animal toilers. Surely if the lives Of
the army mules can be prolonged by
good care, the lives of humans can
be heightened in the same way.
This is where organized labor comes
in strong. BY means of its economic
and political power, it can force in
dustry to treat the workers with fair
ness. This means adequate wages, ad-
equate leisure and good working con-
ditions, among other things.
Organized labor is bringing about
this fair treatment of the workers
The toilers in we'll organized trades
are benefitting in health and longev-
ity. Perhaps in time, as we become
more civilized, society as whole
will recognize that the workers are
nations most precious asset.

OPEN SHOPPERS WORRIED
The open shoppers are showing
signs of considerable worry over the
various proposals to limit the power
of the supreme court to declare the
acts of congress unconstitutional.
The fate which the various child
labor laws, and the minimum wage of
the District of Columbia have met at
the hands of the supreme court has
caused the various shades of pro-
gressivism and near progressivism tc
propose scores of bills to remedy the
situation.
But the big manufacturing interests
are not asleep. They are on the jot
and have already served notice thai
/ they will fight to the bitter end tt
protect their supreme court from any
and all popular encroachment. In az
address before the Associated Indus
tries of Massachusetts, at the eight
annual meeting of this open shoI
organization, Mr.. James A. Emery
counsel for the National Industrial
Council, has thrown down the gaunt
let to all would-be liberators of the
working masses from supreme cour
tyranny.
Speaking of these remedial propos
ais, Mr. Emery declared: Startling
as this proposal may sound, Sd mem
bers of congress have publicly approx

Offerings from the interior were moderate.

COnwell Thanks Bankers
President j. e. ConWell saws. con.
corning the years work:
In making this our final settle
ment, / cannot refrain from again
expressing our thanks and apprecia-
ton for the wonderful and unselfish
cooperation that practically every
banker in Georgia has given the as
ISOLATION for the past several
months.
Our bankers have not only been
helping us to produce our crops and
diversity, but they have given us
unstinted cooperation in marketing
the cotton of our members, all of
which has been both necessary and
quite helpful to the success of the
association.
Because of banking and other
businesses dependent upon the sue
cess of agriculture, we want again
to urge all who may not at the
present be cooperating to study
and learn the principles of orderly
marketing, because it not only
means better prices for the growers
of farm products, but it is to the
selfish interest of buiness dependent
upon agriculture IN our state. in
that it makes our producers
stronger financially both in debt
paying and purchasing power.
I'VE will have approximately 40,
600 members as against 1900 last
season. The fact that we will have
a larger volume of business and
that more economical methods of
handling have been instituted
should mean that our members
1923 cotton crop will be marketed
more economically even than was
the case with the 1922 crop. But
of greater benefit than that is the
fact that as we get. control of more
and more of the cotton in this and
other states, our cotton producers
are insured Of greater control over
marketing conditions which GER
tainly assures us of better and
fairer prices for our products"

COTTON

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-There
was some scattered selling in the
cotton market this morning on re-
ports that spot cotton in the south
west was working toward q tender
able basis, expectations of a more
favorable weekly review by the
weather bureau and relatively easy
cables. Offerings were we'll taken,
however, owing partly TO covering
for over the approaching govern
.ment report and holidays, and after
lopening steady at a decline of one
to an advance of five points, active
months sold about five to eight
points net higher. October ad-
vanced from 24.12 to 24.24 and De
cember from 24.05 to 24.15 during
the early trading. The south seemed
to be buying as much as it sold
here and some of the local spot peo-
.ple claimed that spots in the Texas
market were still well above a
parity.
The market was not active, but
ruled generally steady to firm later.
Selling appeared to be checked by
complaints of too much rain in east
ern belt sections, and while the
weekly report of the weather bureau
said there had been some improve
ment in western belt conditions, 1t
suggested further deterioration east
Of the Mississippi river. On the whole
it was less favorable than expected
and prices ruled about Is to ~
points net higher around midday
with October selling at 24.S7 ana
January at $3.50. Three private re-
ports were issued, one showing
condition of 55.3, another 56.5 and
the third making it 5S.5. with indi-
Gated crop figures ranging from H.
901 900 to II ,622 900 bales.
The market was firmer during the
afternoon on trade buying and COW
ering. October sold UP to 24.5o with
the general list showing net al
vances of 80 to 81 points around two
