RAILROAD DENIES
union VICTORY

HOUSTON, Feb. 27.-Officials of
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
are being forced to qualify their notes
of jubilation at what they have been
calling "the outstanding victory of the
age" in the decision Of Judge J. G..
Hutcheson, under which the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks thought it
was given the right to organize the
workers on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road
AS result of Judge Hutcheson's
decision union officials claimed that
they would be recognized as the rep
resentatives of the roads clerical en-
ployes." They have supposed also
that the company union, one of the
issues involved in the injunction pro-
ceedings, would be scrapped COM
pletely.
They have been forced to recon-
slider their views as to the value of
injunction efforts through the stand
adopted by officials of the railroad.
H. M. Lull, executive vice president
of the road has summoned that "The
courts order does not require US to
conduct any negotiations with the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks" At the same time the
company officials announced that
they would take an appeal to the high
er courts to reverse the recent de-
cision.

Cotton Condition
Mixed, Expert AT
u. of I. Asserts

AUSTIN, Feb. Resentment in
the cotton situation Is mixed &C
cording to Bervard Nichols, editor
of the Texas Business Review pub
lished by the bureau Of business re-
search Of the University Of Texas
"Most factors on the supply side are
bullish,- Mr.. Nichols noted in the
February issue of the Review which
will be ready for publ :tion DON
1.-The past seasons crop was re-
latively light, consumption is at a
record rate and exports, although
below those of "a year ago, are
heavy" Mr.. Nichols said. "More-
over, industrial expansion is making
Roadway, thereby strengthening the
demand for cotton. Partly offsetting
these favorable influe- ces is the
slow spot demand, the poor yarn
market. decreased consumption and
exports and the possibility Of in
creased acreage during the coming
year. Too. fertilizer sales have in
creased sharply and it is generally
conceded that the recent cold spell
killed large numbers Of boil weeyil.
This divergence Of opinion was
soon reflected in the market. The
trade concluded that the bearish
, factors o~utweighed the bullish in
~fluences and as a result prices re-
declined rather sharnlv. December
New York futures were quoted at
1858 cents at the beginning of jan
uary and closed on Panuary 81 at
17.15 cents or a loss Of S7.65 per
bale.
"Ginnings in Texas prior to jan
uary IS as reported by the Census
Bureau amounted to Abb 900 bales.
Since running bales in the state are
averaging considerably over 500
pounds, it seems quite likely that
the department of agriculture's es-
innate OF 4,2s0.0 900 bales will be har-
vested. Practically all cotton has
been gathered. A recent survey by
the state commissioner Of agricul-
ture indicates that farmers in Texas
are holding over a half a million
bales and are asking 20 cents OF
better for il.

LOWER PRICES
BOOST DEMAND
Chrysler Interest Ii
Greater Than Ever;
Quality Same

Greater public interest in Chrysler
cars than ever before at this season
Of any year has followed the lower
ing Of prices, for its new "52" and
great new "62". according to reports
received by j. w. Frazer, Chrysler
sales manager. The savings to the
public range from $50 20 500 on
various body styles.
In the "52" line three body styles,
two of them closed cars, are now
priced at $3.50 at the factory. They
are the coupe, two-door sedan and
roadster. In the "62p line the bust
ness coupe is factory priced at
S1065. the roadster at Sl075 and the
two-door sedan at $l095.
Distributors and dealers through
out the country are reporting great
er attendance at their showrooms
and larger buying volume, with
many orders being booked for future
delivery. according to factory check
ings. Among the largest cities 10 re-
port definite sales increases are New
! York, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia
Boston. N'eveland. st. Louis, Cincin-
1 natl, Atlanta, Baltimore, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Dal'
las. Smaller market centers from
every part of the country have also
felt the greater Chrysler buying.
Chicago reports a greater atten'
dance at Chrysler salesrooms during
the week following the announce
ment of lower prices than durinG
any previous entire MONTH Of Jan.
uary. Both in New York and Detroit
more retail orders for '52" and 49,
cars were written during the weel
following the announcement Of thu
savings than during all OF January
1927.
Mr.. Frazer points out that greater
public demand, which has resulted
in Chrysler achieving, for 1928
third place among all motor cal
manufacturers in the sales records
Of the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce. has made these sub
stantial savings in cost to the gener
al public possible.
