Economic Organization
Advocated for Farmers

From The Iy1bAne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Declaring
anew that politics and economic or
CARNATIONS of farmers will not mix and
that the justification Of farm organi-
cations is economic purpose, Chairman
Sydney Anderson of the Joint Congress
sional Commission of Agricultural In
quiry says this view. is being favorably
received by the substantial agricultural
interests.
Representative Anderson, who first
expressed this view several weeks ago
and who now renews it, says he is
gratifed by the fact it is being we'll
received by farmers.
"In securing whatever legislation
may be necessary to promote the farm
er's interest in this sense" said Mr..
Anderson, farm economic organiza-
tions will be much more influential
than farm political organizations. Leg
islation of itself seldom works eco
nomic results. 1t can only lay the
paper foundation for setting up the
machinery through which economic re-
suits are obtained.
"It is entirely proper for the farmer
to seek the necessary Legislative basis
for farm organizations, and | believe
that such legislation should be passed,
but hope that the struggle for legis-
lative and political advantage in the
interest of the farmer will not be per-
mitted to obscure the necessity for or
ganization along economic lines. Eco
nomic organization is infinitely more
difficult to accomplish than political or
ganization, but, once set up, it is decid-
edly more permanent and advanta-
peous"

The raw wool and woolen goods mar
kets continued to show more activity.
Prices on both the raw material and
finished goods remain unchanged, but
trade has broadened considerably and
the outlook is much brighter, accord
ing to manufacturers. One sore spot
is the dress goods market, which, be-
cause OF the comparative dullness in
the ready-to-wear trades, is less active
than other divisions. Few of the SELL
ers of women's wear cloths have yet
shown spring samples, but most of
them are expected to open the spring
selling SEASON within the next few
weeks. There is some ACTIVITY in
fabrics for this fall among the job
bers.
In mems wear lines buying for
spring needs continues on the level
established few weeks ago.

can Woolen Products Company, an ex-

Silks

The expected increase in activity
IN raw and finished silks has failed to
matorialize. Raw silk prices in pri-
mary markets have held firm, but same
shading in the local market has been
reported. Silk manufacturers here ure
said to be planning further curtsil-
ment in production unless an increa Sc
in wholesale buying sets in within the
next month. Retailers continue to be
the chief support of the market, but
their operations arc carried on in n
piecemcal manner that makes broad
manufscturing policies almost impos-
sible. Dry goods jobbers and garment
manutacturers are operating only
lightly.
The manufacturers feel that stocks of
finished silks are light throughout the
country and that a revival in demand
must come within the near future,
Based on this argument, optimism in
the trade is greater than would be the
case ii present market conditions only
were taken into consideration.
