COTTONM FEEL
 COAL SHORTAGE,
 SAYS UNDERWOOD
Senator BIames "Wobbfing'' Administration Provided Transportation Tie-up
 Cuts Cotton Prices
Ny HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The -Hereld

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington. September 2(SpeciaD-- south may be forced to charge against a "wobbling" republican ad- ministration the loss for another cot- ton crop, according to Senator un- derwood of Alabama today. Senator Underwood indorses the action of the attorney general in asking for in functions against those who would conspirs tc break down transporta- ton. although he deplores tho late hour at which that action was taken.
 He denounces the bill giving the interstate commerce commission au- thority to deny cars to profiteering coal operators on the ground that 1t Is a sham, in his opinion. It gives no more authority, he declares, than which has already been exercised, can have no effect and will sufflcs only as a republican ''proof' that something for the relief" of the sit uation has been achieved.
 The most serious possibility con- fronting the south in the opinion of Senator Underwood is that if trans portation breaks down. the cotton crop will be valueless.
 Recalls 1914
 'Tr 1914" he sasS. "'cotton, with the markets of the world in want and willing to pay the price. dropped from IA cents to cents. This was be- cause English vessels were diverted from normal trade and put to trans porting men and munitions"
 'Tf the transportation systems of the country are not normal before December" he continued. 'tan avail abls cars will be used in supplying the country with food and coal. There will no means of transporting cotton. and mills, already affected by lacii of fuel will be forced to close"
 Already producers of perishabls foods are suffering financial losses. but if the situation continues as 1t is disaster will strike the south.''
 Senator Underwood is In favor of legislation putting the government behind the dsorees of the federal la bor board so that they will be effse- tive. He argues that no men. whether capitalists or laborers would fight tho government but shs republicans won't take such action until after the elections. That is one of the reasons the democratic leader thinks the republicans in the present sx- igency 'Speechlesk"
