advanced from $40 to SO,
and 800 ton In a letter from
Washington last week it was ordered
that cottorseed meal should not b.
sold higher than the price quoted /;
October, under penalty of prosecution
| under the control law.

from L. N. Geldert, secretary of tn
International Cotton Seed Crushers
association, stated that the depart
ment was still firm in requiring TIL

DECLARES GEORGIA
| WITHOUT LAWS
ION PROFITEERING

Whatever steps are taken in Geor-
gia to reduce the cost of living will
have to be taken by the federal
authorities, since Georgia has no
laws on the subject of profiteering,
boarding, ETC., it was stated Wednes-
day by Attorney General Clifford
Walker in discussing the statewide
cost of living conference to be held
Thursday morning in the house of
representatives in the capitol.
1.-THE conference was called at the
request of Mr.. Palmer. the United
States attorney general" said Mr..
Walker, 'for the purpose of secur-
ing cooperation between the state
and federal authorities in the eff
fort to reduce the cost Of living.
Mr.. Palmer will not be able to at
tend the conference, as he intend
ed, because of the coal strike and
other matters in Washington. He
will send representative from the
department of justice. The state,
of course, stands ready to cooper
ate with the federal government.
but the state authorities can do
nothing, for they have no laws re-
lating to the present situation"
In addition to the representative
to be sent here from Washington
by Attorney General Palmer, the
department of justice will be rep
resented by Hooper Alexander and
John W. Bennett, United States
district attorneys for the northern
and southern districts of Georgia,
respectively.
The call for the meeting was
sent to solicitors general of the su-
perior courts of Georgia, to mayors
Of cities and towns, and to chair
men and members of county fair
price committees.

Espionage Law Is
Upheld by Decision

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
supreme court Monday held that con-
gress did not exceed it's authority
in enacting the espionage law
The action was taken in unfolding
the decisions of lower courts against
Jacob Abrams and others who were
convicted of circulating revolution
airy and disloyal leaflets in English
and Yiddish in Manhattan.
The leaflets published in August,
1918, in general urged the American
workers to overthrow the govern
ment and join in the Russian soviet,
the government showed. Signed by
''The Rebels" the pamphlets urged
a general strike because the presi-
dent had not recognized the Lenine-
Trotzky government
In making the decision the court
indicated a strong sentiment in fav-
or of UNFOLDING the department of
justice IN its campaign against revo-
lutiontsts
'"The defendants favored general
strikes and social revolution to keep
American armies at home" the court
said
The decision was seven to two,
Justices Holmes and Brandeis dis
senting in a few particulars. SEN
fences of 20 years were imposed.
