POWER OF BOARD
in DISCUSSION
Erie Railroad Case Heard At Chica-
go-Order Not-Obeyed

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Sharp con-
tention over the powers of the Uni
ted States railroad labor board and
the provisions of the transportation
act marked the hearing of employ
ees of the Erie railroad against their
employers before the board today.
The petition of the employees
charged violation of the act and of
the labor board. Representatives of
the road denied both. The case re-
suited from an order effective Feb
ruary L, recitine common labor
wages and deducting one days pay
a week from the salaries of all en-
ployees paid on monthly basis.
Most of the argument centered
about whether a ruling of the board
ON February IL, ordering the road
to make no change in wage rates
was compulsory upon the road
which had already put a reduction
into effect. It was conceded by the
railroad that the intent of the order
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-02-25

were confined to the establishment
Of just and reasonable wages.
This sweeping denial of authori-
ty in hands of the board brought
from U. S. Bratton, attorney for
the employees, denunciation of the
railroads stand, and the declara-
tion that if there was no authority
to enforce the boards decision as IN
ended by Mr.. Adams, the employees
would endeavor to find a way to
make the Erie pay"
The case brought out The most d.
versified argument yet offered in
any hearing before the board on
wage matters.

FACTS ABOUT COTTON

Production of cotton in Russia is
confined almost exclusively to the
Asiatic provinces of Turkestan and
Transcaucasia.
Since the outbreak of the Great
War in 1914 production of cotton in
Russia has averaged about 100000
bales annually.
World carry-over at July 81, 1920
of cotton grown outside of the Unit
ed States was 100000 bales great
er than it was at the end of the pre-
vious year.
World carry-over at July 81, 1920
of cotton grown in the United States
according to Hester, was 6,O86,0O0
bales.
During the year 1919 the proper
tion of worlds mill supply of cotton
contributed by each country was as
follows: United States 56.7 per cent.
British India 22.4 per cent; Egypt
SO per cent; China 81 per cent;
Brazil 2.S per cent; Russia 2.2 per
cent; all other 4.3 per cent

depression and revenues below oper-
ating expenses were given as the
reason for the reduction order.
During his testimony, R. S. Par
sons, general manager for the road,
was asked by Henry T. Hunt, pub
lie member of the board, whether
the roads position meant that it
would not obey the orders of the
board.
"We can't do it," Mr.. Parsons re-
piled. "We want to do everything
possible to go along with the board,
but l don't know what we would do
if the board issued impossible or
ders."

Erie railroad, explained the roads

The Spanish invader in 1919 found

World production Of cotton for
factory consumption in 1919 was l.
100000 bales greater than the a.
mount consumed.
World consumption of American
cotton is running 25 per cent below
what it did last year, but the estimat-
ed production, government figures is
1862, 900 bales greater.
There is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun, to last nearly two
years.
Cotton is produced extensively in
many sections of China. Most of it
is spun by hand in the homes of the
people, but reliable estimates place
the quantity of Chinese cotton from
the crop of 1919 which reached COM
mercial channels at 100000 bales.
During the years 1862 and 1868

Aside from the viewpoint Of COM

will greatly increase our yields
which viii return a good profit for
the time and attention that must

may be content TO plant just any

The one great need Of this coun-
try is a better and more uniform
grade. Of cotton. This can best be
accomplished by standardizing our
cotton, that is, by selecting some
one or two varieties Of cotton and
growing them exclusively, selecting
the planting seed each year, and
then keeping them pure. There are
relatively few varieties Of cotton
that are really adapted TO this To-
cality and out Of this small number
one or two outstanding varieties
should be selected.
This country is not and likely
viii never be adapted to the pro
duction Of long staple cotton on
account of our short growing sea
sons and climatic conditions. Our
local experiment station has been
testing many varieties 0f cotton for
number Of years and has found
that only occasionally viii a long

also been determined which Of the

Need For Production Of More Pure
Seeds

Secde
The more progressive and think
ing men of this county are coming
TO realize the urgent necessity Of
producing more pure seed in this
country for the double purpose Of
supplying the home needs and 20
furnish our less fortunate neighbors
in other parts Of the State. In the
course Of time a splendid market
can be developed for Plains grown
seed of all kinds. This is the best
adapted section of Texas for the
production Of Sudan, Grain Sor-
ghums, Sweet Sorghums, and most
any other variety Of field seed that
can be mentioned. In the more
humid sections Of the State these
sorghums cannot be grown for seed
on account Of the Sorghum Nudge
that attacks the plants when in the
bloom and blasts the seed. Also
our climatic conditions makes this
country especially adapted 70 seed
production. Every year many many
tons Of cotton seed are brought into

From every section of the country
comes to Washington, it is said, re-
ports of tremendous reductions in in
come during the year 1920, indieat-
ing the income tax will be a relative
ly small producer of revenue during
1921. In a multitude of instances the
income reports of large merchants will
show net Losses instead of profits, due
to the depreciation in values of stocks
on hand. Few merchants will show
considerable profits when these de-
auctions are made. Scarcely farmer
of any sort-cotton grower, grain
grower. stockman or fruit producer
will report a taxable income for the
year 1920. The consequence will be
an enormous reduction in the reve-
nue. from the income tax. The excess

lieved, will be practically imperative.
These conditions were forecast, some
time ago. but congress has not given
heed to the warning. Instead of set

the secretary to go ahead making
short time loans at high rates of in

law would have done away with the

Topeka's need of a larger auditorium
again, was demonstrated last Thursday
evening when hundreds of citizens
were unable to gain admission to the
concert given by the music division of
the wornan's club. Steps should be
taken toward obtaining a suitable site
for a new building before real estate
prices go higher. The best location in
the city for an auditorium was per-
mftted to pass into the hands of the
club women. 1t will now be necessary
to go farther and pay more. We can
not afford to delay.
