HARDING INTENDS BOARD
SHALL BE OBEYED

Washington, Oct 10.--President
Harding has determined to make the
United States Railroad Board so i'm
portant that when it hands down a de-
cision saying either side in a contro-
versy is wrong, the full weight Of pub
lie opinion will bring the necessary
pressure to bear to compel obedience
to the mandate of the board.
This was the original idea of Con-
gress in creating the Railroad Labor
Board and the first challenge to the
power of the board has developed. Ex-
.ecutive influence has saved what
might otherwise have been a steady
collapse Of the whole structure erected
by Congress. Mr.. Harding has made
it clear that he wants the Railway
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1921-10-20

Labor Board to go ahead and call both
sides to task.
Mr.. Harding's course will unques-
tionably prevent a strike for neither
the railroads nor the labor leaders
would be able to compete successfully
against formal decision as to who
was right or who was wrong Both
sides privately viii admit that.
The president feels that the United
States Railroad Labor Board should
act sternly with any organization
which fouts its decisions. He APP
proves Of the summons sent to the
railroad brotherhood chiefs to come to
Chicago to talk things over informal
ly, and makes it clear that he also
wishes the board to call in promptly
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
who recently defied the decision of the
board.
Mr. Harding believes the Railway

Labor Board will succeed only if Il
plays fair with both sides and that II
must be just as ready to chastise d
big institution like the Pennsylvania
Railroad as any railway union. Mr..
Harding isn't showing any .,artiality
to either sde--he isn't actually inter-
fering in the details Of the con
troversy. He keeps on pointing out
that Congress has created the Labor
Board to settle disputes and that both
sides must be the mark and obey that
board. Mr. Harding has confidence in
the integrity and hofesty and fair
of the board and believes
public opinion will follow its decision.

Tobacco Market
To Open Tuesday

The Fitzgerald Tobacco Market
opens here tomorrow at the Lor
Dickey Tobacco Warehouse with a
full corps of buyers from most Of
the large exporting firms on the
ground. The market Looks promis-
ing, the crop being harvested in
much better shape than last year and
the experience of the growers for the
past two years is making itself felt
in the better condition in which
most of the crop has been harvested
and cured. 1t is thought that the
market will open with good prices
for quality tobacco and most of the
local tobacco is said to be in that
class. The acreage was considerable
less than last year but the yield has
been larger, so that the amount OF
money to be realized may be fully
as large as last years.
The companies represented at the
market are The Imperial by Mr..
Thornton; Export by Mr.. Morton;

Secretary Herbert Hoover,
Washington, D. c.,
My Dear SIR
In reply to your request for inform
alton In yours of the 18th inst, it
gives me pleasure to reply categoric-
ally to your QUESTIONABLE.
=. Do you think bankers 1oanino
fund similar to the livestock Ioaninp
fund necessary:
A. | do; furthermore the thirteen
cotton states have suffered SO terribly
as result of debated values of their
sole money, crop, that such advances
from the Government appear TO be
the only means by which they may
be saved still greater loss on the
incoming crop of cotton.
=. If such a fund were TO be pro-
vlded how much do you think would
be necessary.
A. If the Government will provide
$4,000 per bale. for approximately
100000 bales, for a sufficiently long
time to keep these bales out of compe.
tition with the l921-22 crop, it will ma
terially help the south
9. Please let me have your ideas
concerning the practical machinery
tor the application of such a fund if il
were deemed advisable2
A. The Cotton Growers should form
associations, approved by the Govern
ment, secure bonded warehouses with
official graders, whose receipts for
the cotton deposited and graded
could form the immediate security to
the banks in the territory, upon which
this money should be lent.
.. In view of the present market
prices for cotton it would be neces-
sary to make advances based on pres.
ent quotations with a margin of Sc
curlty. Do you believe that if loans
were made on present low basis il
would tend to affect the price ad-
versely.
A. | do not. In fact it seems reas-
enable that with the present stock OF
cotton safely out of competition with
the incoming crop, the new crop will
bring decidedly better price.
Yours respectively,
I. GELDERS
