COTTON GROWERS
ORGANIZE RAPIDLY

The Georgia Cotton Growers Co
operative Marketing association Is
making gratifying progress toward
the completion of it's plans, accord
ing to a statement issued Saturday
by Commissioner of Agriculture j.
memberships opening July 5.
Mr.. Brown said that organizations
have been perfected in about 25
counties, and it is hoped to perfect
them in fifty, or a hundred coun'
ties before the drive begins, so that.
when it does start, the minimum
Of 100000 bales will be signed up
without delay.
Il feel confident" he said. that
the number of bales represented in
the association will go way beyond
that figure, because when Georgia
cotton growers understand what the
California plan will do for them,
their taking memberships. All
whom I have talked to are en-
thusiastic about it. 1t is going to
make material difference in the
marketing of our 1921 crop, as well
as the cotton held over from last
year, and difference which will
be decidedly in favor of the farmer.
1--WE are handling one product at
a time, but We do not propose to
stop with cotton. Just as soon as
the final organization of the cot
ton growers association is perfect
ed, and it is ready for business. 1T
is our purpose to take up the or
ganization of the potato growers OF
Georgia, forming one association
for the marketing OF sweet, and the
other for Irish potatoes, both on the
Sapiro or California plan.
Georgia is right at the top of
the list of states in sweet potato
growing, and it will be recalled that
it was the Georgia State Bureau of
Markets which succeeded in hav-
ing this product put. on the United
States army ration list, at time
when it had been wholly ignored.
'"These two associations will not
only stabilize the market for Geor-
gia sweet and Irish potatoes, and
bring the growers fair margin of
profit, but will further popularize
Georgia Vans, already so famous in
many sections of the country. The
department of agriculture would be
glad to hear from those interested
in this movement, and invites sug-
gestions from them'

RAILROAD WAGES
CUT ON 21O LINES

CHICAGO, June 27-The United
States railroad labor board today ex-
tended it's wage reduction order eff
fective July 1, to nearly every large
railroad in the country. No change
from the average IL per cent reduc-
ton granted 104 carriers on June
was made by today's decision. The
boards order today covered 210
roads.
The new wage decision of the
United States railroad labor board
will make a reality of the estimated
four hundred million dollar annual
savings expected when the board S
twelve per cent cut, effective July 1,
is applied to all employees, on all
railroads, known as class one car

addendum to the wage reduction or
der of June 1 adds practically ev-
cry railroad in the elias some division
to the original list of 104 roads au-
thorized to make the II per cent re-
duction.
When the reduction order was is
sued, it was estimated that, if ap-
piled to all employees on all class one
roads, it would lop approximately
four hundred million dollars from
the country's railroad labor bill.
The new decision will make this
cut possible, by ordering reduced
wages from empoyes not included in

POLICE AND F|REMEN
STRIKE IN QUEBEC

QUEBEC, Que, June 27.-Troops
were guarding all municipal build
ings today as the result of a strike
of policemen and firemen.
The strike was called early yes
terday because of dissatisfaction
with the wage award of an arbitra-
ton board.
Nearly 200 false alarms Of fire
were rung in after the strike be-
came effective. Small boys, rev.
cling in their unwonted freedom
from restraint, raided police and fire
stations, smashing windows and
wrecking furniture.
Citizens began to fear a repetition
of the vandalism which character
lied the Boston police strike. Arrival
of detachment Of 125 men Of the
Royal Twenty-Second regiment. how
ever, put an end to their fears.
No fires had occurred and no
major crimes had been committed up
to this forenoon, although there
were but 35 men on duty to per-
form the work hitherto assigned to
lao policemen and the same number
of firemen.

FOUL PLAY FEARED
WHEN ELEVEN DIE
|NFARMHOUSE FIRE

MAYFIELD, KY, June 27.-The
bodies of five adults and six chill
dren were found in the ruins Of the
home of Ernest Lawrence, a farmer
living about seven miles from here
which was destroyed by fire last
midnight. There were indications
that the dead may have been the VIC
tins of foul play and at coroner's
inquest held here today a non-com-
initial verdict was returned.
The dead are Ernest Lawrence,
ranging in age from five years to
eleven months; Otis Drew, %, and
wife, %, and three children rang
ing from four years to four months,

could see the bodies lying on the
floor.
An examination of the bodies,
which were burned SO badly that
recognition was impossible, showed
that one of the women bore wounds
that seemed to have been made by
some sharp instrument. The dress
of the infant which this woman is
thought to have been holding in her
arms, was drenched with blood.
In one of the rooms in which sew
eral bodies were lying were a re-
volver containing six empty cart
ridges, shotgun, rifle with a
cartridge that had been discharged
and another exploded cartridge near
by, a double bitted AK which was
lying on the bed springs near the
body of one of the men, and a large
Gil can which had been kept in the
yard.
Particles of clothing were cling
ing to the bodies of the men, show
ing that they had not retired before
they met death.
Screams of women and children
and several shots are said to have
been heard by neighbors shortly be-
fore the fire was discovered.

NEW TARIFF BILL
READY FOR HOUSE

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The Re-
publican protective tariff bill will
come forth from the house ways and
means committee next week to face
growing storm of opposition to
many of the rates. Representative
Fordney, chairman of the commit
tee announced TODAY that the new
duties which probably will average
somewhat higher than those of the
last Republican tariff-the Payne
Aldrich law of 1909. will be made
public Wednesday. He predicted
the passage of the bill through the
house by July Is or 20. after which
the ways and means committee, in
accordance with the desires of Presi-
dent Harding, will start the work of
revising the revenue laws.
The bill, which is one of the major
tasks of the special session, will
yield approximately S600,0OO,0OO a
year, Republican members of the
committee estima ted. while the pres
emit low Democratic rates. with de-
creasing imports. probably will NOT
return more than $300.000,000 this
year.
The measure was virtually COM
pleted today with some of the rates
on dyes still undecided, but it is ex-
pected that there will be agreed upon
early next week. Then the Demo-
cratic members Of the committee
will be called in and the bill ap-
proved over their opposition.
After that indications are that
the path of the measure will 3e
stormy.
A caucus of Republicans OF the
house has been called for next Thurs.
day night, when efforts will be made
to iron out differences Of opinion.
The first fight will be on the lum-
Der duties which have been under
group for the last two weeks. Lead
ers of this revolt claim the caucus
will reveal a sufficient opposition
against these rates to secure their
defeat with the assistance of the
Democrats.
