Since then considerable stub cotton that did not do we'll has been plowed up for summer grain, more will be, and it is generally expected that the final computation will show about 50, 900 acres.

 Dr. w. Warner Watkins. a for mer president of the association. finally prevailed upon the organiza- tion to give Phoenix a trial at the last annual meet last December.
 In this connection. it was ex- plained that while Phoenix has but one hospital. the city boasts one of the finest and best X-ray and clinical laboratories in the entire southwest, which will offset the lack of hospital attractions.
 A three day joint session is planned by the Roentgen- Ray so- ciety and the Southwest Medical and Surgical association. with clinics in the mornings and scientific sessions in the afternoons. 1t was announced. Prominent specialists in X-ray and radium treatment from the coast and more distant points will hold clinics here at the meeting as well as joining in the scientific pro- grams Surgeons of the city are ex- pected to hold clinics at the hos pitfalls and the medical and labor atory men at their offices or san itariums-

growers work as they did last week.
 Teams were working in most dis tricts last week. but Monday will see a number of teams in every district. Where there was one volunteer worker last week there will be half a dozen this week, and great results are expected.
 Reports came in from number of districts, the most promising of which was from the Chandler dis trict- This district was untouched the teams working with G. R. Tifal. prominent grower of that district, have turned in 45 contracts.
 From the talks made at the meet ing yesterday it is evident that lead ing growers in every part of the val ley sincerely believe that the only way to take care of the problems of the cotton growers this fall, in the matter of financing and marketing, is to complete the organization at the earliest possible moment. elect the di- rectors, and set them at the task of making the necessary preparations. Their work will be complicated by a certain carryover from last year s crop, which naturally will have to be sold first, and in the meantime ar rangements must be made for fl Rances to pick, gin and carry this crop until the old crop is gone. This. the growers believe, can be done best by the backing of a strong organiza-
 tion, managed by the best business men and cotton growers here, aided by expert assistance in various lines, with the collective credit of a major ity of the growers as a background The sign-up will be mapped as 1t comes in this week, and the expecta- tion of the committee is that the next Saturday meeting will show the sign up complete. ready for the creation o1 the districts as a preliminary to the election of directors.

Interstate Commerce Commission and
Railway Labor Board Empowered
to Deal With Present Situa-

hington.-President Wilson has
refused the request of railroad labor
union representatives that he investi-
gate railroad executives claims before
the railroad labor board that the car
riers must adjust wages or face bank
ruptcy. He also declined to submit
the matter to Congress.
The president set forth his position
on the appeals made to him in a tele-
gram addressed jointly to two of the
railway labor unions and to the AS
ISOLATION of Railway Executives, who
also had sent a communication to the
White House.
Confidence was expressed by the
president thai all questions dealing
with railroad labor and management
might be left safely to the two bodies
intrusted under the transportation act
with such matters-the railroad labor
board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. He accordingly informed
the labor and carrier representatives
that he was submitting copies Of tele-
grams received from them to these
two bodies as 1.-The only action deemed

SHOULD STIMULATE BUYING
Cautious Against Idle Waitins-Ae-
cept Reasonable Profits, Says
Banker Alexander.

New York.-Confidence that bust
ness will soon settle down on sound
fundamentals was expressed by lead
ing financiers aad practical econom-
tits at a dinner Of the Association Of
Stock Exchange Firms.
James 8. Alexander, president Of
the National Bank Of Commerce, in
New York, cautioned against idle
waiting for the public to resume ac-
tive buying, urging business men to
stimulate purchasing by reduced
prices, based on keener efficiency in
production, and the acceptance of
reasonable margins of profits"
'In this connection" he added, ''the
growing tendency of labor to become
more efficient and its willingness to
accept some liquidation of inflated
wages is encouraging. The readjust-
ment is favorable to the individual
worker.
Competition for work means slim
ulation of efficiency and staunch in
dividualism as opposed to radicalism.
An abundance of labor permits en-
ployers to chose workmen intelligent
ly and coordinate wages to their
proper part in production costs, ia
cilitating the establishment of price
levels best for all.
