TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Organizing to Control Price

Cameron county cotton growers are joining the
movement recently inaugurated in Willacy and Nueces
counties TO organize the growers for the purpose of
controlling the price for cotton picking. At a meeting
in Harlingen Saturday a number of the leading grow
es Of the county organized, fixed the price at rs cents
per hundred to start the season, and announced that
an effort would be made to bring every cotton grower
into the organization.
Lack of organization costs the Valley farmers hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars each year. There would
be little scarcity of labor during the cotton season if
the growers were organized. AS it now stands the
competitive bidding among the farmers for pickers
results in decreased efficiency in the cotton fields, the
pickers devoting no small part Of their time to travel
ing around the Valley seeking a higher price for their
services, and when they find it, they work a few days
and then start out again looking for some grower who
will raise the bid.
If the growers will fix the price and maintain it,
they could not only effect a considerable saving in
picking costs, but it would also result in profit to the
pickers. They would be more content to stay in the
fields, knowing that no grower is going to bid a higher
price for their services. With a fair crop and fair
prices for picking they can make excellent wages at the
price fixed by the growers.
Many of the Valley farmers seem to have the idea
that it is not necessary to join the organization. They
state they propose to pay the organization price AMI
abide by its rules, but they do not consider the fact
that the cotton pickers will have little or no regard for
n weak organization and will canvass the unorganized
farmers for higher bids. The stronger the organiza-
ton is, the wider its influence and the more effective
its efforts to maintain a uniform price throughout the
Valley.
One OF the most encouraging features in eonnee-
ton with the cotton season is the fact that Willacy,
Nueces, Jim Wells and Kleberg counties are now well
organized. If Cameron and Hidalgo counties succeed
in perfecting organizations that will include at least
a majority Of the cotton growers, the labor situation
throughout all Of South Texas will be materially i'm
proved. The movement has been inaugurated and
there should be no delay on the part Of growers in
pushing it with all possible speed in all parts Of the
Valley.

Investigate School Propaganda

Recent disclosures before the federal trade com
mission regarding the alleged attempt of public utili-
ties representatives to disseminate propaganda through
the schools against public and municipal ownership
was the chief topic Of conversation among the 10000
school men and women who assembled in Minneapolis
for the sixty-ninth annual convention Of the National
Education Association. The board of directors of the
association appointed a committee Of ten to determine
the extent to which such information had been circu-
lated and to recommend remedies.
Paul S. Clapp, managing director Of the National
Electric Light Association, informed the educators thar
his association welcomed the closest scrutiny Of the in
formation sent out to the schools, which, he said, had
been supplied first at the request Of teachers. He
asserted that the association had supplied the schools
with information, not propaganda.
Miss Cornelia S. Adair Of Richmond =, 1,
dress to the convention, touched upon the subject.
stating that teachers should use utmost care to pre-
ven dissemination Of propaganda Of any kind through
the schools. The public schools Of the United States
are attended BY more than 100000 Americans II The
most impressionsble periods of their lives" Miss Adair
said. The slant Of their thinking will determine n,
public policy Of tomorrow. For this reason the utmost
care must be taken to avoid the introduction into tbe
public schools Of propaganda Of a kind that will biaz
their future judgment"
The secretary Of the educators reported that @wbi,a
the evidence in the hearing of the federal trade COM
mission is not yet complete, it appears to show that the
utility service bureaus have attempted to carry ont the
e"""B propaganda into the
schools; that they employed scores Of college mr.
iessors to lecture in schools and colleges; that they
used their influence through school channels and
through publishers Of textbooks to force changes in
texts satisfactory to their purposes-many changes
actually having been made; that in some states he
tween $4,000 and 100000 was used, a part Of which
was used 10 reach the children in the schools and
students in high schools and colleges, and that salaries
were paid % those on the payroll OF educational insti-
tutions."
Nothing in recent years has aroused the edurs+orx
Of the nation to the same degree as the disclosures If
the federal hearing. That they have unwittinglv been
made the instruments of designing financiers and mol.
iticans, is their belief, and it will result n careful an.

SP0RTSMEN REGRET
PASSING OF TUNNEY
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK. August 1.-The passing
of Gene Tunney is a source Of genuine
regret to all Sportsmen and devOtees
OF the boxing game. Making his bow
at this time, after convincing display
of his prowess as a fighting champion
Is but another instance of Genes abhor-
renee Of anything verging on the tinsel
of hero worship.
Tunney could Just as well have kept
his secret and travelled throughout Eu-
rope as "the champion" and received
the adulation OF the fight crowd. AS a
champion he would have been entitled
TO more recognition than as retired
leader.
Just what niche Tunney will occupy
in the annals of fistdom is a matter
for time to decide. There Is no doubt
that Gene did much TO erase the gen.
eral opinion that he was lucky cham
pion" by the easy manner in which he
handled Tom Heeney. But there always
Will be those who will say that Heeney
was given preference over Jack Shsrks-
even though the latter was held to a
draw by the New Zealander and sound
ly trounced by Johnny Risko.
There are many who will say that
Tunney had no business to retire ut
the peak of his career Although the
former champion saws that the field
is barren of any one who could give
him any sort of fight, many fans will
disagree with MIN.
According to those who take the mega
tive side Tunney should have demon
strated his views by cleaning up the
class as Jim Jeffries did before he went
into retirement. Tunney took counsel
with himself and decided to retire,
leaving a belt for others to strive for.
Gene Tunney's statement is irTe-
vocable There is no chance OF drag
ging him back again. The fans have
learned by this time that when Gene
says thing. he means it. Gene is
gone, and the boxing game loses q great
sportsman and greater fighter.
