Strike of Packing House
 Employees in Progress

Chicago Dec. 5.-At the close of the first day of the strike of pachlhS house workers, union officials an nounced that fl ,OOO workmen in pack ing houses throughout the country are on strike, while spokesmen for the hackers said Chicago plants were op- erating with full forces, while plants in other centers all continued work.
 Twenty-nine thousand workers Ill hacking house centers outside Chicago responded to the strike call today, ac- cording to Dennis Lane. secretary ot the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North Amer ica. which called the strike after wage cut averaging 10 per cent had been decided on by plant assemblies, composed of representatives of em- blowers and workers, through which the packing companies propose to settle questions affecting the work men. More than 12,000 workers em- ployed by the Big Five packers in Chicago walked out today, according to MT Lane.
 Spokesmen for the Big Five gave figures to show that only about 1000 men were out in Chicago while the number on strike at Independent plants was given by packing officials as about the same number.
 Mir Lane said that approximately 2S per cent of the Chicago workers reported for work today. I am satis- fled that tomorrow morning will see the packing establishments closed tight. because this element will join the majority" he said.

nR. KNAPP SPOKE MERE
 SATURDAY AFTERNOON
o,.ras That Cotton Pool Will GO Over the Top in Arkansas
 Has Good Hearing.

nean Bradford Knapp, Of the ooi- ,o of agriculture University or AT nansas. was in the city Saturday al- tonnoon and spoke at the courthouse o+ o'clock to a large gathering ol
 rs and business men on the Ar ,,nneas Cooperative Cotton Growers ..ooiation Movement. Dr. Knapp IS
 convincing and forceful speaker and sos an intimate knowledge of the .cnd;tions that confront the farmers os .ba state. He declared that 1t was oortoin that the cotton pool in this state would go over and that the s9Oo 900 bale pool would be an accom- n,shed fact. He made many new con- verts to the plan, and his trip here wil, result in many contracts being .dded to the 25OO bales already con- +racted before his arrival.
 Some of the points made by Dr. Knapp are as follows:
 "Tn one county in Arkansas there arc fourteen cotton buyers who in 1919 maid income taxes on total Of nall million dollars. I believe that we farmers could have done the business ourselves and more cheaply than 4hat."
 The 100000 bales cotton pool Will mean better farm homes, better rural schools and more of the comforts c1 life for all farm people,
 "It is no pleasure for me to go about the state making speeches. said Dr. interested in seeing the sons and ;ntereted in seeing the sons and daughters of the cotton farmers have 8 chance for an education, in seeing the farmer have some of the comforts of life that are denied to them under present conditions.'
 Another advantage of the assocla- ton he said, would be that farmers would deliver their cotton to the as- sociation as soon as it was ginned, thay it would be. put in warehouses and that the damage from exposure would be eliminated.
 Dr. Knapp told of the efforts of some cotton buyers to break up the cotton associations. ''They are saying that farmers haven't sense enough to or ganize," he said Let's prove to them that we have.'
 Dr Knapp said that large part of l the Arkansas quota of 100000 bales has been signed up. He declared that members of the Texas and Oklahoma cotton associations have been getting the top market prices and aid that the advance payments that the farmer re- ceived when he delivers hi cotton have proven very satisfactory in those states.
 Opening his address with a discus Fion of the history of marketing, Dr. Knapp said that the present system bas grown up in haphazard manner.
 He said that as many as 15 men ometimes handle the product from he time it leaves the producer until
 reaches the consumer.
 And every one of them takes his pill from it." he said.
 He said that the farmer, as a rule,
 compelled to sell his cotton in the
 Il and presented statistics to show bat 70 per cent of the South's cotton
The Little River news., 1921-12-07

is marketed during the last four months of he year, whle the mills must have cotton during the entire 12 months.
 T am aware that the plan 1 am urg- ing is revolutionary" said Dr. Knapp. Tt means the overturning of the pres ent order of things. But we have got to the point where the cost of distriz button is so great that the consumer thinks the farmer is getting too much. If we can close the gap between the producer and the consumer, we will have solved one of the greatest prob lens that is confronting the world"
 The most important feature of the plan of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Cotton Growers Cooperative Associa- tion, Dr. Knapp said, is the fact that the contract runs for five years. He said that it would not pay to organize for one year He pointed out that be- cause of the five-year contract, the cotton associations already organized in Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas have been able to secure large loans from the War Finance Corporation.
 Second in importance, he said, was the fact that the association will put all cotton in pools according to it's grade, and that instead of owning in- dvidual bales of cotton the association members will own an interest in the pool according g to the number of bales that they put in it. At the end of the year the members will get the average price paid throughout the year for the the pool
 Next in importance, Dr. Knapp said, was the fact that the state associa- tions do not become effective until they control enough cotton to make them factor on the market.
 He called attention to the fact that the Arkansas association will not be organized until 200,O00 or more bales are signed up.
 A fourth important feature, he sald' was the fact that the association Will be able to employ qualified men to grade staple and sell it's cotton and to nav them a fair salary He called at tention to the fact that the salafles of these men would be fixed by dlrect- ors elected by the members of the association. the farmers who raise cotton. He said that each member CT the association has but one vote, no matter how many bales he contributes to the associations. pooL Another merit of the association, he said was that only actual producers ot cotton may join the association.
 He told how difficult it is for farm CTS to decide when to sell their cot ion and said that under the associa- tion. his worry would be eliminated because the association would be feed- ing the cotton on to the market thrOuSnOut tne year.
 Another valuable feature of the association he said, would be that the farmer would get the benefit of prop CT grading of his cotton and thus get a better price for it. He said that the average grade of cotton in Oklahoma this year is full grade above what it has been graded in the past because the Oklahoma Cotton Growers Asso- citation has been able to employ ex- perts to grade cotton of it's members and buyers have been forced to do the same thing. He expressed the convic- tion that Arkansas cotton is graded on the average of one full grade below what the farmers are entitled to- Pro-
