ton closed it's first annual convention
here late today with the selection of

and the election of Frank NJ Inman
of that city as president The other
officers are to be chosen later by rep
resentatives Of the six sectional ship
pers' organizations, extending from
the South Atlantic States to Califor-
MIA.
In approval of various committee
work the association indicated that
it's members favored uniformity in
tare, allowing nine pounds to the
bale OF cotton for bagging and IL
pounds for ties, and adopted a resolu-
ton announcing that shipments not
made in accord with the rules to be
put into effect by it's committee would
not receive the Organizations support
in case of protests.
An effort was made to have C. w.
Butler of Memphis stand for re-elec-
ton, but he argued for rotation of
the office of president, and the choice
then lay between Mr.. Inman and w.
J. Neale of Waco, Tex.
The latter urged that president
should be selected from East of the
Mississippi River, where cotton ship
pers only recently have been or
ganized. Mayor B. E. Harris of GAL
weston sought the next convention
for his city, but other Texans argued
for a city east of the river TO en-
courage shippers in that section.
