COTTON CONVENTION
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Plans for Organization of County Co.
operative Marketing Association
Will Soon Be Under Way.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 4.-Return-
ing to Atlanta today from Montgom-
cry officials of the American Cotton
Association declared that the session
OF three days which has just closed in
the Alabama city was highly success
tul and many important questions af-
fecting the cotton producer were set
tied.
One of the most important actions
taken was the adoption af plans for
cooperative marketing of the staple.
Included in the plans is the organiza,
ton OF county cooperative marketing
associations; sale through the asso-
citation of cotton directly to spinners;
cotton to be pooled by the growers in
the association. 1t calls for graders
and statesmen who are experts. The
organization of the county co-opera-
tive associations will be begun i'm
mediately.
One of the big features of the con-
vention was the address of ]. S. Wan,
namaker, national president of the as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Wannamaker declar-
id that the present cotton situation
IS more serious for the South than
is generally realized and compared
It to the reconstruction period. The
cotton crop is the costliest in his
tory he declared. He stated further
that the law of supply and demand
in the cotton market has not been TAX
en- into account, due to Combination
OF bear gamblers, spot manipulators,
and enormously powerful vested in
terests" and that should the law of
supply and demand be permitted to
work the selling price of cotton would
be above its production cost and a
sufficient supply of cotton" should
be the chief concern of those indus
tries engaged in its consumption.
Mr. Wannamaker said that the rem
edy to the situation is to be found
IN cooperative marketing and hold
ing, and declared that what the Sou
them farmer should do is to have or
ganization, to cut down acreage, to
hold his cotton and to market his own
cotton.
The Alabama Division, during the
session of the convention, adopted the
plan of placing a tax of ten cents a
bale on each bale of cotton ginned in
the State of alabama, the tax to be
utilized by the body for the purpose
OF financing the Alabama Division. 1t
is expected that other state divisions
will take similar action when meetings
are held in the various states.
Both President R. w. Mattox and
Sceretary-Treasurer w. H. Lathrop,
Jr., of the Georgia Division of the
cotton association, who are back at
their desks today in the Kiser building
were enthusiastic over the success Of
the Montgomery convention and de-
clared that as the result of the rec
concentrations taken by the national
division the producers in this state
and throughout the cotton belt will
follow line of conduct in handling
their product that will put millions
of dollars in the producers pockets
which might otherwise go to oppos-
ing interests.

Union which consisted of a miniature
engine, the product of Chas. Manooch,
mounted on a truck, and followed on
foot by members of the local union.
Preston Local No. II, the embrio

attracted much attention. The float
of of the B. R. c. of A., the Black
smiths Union, Sheet, Metal Workers,
Boilermakers, all fitted up represent
ing the Trades were all interesting,
and spoke for the interest aroused in
the day we celebrate.
Hon. ]. G Jones Makes Address
Two thousand people assembled at
the park where Hon. J. Gordon Jones,
Nhe speaker of the day, was introduced
by Col. E. G. Keefer. Mr.. Jones spoke
of the origin of the day, it's import
ance in the life of American labor, Off
cially recognized by Congress in the
establishment of this day.
The speaker fully Endorsed the eff

lection, and gave it as his opinion that
the time will arrive when every farmer
will belong to an organization for the
protection of his interests and the ad-
vancement of agriculture. Mr.. Jones
spoke for about an hour, being fire.
} quently interrupted by applause from
his au,Sence.

and the guest of Organized Labor.
and it is probable that the Unions will
annually celebrate their holidays in
this city in the future.

Commenting on Sherman Rogers I'M
usually interesting article, Hello
Central story of the faithfulness
efficiency and heroism of the telephone
g ri in ''Tha Outlook, A L. Berry,
President of the C & P. Telephone
Company said fright here in and
around WASH ,gton we have the very
type Of telepho operators about
whom Mr.. Rogers has written so vivid
ly."
"They have struck to their jobs at
all times. They have kept the service
going dry and night, when storms made
it almost impossible for them to get to
work and influenza among their associ-
ates must have been powerful tempta-
ton to stay in the comfort AND safety
of their own homes. 1t is remarkable
feat, in my opinion, that in every sort
of emergency, these girls of ours have
maintained local telephone service with
out break.
"Most people realize what an impor-
tant factor the telephone girl has become
in their lives but few don't. She is
very human, of course, and like the rest
of us makes occasional mistakes. But
this article brings out very strikingly
the fact that our young women are on
the Job all the time and do their level
best to keep on giving good service"
