B|LDO COTTON PLAN
STUDIED BY SOUTH
Georgia Miller Starts Drive
to Leave Third of Crop.
Others Get Plea.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, August l2.-The
South today gave thought to suggss-
tons that 1t throw away a third of
its 1881 cotton crop as one solution
to the surplus problem complicated by
the Governments forecast Of Is 900,
900 instead Of a 10000, 0o0-bale pro.
duction this year.
Varied comment came from official
and unof1cial sources on the proposal
of Gov. Bilbo Of Mississippi that third
Of the 1891 cotton be left unpicked
in the fields.
D. A. Jewell, president Of q cotton
mill at Chickamauga, Ga, followed
Gov Bilbo's suggestion by launching
a campaign TO cause cotton planters
to pillow up every third row of cotton.
He said he had enlisted the support
of Gov. Richard B. Russell, Jr., Of
Georgia.
Gov. B. M. Miller Of Alabama sug-
gested that Gov. Bilbo's proposal was
''unsound, unwise and impractical of
application" but added that he was
giving his ''wholehearted support to
efforts Of agricultural forces based on
sound economics and wise farm man
agement to prevent q recurrence of
present conditions"
Gov. Hunt of Arizona announced
he planned a conference with Arizona
cotton growers, marketing and financ-
ing associations to obtain their opinion
on Gov. Bilbo's suggestion before CIV
ing his views.
The suggestion was sent by Gov.
Bilho to Governors Of all cotton grow
ing States.

i. S. GIVEN WHEAT
INFORMATION PLAN
Proposal of London Farley Is
Put Before Officials as
Olsen Returns.
nr the Associatsd Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal for American participa-
ton in an international wheat infor-
nation service is before the State De-
partment for approval.
The plan was evolved at the recent
London meeting Of exporting nations
convened by Canadian High Commis-
sioner Ferguson in an effort to relieve
the troubles of the worlds wheat farm
ers. It's purpose is to supplement ex-
isting information services on supply
and demand in the hope that an ad-
justment between the two can be ef-
fected.
Mis- A. Olsen, chief Of the Agricul-
ture Departments Economics Bureau,
returned to his office this week after
serving as one Of the two American
delegates to the conference Samuel
r. McKelvie, former member Of the
Farm Board, was the other.
Olsen remained in London for q
meeting of a conference committee in
July which drafted the proposal for the
information service. This was the only
concrete result of the discussions par
ticipated in by representatives from
1kuGblds AL kC1lblldt &1AADbl d4An shlu Adit-
ada, among others. Efforts to de-
termine upon an export quota plan for
the next year as means Of stabilizing
wheat prices or to recognize the need
for acreage reduction In strong resolu-
lions failed. Russia insisted upon q
pre-war export quota basis. while the
American delegates had no authority 10
enter into such an agreement.
The proposal has been referred back
to other interested governments for
action. Each probably would have a
permanent member Of the information
service, which would collect facts and
figures on acreage planted, crop con-
ditions, prices and exports. American
participation probably win be presented
before Congress also, as it would entail
expenditure of Government funds.
The preamble sets forth the world
wide depression as one of the major ills
of wheat producers and cites overpro-
duction as another disturbing factor.
It may lead to more definite interna-
tionsl cooperation to solve wheat din
culties.
Meanwhile the Farm Board awaits
receipt of a German offer for the
purchase of about SOC, 900 tons OF wheat.
No information has been received, al
though the offer was said to have been
presented to American negotiators.

certain districts on the Western Coast
began to demand an exclusion Of Phil

TO keep a few thousand Filipinos

PITTMAN WILL PRESS
SILVER CONFERENCE
Returns From Orient With Views
Strengthened That Meeting
Should Be Held.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-Still
campaigning for an international silver
conference, Senator Key Pittman of
Nevada, Democrat, landed here yester-
day after a three-month study of the
silver question in the Orient He said
he hoped a worldwide conference would
be called by the President of the United
States.
THE price Of Silver must come back in
order to bring the foreign trade Of more
than half the world to normal" he
said.
Senator Pittman announced his in
tention to take a resolution to the Sem
ste to ask the President again to invite
the nations of the world to a silver
conference. A previous resolution, given
to President Hoover by the Senate,
failed to obtain executive action.
A conference, the Senator told news
paper men, would be directed to ana
ly2e the causes of the present low price
of silver, with a view to removing the
causes. He said he believed an inter-
national agreement to cease melting
silver coins and dumping the metal on
the market would correct the situation.

COOLIDGE REFUSES
STAND AS TO BEER
Ex-PreSident, Reported About
to Favor Return, Has
Nothing" to Say.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, August 12.-Former
President Calvin Coolidge, arriving here
from Northampton, Mass, to attend to-
days monthly meeting of the Board of
Directors of the New York Life Insur-
ance Co. has nothing to ssy-at this
time, at least-on the subject of beer.
Wall Street heard a fast-traveling
rumor Tuesday afternoon that MFR. Cool
idge was about to come out in favor of
the return of beer. as a measure to re-
lieve unemployment and reduce the
Federal treasury's deficit. So when the
former Chief Executive arrived on New
Haven train No. 81 from Northampton
Tuesday night, this reporter was lurk-
ing in Grand Central Station to pop
the beer question.
Nothing" For Answer.
Accustomed to spotting ex-presidents
in the midst of the common people, the
reporter inserted himself into the crowd
and edged alongside Mr.. Coolidge as he
walked through the station.
Out Of the tail Of an eye that doesn't
miss much in this world, and never has,
Mr.. Coolidge perceived that a strange
craft was ranging alongside. His eyes
lips grew even tighter. His steps quick
ened. The reporter, coming squarely
alongside, spoke distinctly
Mr.. Coolidge. q moment, II you
pleased"
Mr. Coolidge, forging straight onward,
eyes straight front, replied without the
slightest change Of expression:
Nothing whatever to sayl"
But If you please, Mr.. Coolidge.
there is report going about that you
are about to declare yourself

