COTTON FUTURES LAW
Senator Dial Explains What He De.
sires tn AccomnIish --


sires to Accomplish
Senator Dial of South Carolina eX-
plaincd to the senate Tuesday his bill
to amend the cotton futures trading
act by giving buyers and sellers OF
cotton contracts the option Of rcquir-
ing delivery of half Of the cotton In
two grades. Considerable interest In
the bill, now before the: senate agri7
culture committee, was manifested by
Tr,c New England and: Western sena-.
tors. ..'.' =. =! :; -:
That the present cotton; future law
was "one-sided, unjust, unfair and not
honest" was asserted by Senator Dial;
Senator Smoot, Republican; utah.
asked whether the law had mot, been
drawn in part by Mr.: Dial's colleague,
Senator Smith. Democrat, South Car
olina, and Senator Dial replied that
the Smith Lover law was a step in
the right direction, but did not so far
enough.
Among injusticcs to cotton growers
cited by Senator Dial were statistics
of the New Orleans and New York
cotton exchanges for 1919. The sem
ator said that on the New Orleans ex-
change 33,O00,000 bales Of cotton were
sold during that year and 100000 on
the New York exchange while the
actual cotton production in 1919 was
less than 12,o0O,0OO bales. Actual de-
liveries of cotton on both exchanges.
he added. amounted tor only 100000
bales -.
Cotton consumers, Senator Dial ex-
planned, were required under the law
and the cotton exchange regulations
to accept cotton offered on: their fu-
thre contracts or be given a cash set
Element if the cotton offered was not
suitable for their purposes This prac-
ticc, he continued. resulted in over
selling in the market, depressing the
price of spot, cotton That, his: bill tc
give sellers and buyers the option oi
delivering half 'of two grades Of cot
ton would result in much less short
selling and therefore in less depression
of spot cotton, was declared, by Sen
ator Dial. .,l:i
No action was requested or .taker
on the bill, Senator Dial stating tina
he desired merely to explain thorough
ly it's provisions, and that all he wish
ed was fair and honest consideration

Union Holds Prevailing Stagna.
tion IS Due to Financial Con:
dItlons and Not to Labor.

MINNEAPOLIS. March 17.-Wage
cuts will not stimulate building indus
try. according to statement issued
by Electrical Workers union No.~292,
in reply to a demand: by contractors
that rates be reduced 20 per cent.
The proposed downward revision of
wage scales, says the statement, would
not appreciably stimulate building, be-
cause the prevailing stagnation lin the
construction n industryis principally due
to financial stringency. With interest
rates at their present high level, it
argues, building. enterprises are less
attractive to investors than specula-
tive propositions. In consequence
money to finance construction is hard
to get.
1t is further contended that, in any
case, labor costs make up smaller
proportion of building costs than is
generally believed. Construction au-
thorities are cited, to support the as
sertion that labor costs average only
"a 1-3 per cent Of the total. It is
therefore argued that a 20 per cent
reduction in wages would not affect
the total expenses sufficiently to cause
any noticeable stimulus to building,
especially in view of the fact that
arbitrary wage. cutting would mean
decreased efficiency.
