THERN
SPLIT IS
AID To
FOES
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News service


A cotton war flourished in the
Senate today over the Caraway anti.
cotton and grain gambling bill, with
the grain-growing West and the
cotton.growing South widely split
over the measure, and the industrial
East opposed to it.
The bill, which would prohibit
speculative trading in cotton and
grain futures. faced almost certain
defeat. due chiefly to the division
of opinion among Senators from
the cotton-growing States. There
was possibility that substitute
bill might be adopted, prohibiting
future trading in cotton only. ex-
cept by persons actually owning
cotton and then only through formal
contracts. The substitute would not
affect the grain markets.
Split Breeds Defeat
A score of efforts to provide Con.
gressional relief for cotton-growers
and general control of their specula-
tive markets have met defeat be-
cause of this split among the cotton
Senator's in the last ten years. The
cotton Senators have never agreed
as group on any one single form
of relief This division OF opinion
undoubtedly win bring rejection Of
the Caraway measure, as Senators
from the industrial centers have
exhibited pronounced opposition to it.
The Caraway bill--sponsored by
Senator Caraway Cd of Arkansas
would make tt unlawful to make or
enter a contract for the purchase or
sale for future delivery OF cotton or
grain without intending that such
cotton or grain shall be actually de.
rvered or received" 1t would pro-
hibit the sending Of all messages. by
mail or wire, relating to speculative
cotton deals.
George Has Substitute
The substitute. known as the Vim
cent bill. was sponsored by Senator
George Cd of Georgia. 1t would
prohibit cotton deals, except where
the seller is at the time of the max
ing of such contract the owner of
the actual physical property. 1t.
would create a number of cotton
contract markets" for handling these
