Splendid Cotton Crop Through
South, Greatest in Years, to
Bring South Much Prosperity

BARSON PARK, Mass, Nov. 2S.
Tracing the path of business re-
coverv, Roger W. Rabson, the sta
tistician, today called attention to
certain developments already ap-
parent in five states.
A business survey of the entire
country shows golden path of
prosperity stretching from Florida
diagonaly north-wes. throughout
-Alabam4, Mississippi, Arkansas,
and into the wheat wealth of Kan
sas, says Mr. Babson. This
bright strip of Improvement is be-
lieved by many TO foretell period
of good times, not only for the par
fieular states mentioned above
where activity seems to be appear
ing first-but also for practically
the entire south. The other south
ern states will undoubtedly have
their turn presently; it simply hap
pens that these four states are in
some ways the fisst to feel radi-
cal revival We might faneifully
cali them the Four Horsemen of
Prosperity.
.sFlorida has held up hIough
this whole era of national 6,ulness
with astonishing vigor, due, Of
course, in part to the influx of
people and pocketbooks. Incidental |
IL. Florida s cotton crop this year |
IS valued at more than 80 per cent |
in excess of last year s crop. Ala
hama not only has \ cotton crop
valued AT more than 90 per cent
above last year, but also appears
to be on the eve of a revival IN
the iron and steel industry. More
over, the development of electric
power is an unquestioned source of
strength for this state. Mississippi
is another state where the cotton |
Icrop shoald show a pronounced !
|pain in value over last year, the
increase probable exceeding 80 per
cent. There are also reports Of ap-
|proaching Improvement in the lum--
|bcr industry.
Cotton GooG In -zrkansas
ssThe cotton crop in Arkansas
should bring third more money
THAN wear ago. Economic statls-
|fies show that Arkansas is display
ing great strength. There is eva
denee that the business indications
for this state make it one Of the
most favored localities in the coun-
frv for the months ahead. More
over. consultations with leading
business men of the sta-e show that
local sentiment is exceedingly fav-
orable for improvement. 1t is To-
calitv where business men are fac
ing the future not only with conf
dence and courage, but with intel
ligent foresight based upon aecur-
ME appraisal of conditions.

1T BY the average farmer is great,
er than that received as profit
last year. This is because the yield
per acre showed a good gain this
year over last and hence the cost
of production per unit was much
lower.
Another point in favor of the
cotton farmer is that prices Of in
dustrial products have also tended
downward in the past year ana this
partially offsets the decline in the
per pound p:-ce of cotton. Here
are some southern states where the
| value of this year S cotton crop as
! compared to last years shows 9
fine increase.
+, 100 per cent represents the
value Of the states cotton crop

/ cent, Mississippi 134 per cent,

estates such as Alabama, Ar

siderable Importance To what Is
called the natural trend of trade :.
1t has been advanced rs IN ceono-
mic principle that the most power
full and permanent movement OF
trade is ultimately from north to
south and from south 10 north.
since each region has 4 natural
pre.eminence in the production of
certain products and likewise has 4
natural need for the $ pecialties pro-
vided by its neig.@or. Hence, the
economists argue. trade reaches its
full and final development in an
interchange OF products from south
to north.
"Tn spite of diversified agricul-
ture and developments of industry,
the backbone of much of the south s
purchasing Rower is still obtained
from the cotton crop. Naturally,
therefore. this year 5 crop is a Lead
ing barometer of probable business
in the south and a fairly close in
dicator of how much money the
south should be able to spend over
the next eight or nine months. The
picture is distinctly encouraging.
This years crop is estimated
by the government at over 12,-
100000 bale5-the largest crop
that the south has produced
since 1920. With tile exception
of that year, it is the largest
since 1914.
It is especially gratifying TO
now that supplies of cotton will
e adequate to furnish consumers
With cotton goods this season, for
he country had three successive ,
rop failures during the period 1921,
922, and 1928. Last years pro-
luetion totaled 1o,14o.o00 bales.
in 1922 was 9,762, 900
and the 1921 crop totaled only -
954, 900 bales.
Good Price Assured
1.-The south W Il enjoy nearly as
high valne for this years crop as
it did fer the 1923 crop, even though
farmers may not be getting quite as
much per unit this year as last. The
estimated farm value of cotton as
of December /. 1928. was $685.
$4,000. Prices to the farmer at
that time were ruling arounds 30
cents per pound. The per pound
price today is about % cents. In
other words, reduction of about 80
per cent has occurred this year in
cotton prices. Based on prevail
ing prices, the farmer win receive
about sl,40s,00C 900 for the 1924
production of cotton-a figure with
in 10 per cent of December s farm
value last year. Despite the low
er prices and evon reckoning the
total farm value this year about the
same as last, it is estimated that

