PARLEY ON COTTON
South "FIeeced" of $780,.
100000 on Crop, Repre-
sentative McSWain Says.
9y the Associated Press.

GREENVILLE, S. c., November
IA conference of Senators and
Representatives from the cotton
growing States will be held in Wash
ington beginning December or 8
and continuing for several days, 1t
was stated here yesterday by Repre-
sentative J. j. McSwain of the fourth
congressional district. The purpose
of the conference, 1t was said. would
be to effect means of remedying GER
tain conditions affecting the South.
Decision to call such a conference
was reached during the week end, Mr..
McSwain said. by himself and Senator
Het1in of Alabama.
In explanation Of the reasons for
calling the meeting Mr.. McSwain said
it was largely the outgrowth of cir
cumstances which had permitted the
South 70 be ''Heeced" out of from
$500 600 600 to s350000,O0O on the
present cotton crop. Continual
fiuctuating of cotton prices. he de-
clared, had convinced Senators and
Representatives that something
should be done to relieve the situa-
ton.
Senator Hef1in. who was a speaker
at the annual banquet of the Cham
ber Of Commerce here. brushed upon
the possibility of abolition of cotton
exchanges by Congress. He said
that such a step was possible. but
that It remained to be seen what
might be done In regard to the pro
posal of Government action.

BOYCOTT Of UNION

Idea in Open Letter.

NEW YORK. November 24-John
v. Edgerton. president of the National
Hssociation Of Manufacturers, in an
topen letter sent yesterday to President
Coolidge strongly opposed the demand
Nor Government intervention in the
Ibituminous coal industry made by
! } Ohm l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers
Mr.. Lewis suggestion, Mr.. Edger-
ton wrote, is evidence of the purpose
of the United Mine Workers TO OBJ
tain monopoly of both the anthra-
cite and bituminous coal production
of the country
The right of the public to con-
tinued supply of coal, Mr.. Edeerton
maintained, is paramount to the al
legged rights of operators or miners.
The letter concluded with a hint of a
boycott of unioni2ej fields ii 4 strike
is called in the bituminous mines.
The letter follows, in part
Nation at Unions Mercy
only recently Mr.. Lewis stated
that the demestia consumers of an
thracite coal many OF whom are en-
piOyed by members of this association,
are liI ing in . FOOLS paradise We
respectfully submit that the very evi-
dent purpose of the United Mine
Workers is 10 secure monopoly of
both anthracite and bituminous coal
production. The attempt TO control
the bituminOus output is commonly
believed to be part of an understand
ing between the union and the btu
minous operators who sign union con-
tracts that the union will eliminate
competition from all independent
fields.
Your predecessor, Mr.. Harding,
said in 1922. referring to the bitumln-
Gus fields:
Except for such coal as come>
from the districts worked by non
organized mines. the country IS a.
the mercy of the United Mine Worn
erS'
Mr.. Lewis now plainly indicates
that the United Mine Workers Is
willing to use it's own efforts TO re
gain and intensity the control of which
Mr.. Harding spoke.
Urged TO Buy of Independents.
THE National Association of Man
ufacturers has for many months,
through a special committee, urged
manufacturers not to overlook the in
dependent coal fields in placing their
orders for bituminous coal. In our
opinion, the maintenance of depend
able and reliable sources of coal for
domestic and manufacturing use pro-
notes both industrial and public well
fare, the right of the public to a sup
ply of fuel being superior to any al
legged rights of operators. miners or
any other group. We submit that If
the United Mine Workers now calls
strike in the unioniZed bituminous
fields manufacturers will be forced in
self protection to consider carefully
the advisability of placing any future
orders for coal from fields which can
not be depended upon as reliable
sources of supply"
