RY EDWIN CAMP

A gentleman who conducts
large mercantile and cotton buy
ing business in a North Geor-
gia city has just published a
pamphlet attacking with consider
able vigor the Sapiro plan for
the cooperative marketing of
cotton and the Georgia Cotton
Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton.
TO the extent that he sticks
to the facts, this gentleman is,
of course, we'll within his rights.
He is taking one side of what
is a public matter. and his views
are worth what they may prove
to be worth; and then, too, he is
speaking in part from self-inter-
est, for it is a fact that the extern
sion of the cotton associations
in the South will curtail what
has always been one of the most
lucrative features of general mer-
chandising in county seats-that
is, the taking in of customers
cotton at harvest time and the
selling of this cotton when the ,
price has advanced after the
period of dumping.
Some general merchants IN
country towns still oppose the
cooperative cotton associations
because they see in them a men
ace to This feature of their bust
ness. They lose sight Of the fact
that if the co-operatives continue
to do business with the success
that they have had in the past
two years they will make the
farmers prosperous instead Of
poor, will increase their abfl-
ity to buy and will enlarge and
stabilize the business of the coun-
try merchants in a sound and
legitimate way. Credit risks will
diminish, a happier and more
hopeful people will inhabit the
community and the good mer-
chant will have better trade and
substantial profits, both trade
and profits growing apace with
the happiness ana prosperity of
his customers.
Fortunately, many - probably
a maiority-of the Georgia gener-
d merchants nave Se6H LlllS anu
are strong in their advocacy of
the co-operatives.
This North Georgia merchant
begins his pamphlet by asking the
reader: do you need the Geor-
gia Cotton Growers Co-opera-
tive Association" and further on
he says, 1--WE believe the thing
for us to do is, if we try to grow
cotton, try to grow as much of
it as we can on an acre of ground
and produce it as cheaply as we
can and then handle it ourselves
as we feel would be to our own
interest"
By his question and his answer,
he has digged q pit for his own
destruction. Let the question be
put to every cotton grower in
Georgia; Are you prosperous?
Have you made a fair profit

WANVAMAKER SAYS
AGENT COTTON IS
VITAL To GROWERS

Cotton must bring AZ cents a
pound to the growers in the future
in order to check the exodus of labor
and rehabilitate the cotton-growing
industry so as to provide sufficient
supplies of raw cotton to meet world
requirements, according to stats.
tics compiled and made public by
J. S. Wannamaker, of ST. Matthews,
S. c., president of the American
Cotton association.
Mr.. Wannamaker compiled the
statistics from answers to a ques-
| tionnaire which he says he sent tout
to bankers, farmers and merchants
in all sections of the cotton belt.
Seven questions were asked. Their
composite answers. Mr.. Wannamak-
er says, presents an illuminating
and graphic picture of the present
economic condition of cotton grow
ers, emphasizing the widespread ex-
odus of farm labor, shortage of mule
power and the critical condition of
farm credits"

In conclusion, Mr.. Wannamaker
points out that 1.-The statistics re.
fleet the present actual conditions
in the cotton belt and emphasize
the serious economic problems con-
fronting the cotton growers at the
present time"
The report. for Georgia predicts:
Twenty-seven per cent decrease in