BUILDING TRADES
 HALTED BY STRIKE
Tradesmen Ordered from Jobs By Union in Sympathy With
 Electricians.

Springfield, Feb. 2.-Building tradesmen have been ordered to leave their work on several large buildings now under construction until the strike of electrical workers, which has been in effect for several weeks, is ended. This action was taken at a special meeting of the Building Trades Council in Central Labor Union Hall this week when the de mands of electricians for $I.I2A an hour was indorsed. It is the first definite action of the council in. the strike
 Several of the larger buildings now under construction, many of which have time clauses calling for com pletion of the work at stated time, are affected by the action of the council. This ruling automatically re- moves bricklayers, carpenters, paint CTS, plumbers, steamhters, tile settlers and other artisans represented by the council, from any job on which the electrical workers are on strike.
 In labor circles 1t was stated that several concessions have been offered by the union men which have been fatly refused by the contractors. Efforts of the State Board of Con- ciliation and Arbitration to reach a settlement have been unavailing.

TRIAL OF SHOP

$I5,ooo,oo Action Is Based on Rail roads Refusal to Obey

Philadelphia, Feb. 2.-Trial of the suit for $15,0O0,OO0 brought by System Fed eration 90, representing shop crafts of the Pennsylvania system, against the Pennsylvania Railroad were begun in the Federal District Court this week, testi- mony being taken after Judge Dickinson refused to dismiss the suit on the ground that the bill filed was insufficient in law. One of the reasons given for the mo- ton to dismiss was that the federation was an unincorporated body.
 The suit is based to some extent on the refusal of the Pennsylvania to recog- nize rulings of the United States Rail- road Labor Board in connection with wages and working conditions.
 The complainant asks for an injunc- ton restraining the railroad from pay ing wages to members of the mechani- cal forces on scale below that in force June 30, 1921; from recognizing as rep resentatives of the shopmen the "com- pany union," said to have been estab- lished without consent of the majority of the men," and from making agree ments with the company union'' on wages, hours and conditions of work

 Insurgent delegates who styled themselves "The Left Wing" drew consolation from the fact that all though they had been decisively de- feated, their leaders had been given a full hearing by the convention and had gotten an expression of their views into the record. They gather ed in their third caucus, heard an address by William z. Foster, re- puted communist leader, and planned further opposition to the adminis- tration.

VOLUNTARY PAY CUT
 COSTS UNION STAMP
Holbrook Shoe Operatives Favored
 Reduction.

Brockton, Feb. 2-The Boot and Shoe Workers Union, through its general president, Collis Lovely of Boston, has served notice on Eugene F. O'Neill, president of the Brockton Shoe Manufacturing Company, of the revocation of the union stamp contract affecting the Holbrook fac tory operated by the company. The stamp will be taken away March I, it is reported.
 A reduction in wages of 10 per cent in the Holbrook factory, is said to be responsible for the revocation of the contract, althugh the operatives voted in favor of the reduction.
 Mr. O'Neill promised his operatives so weeks of work during the year if they would accept reduction in wages. The factory is now working overtime, it is said, putting out 2,4oo pairs of shoes every day.
