REINFORCEMENT PLAN BRINGS
OUT A GREAT STORM OF PROTEST
House Leaders Predict That Verdict Today Will Be
Against Increasing Members to Congress,
As Proposed

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S.-Aftcr
five hours of argument the house,
like jury not required to be locked
up, went home tonight to deliberate
over the proposal to increase its
membership from 435 to 4s3.
Such 4 storm of protest was raised
however, to the bill that house lead
ers predicted the verdict tomorrow
would be against increase and for an
amendment holding seats to the pres
ent total. The debate touched every
possible point, altho Representative
Clark, former Democratic leader, de-
clared it was not different from that
heard after every decennial census
for a half century.
Rising to speak in opposition to the
bill. Representative Esch, Republican
of Wisconsin who failed of reelection
last year after a service of twenty
two years was greeted by a demon
stration.
Then he declared the house could
not justify his action in adding to the
membership to save one seat in Maine
and another in Missouri.
why can't this house have the
courage to say it will not do that?"
he asked.
The people are not so much con-
cernei with the number of repres-
entatives as they are with the ques-
ton of ability and efficiency. 1t is
not too difficult to remember the
time when Maine with four members
had more influence here than New
York with its thirty
Nearly everybody had a chance to
express his views.
Representative Montague, Demo-
crat of Virginia, declared it was
shockingly obvious to the house as it
was to the country that the house

DETAILS OF MURDER
SAID CLEARED UP

Toleda, Jan. 1s.-The details Of the
killing hero Monday of two railroad
detectives during a 5000 holdup were
disclosed today by the confession of
Ncb.. as his home. He told the police
he was in the party that killed 4. l..
Long and Louis Schroeder. He said he
had been in Toledo only three weeks
and was captured when detectives
raided a railroad mems boarding house
few hours after the killing. In his
confession, police say. Foley told how
the loot was divided in the apartment
of the sweetheart of Royce Richardson,
n negro, who is implicated by Foley's
confession and who. the police say. has
been positively identified as one of
tho bandits.

was too big now to legislate effec-
lively. Representative Clark who
goes out of office in March indorsed
the increase but announced he would
fight for a constitutional amendm en- I
which would hold the total to 500 for
all the time. Representative Mondell
OF Wyoming, Republican leader join
ed with those opposing an increase,
declaring that 'if this body is to re-
main what the fathers intended a de-
| Lucrative body. it must be kept
| reasonably small"
Some members oven from states
which stand to lose representation op-
posed the bill and insisted on the
amendment proposed by Representa-
which would keep the total as at
present This was particularly true

Listed in the losing column were:

After the house had adjourned, a
movement was started by members
from some states that would lose

out tho enacting clause of the pending
bill. This would automatically kill

Washington, May 23.-Thousands
Of bootleggers may escape punish
ment for violation of the liquor law

eral prohibition agents until July l
says Commissioner Kramer. In any
event, he added; many of the cases
will have to be continued over the
forty days, which will add to the
congestion Of already crowded
court dockets.
Most of the governments impor-
tant witnesses in the liquor cases
now before the courts, Mr.. Kramer
explained, are the agents who, work
ed up the evident against the de-
PENDANTS. Most of these men,, he
said, would return to their homes,
making it necessary either to sub
poena them and pay their way to
the places of trial or continue the
cases.
AT present, Mr.. Kramer said, it is
too soon to gauge the effect on the
illegal liquor traffic which may result
from the loss of 700 agents for for
ty days, because of the lack of funds
to pay their salaries. However, he
asserted, the cut would hurt the pro-
hibition enforcement unit in every
way and set back if not undo the
work dora in organising the force.

Mr.. Kramer said he could not pro

country during the forty-day let-off
of most Of the government agents,
but he indicated he expected some
increase Of lawlessness.

TO PoOL'COTTON CROP
80 IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Campaign to be Launched to Put
Marketing Of Southern Cotton
Crop on Business Basis

paign Ito sign up 100000 bales of
cotton to be sold through the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera-
tive Association Will be Launched in
Spartanburg and Marion counties,
according to R. C. Hamer, president
of the South Carolina Division Of
the American Cotton Association
and Chairman of the campaign COM
mittee of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association.
It would probably he around June
10, before the campaign is formally
begun, according to Mr.. Hamer. "The
contracts must be printed and a
number of other details arranged be
fore we begin actual work in the
formation of the organization" he
said.
Mr.. Hamer declared yesterday
that nothing could be offered to
the cotton growers of South Caro-
lima that is sounder, more certain of
success or which means more to
them than TIE proposal organization
of 6he South Carolina Cotton Grow
ers cooperative Association. every
cotton grower" he. declared, "knows
that the selling end Of his business is
sick. The remedy for the disease is
cooperation among growers on a
large scale.
'sThe formation of this association
means a. reduction of the tren1en-
dous Joss sustained by the farmers
of the state each year from country
damage, and reduction of the ire
mendous loss sustained through un-
degrading. The saving from these
two items alone would make the for
nation Of the association advisable
but there is in addition the increased
price which the farmers would re-
ceive through the sale Of his cotton
in pools. 1t as been found in some
states that even little local pools are
advantageous. In Texas local orga-
nizations in forty-fve counties pool
their cotton in local groups, had it
graded and stapled and sold to the
highest bidder. Growers in these for
ty-fve counties found that even pool
ing on small scale pays. They learn
ed that cooperative action of that
kind produced real cash dividends.
That is why such remarkable head
way is being made in the formation
of a. statewide pool in Texas.
'tJt is matter of more or less
common knowledge that the loss
through undergrading and failure to
pay for staple value averages more
than $40 per bale and in many cases
amounts to as much as s25 per bale.
Applying the average figure to last
years crop in South Carolina 1,2oO,-
900 bales it would he found that the
state lost approximately s12,O00,-
900 on undergrading. This was in
addition to the loss from "country
damage"
"The question has been asked as
to what other states are doing. Okla
homa has already signed up the 300
600 bales necessary for the forma-
ton of the association in that state
and is now driving for 100000. Ar
kansas is working on 100000 bale
pool. Texas is making splendid head
way on a pool Of 100000 bales.