on your cotton? Are you satisfied
with your income in years pasta"
If one-half of the cotton growers
in Georgia could say yes to those
questions, there would still be
need of something to help the
other half. But there are not one
hundred farmers in Georgia who
can say yes.
The old fashion of hauling the
cotton to the county seat after
ginning, and selling lat a time
when nearly all the other cotton
growers in America are selling)
at the price offered by the curb
buyer or our friend. the North
Georgia merchant, has resulted
in the impoverishment of every
man who has followed it.
There have been some farm
mers who have been in position to
hold for higher prices. AS a
general thing, they have done
much better than those who
have sold at ginning time. But
there is nobody in the world who
ever knows what the price of
cotton will be at any future time.
There is nobody who knows how
high cotton is going, or how low
it is going. There is nobody who
knows when the best price is
quoted. So any farmer who
merely holds his cotton for a,
better price is putting himself
at the mercy of luck. He may
win, he may lose. He cannot
tell when to sell.
Under the old order. which the
North Georgia merchant and
cotton buyer praises so highly
all the cotton growers of Ameri-
ca fell into two classes: Those
who took what they were offered
when nearly everybody else was
selling and those few who were
in a position to hold for better
prices and who sometimes got
them and sometimes didn't.
The former class outnum-
bered the latter so to 1. The
former class ALWAYS lost. The
latter class lost except when it
was lucky.
But there is no reason for any
COLIOn pTOuQc6T u US LUZ ecu W
depend on luck.
The Sapiro plan, now in eff
feet in every important cotton
producing state, is taking the
gamble out of cotton selling.
1t does this by selling cotton
gradually. from day to day or
from week to week, in keeping
with the demand for consump-
ton. When it has reached the
end of the cotton season. it has
obtained an average price for
the year.
An average price for the year
is always higher than the aver
age price during the fall months.
Nook up the figures for the last
fifty years and see for your
self
And an average price will
yield a fair profit on the cotton
raised by reasonably efficient
farmers.

Lawrence, Mass.--The unreason-
ableness of the textile operators in
their wage cutting policies, against
which the employees went on strike in
the New England field in 1922, needs
on proof aside from the statements of
selves.
After six months of shutdown in
the plants of the Pacific Mills at Dow
er, New Hampshire, and Lawrence,
Mass, the company's net earnings for
the year ending Dec. 80, 1922, were
81 1854 ,594. 1t also declared stock
dividend of $20,000,000, doubling its
outstanding common stock.
Nothing but thorough organization
saved the workmen in the textile in
dustry of New England from having
their wages cut so far below the level
of decent existence that their spirit
would have been forever killed. IT is
this kind of organization, also, that
is keeping out of the United States

what it now is.

About two weeks ago strike
breaker employed in one of the rail
shops at Danville was arrested for
stealing and upon being questioned
by the officials confessed to some 25
rohberies, burglaries and holdups.
On street paving in the Twin Cities
last year the contractors refused to
pay the wage set by union laborers
and hired others to take their place
at 10 cents less per hour. One sf
those so employed was a man named
Richbury, who on last Saturday was
found guilty Of grand larceny he
having in his possession at the time
of arrest large amount of plumber
which later was identified by several
different people as belonging to them.
Richburg told Deputy Ulitsch he could
not live on 40 cents per hour and
made up by lawlessness route.
Whenever man scabs on another
worker and robs him of his rightful
wage and job he soon becomes hard
ened criminal and preys upon society
in general. 1t Is not a state con-
stabulary we need to prevent crime,
but employers who believe in square
! deal with their employees.

THEY MIGHT LEARN SOME


The Chicago Tribune does not
favor the idea of a committee of
state representatives and senator's
visiting the states that now have
cossacks to decide if all is true pro
and con of them that is claimed to be.
The Tribune claims the legislature
should take the proponents views of
the question and establish the vic
ious machine without further inves-
tigation. The Tribune does not want
the members to know first hand how
the Pennsylvania state police have
driven workers from their homes,
how they have broke up and prevent
ed religious freedom, how Catholic
priests and ministers have been ar
rested and thrown into Jail for minis
tering to the unfortunate worker and
/ his family their constitutional rights
that the interruptions employer would
deny than.
We would venture to say that If
the legislature will select an unbiased
committee to make the investigation
and that committee will visit tho
states of West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and New York and visit the
mining and industrial centers for a
thorough investigation their recon-
sAAadation will be that the proposed
state police would be vicious inn
plement which the state of Illinois
should not have.

James A. Emery, lawyer for the
National Association of Manufactur-

bring contract labor from Europe.
The records of Mr.. Gary's steel
trust would snow what contract labor
means. The steel trusts indulgence
in contract labor was largely fespon-
sible for the final decision OF America
to end the evil.
Mr.. Emery is no doubt a good law
yer Corporation organizations sell
dom employ poor lawyers. But We
venture to say that Mr.. Emory knows
lot more about law than he does
about the feeling of the American
people on the subject of contract
labor.
He and his employers might as well
forget about contract labor.
