GOV. LONG PUSHES
mo COTTON Plan
Urges Texas Legislatures
Special Session to Act
on Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, August 22.-As
echoes of the New Orleans Cotton Con-
ference died away today, Gov. Hney p.
Long, chairman of the Conference
Steering Committee, burned the wires in
a drive to get other Governors to call
their Legislatures TO enact law to pro-
hibit the raising of cotton next year as
recommended by the conference.
Gov. Long said the Louisiana Legis-
lature had "as good as passed the law
already" and he might call a special
session next week. He said Gov. 1. G.
Blackwood of South Carolina. who at
tended the conference and Endorsed the
Long mo 1882 cotton plan," probably
would act about the same time Louisiana
did.
Talks to Sterling.
Long also telephoned Gov. Ross
Sterling at Austin, Tex, urging him to
call his legislators for action. Later
the Texas Governor issued a statement
In which he said he would not call a
special session until I am sure that
the people want such action" He said
he was seeking expressions from farm
ers and people in general.
The fate of the Long plan rests in
the hands Of Texas. II Texas should
fail to concur in the New Orleans Con-
ference proposal, 1t would be dead, as
1t carried a proviso that 1t would not
become operative until legislation af-
fecting IS per cent of the domestic cot
ton area had been enacted, and the
Texas cotton fields represent more than
one-fourth Of this area.
Caraway FavOrs Plan.
Gov. Harvey Parnell of Arkansas was
quoted by Gov. Long as being "all right
on the plan." and Senator Thadderr
Caraway Of Arkansas said he favore =
the plan and he thought it has chance
OF becoming operative.
The Long plan was approved by the
conference along with an appendum by
Senator Caraway, suggesting the Fed
eral Farm Board purchase 5000 900
bales OF cotton to be allocated to the
farmers who agree not to grow cotton
next year.

made at Cooper Union meeting, May

means to avoid struggle and con-
tinued negotiations after the men,
bers decided to strike, even agreeing
to arbitration, which was rejected by
the employers.
The left wing group in the union
has called upon the workers to con-

Fight Finger Printing.


The action of the Lansing pole
under the orders of the governor,
are in line with the passage OF the
compulsory registration and fingel-
printing bill. The Council for the
Protection of Foreign Born of Dctrci,
has issued the following statement TO
all workers organizations, calling for
a united front to smash the finger
printing and registration of foreign
born:
"The Michigan state legislature
passed bill providing for compul-
sorry registration, finger printing and
photograplling of foreign-born work
ers, and for the mass deportation
of those who are unable to comply
with the provisions of the bill.
This bill was passed under the
direction of the motor manufacturers
of Michigan, with the direct support
of the federal immigration authori-
ties. 1t constitutes a serious menace,
not only to the foreign born, but to
all working people in the state OF
Michigan. The registration and fin
ger printing of the foreign-born
workers would inevitably lead to a
similar measure against the native
workers and in this manner Czar-
list passport system would be estab
lished, with every man, woman and
child subject to police supervision
over all of their movements.
The bosses will use this bill to in
timidate and terrorize the workers,
break strikes and prevent the star
wing unemployed from demanding
relief and unemployment insurance,
and thus reduce the standard of liv
ing of the entire working class
