EUROPE: READY ID
 TAKE ALL COTTON,
 BUT LACK CREDIT
President of New Orleans Cot ton Exchange Says 40 Gents Could Be Realized If
 Credit Arranged
By Associated Press

Washington. January 10.-Central Europe would buy the entire southern cotton crop at 40 cents a pound to- day if proper credit conditions could be arranged, F. $. Butler, president or the New Orleans cotton exchange. de- ciared today before the House agricui- tural committee Opposing the bills before the committee which wo1id eliminate all speculation in cotton fu- lures on exchanges, MT. Butler said ia rmers six months ago could have sold their entire crop of cotton at 55c "a pound
 Elimination of all speculation in fti~ lure trading would be disastrous to cotton producers and to the tra1e generally. since it would force ex- Ichanges to close, MT. Butler asserted Regulatory legislation enacted Tn the United states could not affect the fu- tture cotton market at Liverpool, Eng. he added, and it would leave the for~ leign spinners in control of this mar ket and they would be able to dlctate the price of cotton.
 !, America and Europe for 40 years have recognized the future trading as

 the farmers to find a market for thelr commodity at any time during the year. The legitimate specuia.or is Ithe only buffer" between the farmer and the consumer, whose interests gre idiametrically opposed. he continued,
 ACT SATISFACTORY The United States cotton futures act has been satisfactory to the trade, MT. Butler asserted, adding that it bene~ fitted the spinners, if anyone. He did said, in reply to questions from Rep> resentative Caroway, democrat, Ar kansas.
 Decline of cotton prices was due to impoverished conditions abroad and unsettled financial conditions and not to the future market, MT. Butler as-
 serted He said the present futures market tended to lift up the price of Icotton.
 No considerable number of growers of cotton hedge" directly. but 'ner- chants and factors who finance .hem do. Mr. Butler declared. adding tLis was the truth throughout Mississippi and Louisiana.
 ! He placed the cost of transporting cotton to Germany at $1o per bale and said if exchange conditions were 'rer-s mai and credit available not only all the cotton crop. but the sugar, rico
 and oeher agricultural products could be sold abroad.
 Edgar B. Stern of New Orleans de- clared closing of the cotton exchanges
 would be calamity to the soath. .,'

U. & NOT TO WAIVE RESTRICTIONS IN CASE STOWAWAY LORD MAYOR
 TEMPORARILY ADMITTED ON PAROLE
Continuation of Controversy Between State and Labor Departments Indicated In Latest Developments In O'CaIIaghan Case
By Associated Press

Washington, January lO.- Passport restrictions will not be waived by the state depart ment to permit entrance to the United States of Daniel J. O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who on his arrival last week at Newport News as a stowaway and without pass port, was temporarily admitted on parole by order of the labor department.
 The state departments decision, an nounced today by Acting Secretary Davis, brought forth the assertion by labor department officials that jurisdic- ton in the case still rested exclusively with the Secretary of Labor This indi-
 cated a continuation of the contro- which has been more or less apparent ever since the landing of the Cork lord mayor on American soil.
 Secretary Davis, in making his an- nouncement, said that he concurred in the opinion of the solicitor of his de- partment, as forwarded to him today,
 that there was no reason to make an
 exception in the case of OCallaghan as regards his admission without a pass port. He said he was communicating lhis decision to Secretary of Labor Will son and added the intimation that his department. acting under the war time powers given the President to regulate the entry of aliens, might recommend that the department of justice be called upon to deport the Irish mayor.
 WILSON CLAIMS JURISDICTION Labor department officials asserted that Secretary Wilson did not recognize that the case of Buckingham had yet |.come within Jurisdiction of the state department. inasmuch as he had not formal lily referred it to. Secretary paws Secretary Wilson had not begun his Reconsideration of the case today, and 1t Twas said that he would not take 1t under advisement until it had come to him through the regular channels or the department At the state depart ment 1t was said delay of the Secretary of Labor in rendering decision after having paroled Buckingham would per init the lord mayor to accomplish ms mission of testifying before the com mission from the committee of one hun dred investigating the Irish question regardless of whether he may be event ually deported.
 Officials of the labor department de- clared that should the Secretary of La : bor find Buckingham inadmissable to | the United States on immigration grounds. 1t would not be necessary for l the Secretary to refer the waiving of passport restrictions to the state de- partment. Should the Secretary find the lord mayor admissible. however, he would then be called upon to decide lwhether the exclusion of O'Callaghan from the United States for having en- tered without passport. was ques- 1 tion to be passed upon by the state de- partment

