articles exposing the crooked career
Of George L. Berry, president Of the
international Printing Freshmen and
Assistants Union.
Article XII.
Besides being an industrial magnate
"Majah" George L. Berry can also lay
claim to being a farmer. Berry "bor-
rowed" $4,000 from the International
treasury. According to the auditors
report made in 1919 Berry still owed
that money to the Union. Later on
the Indebtedness was assumed by the
Clinchfeld Hydro-Eiectric Company,
another one of Berry's handy institu-
tions, which was alleged to be owned
a case of "robbing Peter to pay Paul"
Berry's farm is five hundred acres
in area and much Of the labor done on
the farm is supplied by rne union and
most of the supplies and materials
used are purchased with union funds.
Berry was in the habit of stabling his
live stock in the barn and feeding it
at the expense of the international
Union, and for this there has never
been any compensation.
Capitalist Minded Leaders.
When Communists say that the labor
takers have vested interest in the
capitalist system, they are not merely
using figure of speech. There is no
doubt about it. The workers would be
just as well served by the leadership
Of Henry Ford, Charlie Schwab Judge
Gary or John d. Rockefeller jr. as
they are by William Green, John l..
Lewis, James Lynchsor George l.. Ber-
ry. The latter aresj Just as capitalist

The questions Of how the United

that probably soon after this is in

THE reason why Sigman uses up a

LARGE SUPPLY
SENDS BEAN
PRICES OFF

Due to heavy incoming shipments Of
green stringless beans. the market on
that vegetable was greatly demoralized
on the San Antonio wholesale produce
row Saturday morning. according to r. t.
Pruitt, OF the Prultt Commission Com
pany.
Extremely wet weather. during which
the beans grow quickly, caused the mar
ket here TO be flooded with green beans
brought in by truck, railroad and wagon
from all sections. The price paid the
farmer dropped almost overnight from
s225 to 81 and Si.25, according to the
quality of the bean.
Tho wholesale market has all the ap-
pearances OF spring instead OF winter"
Mr.. Pruitt said. THE rain has made all
bunch vegetables grow so rapidly they
have fallen off five cents per dozen
Lunches in all instances"
Mr.. Pruitt said a carload OF Colorado
apples and California vegetables also
made their appearance locally. meeting
fairly good demand in the face Of the
plentiful supply already here.
Hens, according TO \. A. Snyder. con-
tinued to decline in price as turkeys
continued coming in for the Thanksgiving
trade. The price paid the grower for
hens fell from II to 10 TO Il cents per
pound he said. Turkeys brought the
producer 2s cents or one cent more per
pound than when the Thanksgiving mar
ket opened Mr.. Snyder said.

COTTON ADVANCES
ON FEDERAL REPORT

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-Cotton
gained about So bale during early
trading today under heavy short COW
ering and buying by local speculative
interests on the Unexpectedly bullish
showing of the consumption report
issued by the Census Bureau. The
report placed the amount Of cotton
consumed during October Mt 543,G19
bales. compared with 1926 bales
during September and 534 ,2S3 bales
during the corresponding month a
year ago. This is somewhat larger
than the trade had anticipated.
In view of the general talk Of cur
tailment during the past month, the
increase in consumption over both
last month and last year attracted
considerable attention. The report
placed the amount of cotton on hand
in consuming establishments at the
end of October at 1,216,437 bales
compared with SS6,011 bales at the
end of September and 733.440 bales
at the end of October, 1924.
The market started ut an advance
of some 3 to 10 points, but shortly
after the opening prices rose sharply
under the influence of heavy
short covering and speculative buying
ON the bullish consumption report.
This demand carried December con-
tracts TO within a few points of the
20 81 cent level, but Mt that point
the market encountered increased real
izing and hedge selling and values
reacted moderately. However. predic-
tions for unsettled weather conditions
over the weekend restricted buying
and values held firm within f,w
points of the best levels of the SEES
sion.
Weekly reviews Of the dry goods sit.
uation stated that there was littls
change of importance. Trader leaders
are inclined to view the outlook op.
timistically.

ST. Anthony Hotel.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14.-Cot-
ton prices worked irregularly higher
in the trading here this morning. The
unfavorable weather predictions early
for the belt over the weekend tended
to lift the market sharply at the out
set.
With the bulges there was a consid-
cradle amount Of selling, but after oc-
casional breaks to lower levels the
market climbed sharply.
In the final minutes OF trade the
prices broke some but final quotations
showed moderate gains for the day.
The October census proved bullish
surprise with the gain In mill stocks
being construed as additional evidence
of mill activity.
The smaller gain. approximately 3-4
million less, IN warehouse stocks was
evidence OF bad crop weather.
The strong action by Liverpool took
the sting out of the news on reduced
working hours for two months.
