1t may be thought that such a
break in the price of raw cotton as
that of 1926 would work to the ad-
vantage of manufacturers. In a
small way, this might be the case,
but in large way Its effect upon
them would be harmful. The max
ing of textiles is not gamble but
a permanent business which requires
an unceasing flow of cotton at de-
pendable prices. Farmers cannot
continue to grow the staple at a
loss; either they will adopt some
of the panic measures of crop re-
striction that have been so widely
advocated, or they will be forced
into other occupations. Either way
the mills will suffer. Farmers, gin
ners, warehousemen, shippers, man
ufacturers-all these will prosper
best and most permanently when
all may prosper together. This was
one of the great lessons of 1926. It
taught a wider appreciation of vol
untary cooperation.

Visible illustration Of the value
of such effort was not absent. Co.
operative cotton-mar,.eting associa-
tions had been formed in five of
the Southern States in 1921, and by
1926 they existed in the other eight.
These bodies included some 100000

This was in accordance with the

of gravitation, the movements of
the tides or any of the other laws

By the Autumn of 1927, there
came a jolt of different kind and
again many were caught unpre-
pared. The price of the staple shot
up to double that of the year before
because it had become evident that
the oncoming crop would amount
to only a little more than two
thirds of the previous one, and
eleven million bales of that had al
ready been shipped to foreign users.
It is easy enough to see all this
now in looking backwards, but such

fight in the Federal Circuit Court of
Appeals to have an eight-hour arbi-

trict Court upheld the arbitrators and
the carriers appealed to the Court of
Appeals, where they are again re-
pulsed.
The arbitrators also raised wages