FavOrs With q Grin.
The ex-President, without pausing
in his stride, turned his lean visage Just
q trif1e toward the right and favored
the reporter with grin. In any ether
person-fron any one less distinguish
ed-one might have dubbed it q sly
grin. But with Mr.. Coolidge, so familiar
over period of years with repelling the
rapiers and even the broadswords of the
press. 1t was taken for what it was
the gesture Of good nature and amiabil-
ity from the winner to the loser.
The ex-President seemed to be in
first rate health and as spry, If not ac-
tually spryer, than when he was so
coolly holding down the Job that Mr.
Hoover Is now sitting upon. Few per-
sons would take Mr.. Coolidge to be a

army could have bought and con-
sumed II they could have been main
tanned in reasonably steady employ
ment would have prevented 3 ccnSinu-
alton Of the distressing situation which.
now exists. In the light OF these eco
nomic facts it is amazing to observe
the statements of some who propose q
further impairment of the purchasing
power OF the limited number of workers
now employed through the imposition
OF reduction in wages.
Unemployment viii continue Just as
long as the purchasing power of the
masses OF the people rests below and
beneath the ability to produce manu-
factured goods.
Wages Must BE Raised.
Low wages mean unemployment,
human distress and human suffering.
The present unemployment situation
win never be relieved until wages are
built up so that men and women can
buy and consume.
The executive council commends
very highly those employers and own
ers of industry who are subscribed to
the high wage philosophy enunciated
by the American Federation Of Labor
and who during this depression have
steadfastly discharged their obligation
and kept the promise made to the Pres
ident OF the United States to maintain
the wage structure.
"On the other hand, the council con-
dennis, in q most vigorous way, the
action Of these employers who have
taken advantage Of human distress and
human suffering to impose and force
wage reductions in spite of the protest
Of the workers involved as well as these
who represent them"

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August IL.
William Green, president Of the
American Federation OF Labor. last
night issued a statement declaring tbs
executive council in session here had
reaffrIned its opposition to wage cuts
and that the wage scale must be main
tanned to keep up the purchasing
power of the masses
The statement was issued after the
council had studied reports on the I'M
employment situation. It said:
1.-THE Executive Council Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor reiterated and
reaffirmed. its original position in op-
position TO attempted reductions in
wages. 1t Is firmly Of the opinion that
the distressing unemployment situation
can be overcome only through the de-
velopment Of the purchasing power OF
the masses of the people to its maxi
mum capacity. The facts are over
whelmingly In favor of the position as
sumed by the American Federation Of
Labor. The widespread Unemployment
which prevails throughout the Nation
Is due to lack Of buying power upon
the part Of the masses of the people.
Purchasing Power Lost.
1.-THE purchasing power Of more than
5000, 900 wage earners has been totally
destroyed because they have been forced
into unemployment. There must be
added to this large number many mil

The distress of the agricultural in
dustry has revived old and brought new
| farm relief proposals to the attention
| OF official Washington.
Bumper crops, existing SURPRISES, low
| prices, lack of demand and markets,
scarcity of credit, mortgages and un-
paid bills, drought and grasshoppers
have increased the farmers problem.
With Congress converting in Decem-
| Der and a presidential election next

| contrast, the National Grange is again
advocating the export debenture. Repre-
| sentatiyes of both nationally known

| OF these plans will be urged in the
next Congress.
Nye Favors Price Fixing.
Senator Nye, Republican, North Da-
kota, wants the Government to engage
in a program of price fixing for two
or three years. and has recommended
debt holiday for farmers. Somewhat
the same thought is held by Repre-
sentative Wright Patman, Democrat,
Texas, who urged President Hoover to
call special session to set q minimum
! price. on principal agricultural COM
modities and crude oil
Patman believes the minimum on
cotton should be 20 cents q pound:
wheat, 81 bushel: corn, 81 a bushel,
and oil, 81 or more barrel
| At present the index of farm prices

ture Department began keeping charts

when the Farm Board refused to with

markets and now Southern cotton
planters oppose any possible sale of
| the boards sterilization cotton to
Germany.
Hoover Against Debenture.
President Hoover is on record against
the export debenture, but has not
stated his views on the equalization
fee. Calvin Coolidge, however, twice
vetoed bill containing the latter
provision.
Mr.. Hoover manifested his interest
IN the farmers plight recently by ask
ing the Farm Board to consider a new
wheat sales policy. He also condemned
spectators selling wheat short and
promised farmers in Northwestern and
Central States, ridden by drougffA and
graSshoppers, that Federal and State
resources would be available. About
S46,OO0,00O was loaned to farmers In
the drought areas this Spring, and
about $I5,000,000 Is available for the
Northwestern States.