CHARGE RAILROADS ARE IN CONSTR Employees Say Carriers De- frauding Public Through
 Cost-PIus System
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 10.-Charges that American railroads are in a conspiracy to create unemployment and are defraud- ing the American people out of millions O. dollars through operation of a cost plus system of contracts with equipment and repair companies, were made today by representatives of employees of the roads, appearing before the railroad la tor board The railroad operators pre- sented counter testimony all afternoon and will conclude their statement tomor- row
 The employees charges. which declared 80 per cent of the railroadI mileage in the country was controlled by the Nor gan Steel interests. asserted that main tenance costs had been inflated at the expense of the pubic. This was done, according to the statement of B. M Jewell, head of the railway employees de- partment of the American Federation of Labor, by letting contracts to equipment companies controlled by the same banks that control the railroads" o
 Under the guarantee of the Esch- Cummings act, the alleged inflated COSTS constitute a fraud against the United States government and operated to throw out tof employment more than 5OOOO skilled railway employees" MT Jewell said.
 Z Declaring that phe charges had ,o relevancy to the hearing on rules and working conditions under consideration before the board, E. T.. Whiter chair man of the managers committed of the railroads. asserted that they were made ito divert public attention from the mat ters in controversy"
 EXAMPLE RECITED
 Examples, designed to snow inequalities in present rules were recited in detail by MT. Winter. He declared the present na- tional agreements should not in the in- terests of honest, efficient and econom:- ca. management, be continued longer. and said universal applications of their provisions was impracticable because the only parties fully qualified to consider such reguia tions are the individual man 7 agements and the employees themselves.
 MT. Winter urged a return to the piece work plan. He. declared that was rec ognzed as the most efficient method of operation and attempted to show what had been accomplished under the piece work system as compared with the same work now done by the hour
 Specified hours and restricted starting times were deplored in numerous exam ples brought out to show. Mir. Winter said uneconomical practice. Overtime and extra shifts were cited on several roads to show that the work done could be performed by regular shifts in reg Z ular hours if the roads were not re4 stricted by the present rules.

WISCONSIN LEADS IN
JUNIOR RED CROSS

Wisconsin is proud of the fact that
it now has the largest number of jul
nior Red Cross organizations and school
auxiliaries than any other state in the
central division. The last report on
chapter enrOllmentS since school began
was As organized chapters and 2.461
school auxiliaries.
Encouraged by it's excellent record
so far, the Junior committees are de-
termined to make this a record year.
They are centering their forces in all
the schools and are carrying out an
unusual fine program as the school
year advances.
Realizing that garments are still
sadly needed by millions of destitute
children in the war-swept regions of
Europe, the girls are plying nimble
fingers to exceed their work of last
year. The boys are engaged in max
ing toys and furniture for the poor
families of Europe.
The Wisconsin committees are
broadening out this year and are car
rying the work into the remote dis
tricts where they are investigating the
living conditions of the poorer fam
lily, and supplying them with necessi-
tnes whenever needed. There have
been many instances where the juniors
have found the children living with
in their school district, in want of
clothes and food land they have come
to the front and met these wants.

BADGER HEALTH
-CENTERS BUSY
Many Campaigns Are Now Being
Conducted to Teach Public
How to Keep Well.


The health center of the American
Red Cross chapters is considered in
dispensable in Wisconsin. This is evil
denced by the large number of cases
handled
About 10000 people in Brown coun-

health center has been-opened at Green
Bay. The center is operated by the
combined efforts of the Red Cross. the
city health department and the state
disease departments. There are IL
paid workers represented in the activi-
ties, which include general health, den
tai clinics and general health work.
The majority of the chapters have
planned health campaigns throughout
the state. Many already are under
way In many instances free dental
clinics for children will be operated
