BALES
COTTON CO OVER

Washington, Feb. 15.-The worlds
carry over of cotton at the end of
the 192O-21 cotton year, July 81,
next, will be 1O,64s,55O bales, bas-
ed on the present rate of consump-
tion the market reporter of the De-
partment of Agriculture announces.
A previous estimate based on the
second forecast of Ihdia's crop was
1,eO9,2OO bales higher. India's third
forecast showed a crop that was
much smaller because of decreased
acreage and unfavorable weather.
A second estimate of the carry
over, basing the calculation on rs per
cent reduction in consumption for
the first five months-August to De-
cember-and on a rate equal to that
of the previous year for the remain
ing seven months-January to July
places the amount at 8,057,O08 bales

WATER AND LIGHT
PLANT TO OCOUNC|L

Four or five years ago the City
Council decided to turn the water and
light plant over to a Board of Com
missioners of Public Works, and ac-
cordingly without consulting anyone
else an Act was passed at the request
of council making provision for this.
1t seems now that the City Coun-
Gil s\again dissatisfied for an Act
has been passed at the request of the
members to abolish the Commission
ers of Public Works and to put the
management of the water and light
plant in the hands of the City Coun-
Gil.
At present, the Commissioners of
Public Works are ]. L. Mcmillan, j.
Allen Long and W. H. White. These
automatically go out of office upon
approval of the Act passed. They
become statesmen without jobs.
The Water and Light plant is stat
ed by Chairman Mcmillan to be in a
prosperous condition at present. No
money has been made the last few
months on account of extraordinary
expenses due to the tearing up Of the
ines on account of the regarding of
the streets. But none that these ex-
penses are over Chairman Mcmillan
thinks the Water and Light Plant
can maintain itself and turn into the
ity something like 100000 per
month. It is prepared+to do this the
present month, Mr.. Mcmillan says.
In addition to this the city is secur-
ing water and lights for all public

Will REARGUE
G0SSET> CASE

Reargument of the Kenneth Cos
sett case before the state supreme
court will be necessary, it was learn
ed yesterday, due to the refusal OF
the attorneys for the appellant to
agree to allow two absent justices
who did not hear the arguments to
participate in the findings of the
court, =
The, Gossett case was argued be-
fore the court last fall, but at the
time Chief Justice Gary and the late
Associate Justice Gage were not
present, and upon the death of Asso-
ciate Justice Hydrick it was announc-
ed that unless, attorneys for both
sides agreed to let Justice Gary and
Justice Gage participate a reargu-
ment would be necessary. Since then
Justice Gage has also died.
Benham and Price and Gen. M. L.
Bonham, attorneys for Gossett, who
is now in the penitentiary under a
40 years sentence for alledged crimi-
nalassault on a young white woman
of Abbeville, refused to allow the
participation of the absent justices
and by this refusal the case will be
reargued at the next term of the
court.-The State, 18th.

SUPREME EFFORT IS
MADE BY LEADERS
JEWELL ASKS BOARD TO AL
LOW EMPLOYEES UNTIL
MARCH IA TO COMPLETE RE-
BUTTAL-IN OPPOSITION TO
DRIVE OF EXECUTIVES-RE-
QUESTS FOR TIME

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Labor today
appeared before the railroad labor
board in a supreme effort to check
the railway executives drive against
national agreements.
This drive, B. M. Jewell, chairman
of the employees committee, de-
clared, was intended to obscure the
fundamental issues at stake, which,
the employers have declared, were
the open shop movement and an at
tmpt to crush organized labor. .
MI. Jewell requested the board to
allow the employees until March ID
to complete their rebuttal to the OBJ
jections to national agreements
made by the roads. He also pro-
posed that the whole case be thrown
out of court and the points taken up
in conference between the carriers
and employees.
Protest Immediately was entered
by T. w. White of the carriers COM
mittee against delay and to any pro-
posals of further conferences. He
declared that the question the board
now faced was merely whether these
agreements should be continued.
Frank P. Walsh counsel for the
brotherhoods in an address likened
the principles being laid down by
the labor board to those of tie su-
preme court in its early history. He
said that the utterances and acts of
railway executives indicated, that if
not restrained, the executives would
''render the transportation act
emasculated and abortive this board
will be destroyed in so far as its ef-
ficient functioning is concerned and
we shall have endless turmoil and
instability in the railroad industry"
Mr.. Walsh declared that if the
carers did not comply with the law,
the employees would inform the
public as to "the real situation" in
an attempt to prevent congress
from enacting law for financial re-
lief of the railroads. "At this mo-
ment the carriers are attempting to
dip their hands into the United
States treasury and extract the
enormous sum Of $750,000,00o
which is only their initial effort
Mr.. Walsh asserted,
The speaker reiterated the right
of the employees to organize and
act as unit and declared such action
was contemplated in the transporia-
tion act.
The hearing adjourned until Mon
day. Meanwhile executives of the
railroads will gather here tomorrow.

F0RDNEY'S MEASURE
IS FINDING TROUBLE
REcoMEs INVOLVED IN LEGIs'
IATIVE JAM. MASSACHU-
sETTs MEMBER SAYS HE is
AFRAID PRESIDENT MAY
SIGN TARIFF MEASURE
HELD UP IN HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Ford
ney emergency tariff bill, with its
burden of senate amendments got
back to the house today only to get
snagged in legislative jam leaving
its Immediate future uncertain.
Soon after Chairman Fordney of
the ways and means committee had
started for St. Augustine, Fla, to
consult President-elect Harding
about patting through second
emergency tariff as stop gap mea-
sure, acting Chairman Green sought
to compete the house formalities OF
sending the first bill to conference.
Obtaining recognition just before
the house adjourned, Representative
Green asked the house to disagree
with senate amendments and that a
conference committee be named.
Representative Treadway, Republi-
can, Massachusetts,, failed to give
the necessary unanimous consent
and .hasty conference followed. Mr..
Green sought to get the Massachu-
sets member to- withdraw objection.
Failing in that Mr.. Green enlisted
the support Of Representative Mon
dell, Republican floor leader, who
also attempted to untangle the situ-
alton but nothing came Of It.
The Fordney bill thus was. left
over night with three possibilities,
all depending upon maneuvers by
Republican leaders; it may be sent
to conference by vote of the house,
referred again to the ways and
means committe, or an attempt may
be made to have the house concur in
the senate amendment.
Mr.. Treadway was said by several
members to have expressed t. house
leaders a fear that the president
1'might sign that bill and get the
whole Republican party in hole"
he also is said to have told the lead
ers that he regarded statements of
Senator Underwood minority leader
that the president would veto the
measure as "pure bait," explaining
that had the president intended We
toing the bill such inspired" state
ments would not have been made.
As for the second emergency mea-
sure, which if approved by Mr.. Har-
ding, is to be rushed through the ex-
ira session ahead of all other legis-
lative, Republican leaders were ap-
parently in accord. 1t is proposed to
to make it comparable to a perma-
nent tariff bill in scope and effect,
and its rates according to the pro-
gram, will be based on information
gathered in the hearings just con-
cluded. =
The president-elect will be urged
to lend his support to the PROPOSE
tion on the ground that checking of
the imports through an additional
tariff would permit revival of Am
erican industries now complaining
of heavy importations and that it al
