CHILD PICKERS
OF Cotton May Be Replaced
By Machine

Houston, Texas. Machinery may
replace child labor in southern cotton
fields and likewise sweep the parents
of these children into other activities.
Recent tests with a mechanical cot
ton picker in the Rio Grande valley
and at Victoria demonstrated to the
international Harvester Company
that such machine can be built.
One man operating tractor and
one on the machine got 80 per cent
of the cotton in 10 acres in a day
without injuring plants. This machine
is the result of study of $500 pat
ents on file in Washington. Six of
these have been purchased. 1t is be-
lieved that within five years Texas,
with it's level land that is ideal for
mechanical cultivation, will grow the
bulk of the cotton crop of this coun-
try.
1t is estimated that the present
machine, though in it's infancy, will
save 40 per cent of usual costs.

BANKS VIEW
That General Business Con-
ditiOns Improve

By International Labor News Service
New York City.-A pronounced SEN
timent for better business prospects
has developed in the last two months,
according to the August forecast of
the National City Bank. The state
of agriculture is the cause of the i'm
provement. Increased prices for
farm products have made the rela-
tion between agricultural and other
industries more normal. 1t is this,
however, that accounts for the grad
ual increase in the cost of living.
The prosperity of the husbandman
is admitted to be fundamental to the
nation, and on this business men are
basing their optimism. Crops appear
to be ample without much surplus,
which gives the best mean.
This agricultural prosperity, it is
taken, will be widely distributed,
since last year the farmers were able
to pay off much of their interest and
accumulated debts and were not able
to buy much needed machinery or
comforts. This replacement will oc-
cur this fall and give employment to
factories, it is expected.
For wage earners and those con-
templating wage movements, the fol-
lowing paragraph in the National
City's report is significant:
''The business outlook is better than
it has been for years, because on the
whole industries have been better bal
anced and therefore in better relation
to-~take each others products and
provide each other with full employ
ment."
Pessimism is still strong in Europe,
especially in Great Britain, it is. re-
ported. The German situation has
been eased by the recent successful
loan and the working out of the rep
arations payments under the Dawes
plan European countries are begin
ming to balance their income and ex-
pense, and there is an approach to
stabilization which in a short time
will spur trade and industry, it is as

SOUTH TO ORGANIZE

Winston-Salem, N. C.-An espe-

textile workers, said C. P. Barringer,

Textile workers comprise 81 per
cent of North -Carolina's industrial
workers. President Barringer favor

There is a possibility of a thunder
