SENATE DELAYS
RELIEF BILL
ACTION
Surprise Follows Inability of
Democrats to Reach
an Agreement

Final action by the Senate
on the compromise So, ,122, ,OO0,-
600 unemployment relief bill
was delayed today for "a hours
at least when a caucus of
Democratic Senators failed to
reach an agreement on sup
porting the conference report.
The Democrats met for an
hour, discussing all phases of the
relief situation. They adjourned
just before noon, announcing
that another conference would be
held tomorrow. Meanwhile, no
action will be taken by the Senate
on the relief bill.
Failure of the Democratic Sena-
tors to agree on supporting the
bill occasioned much surprise. In
the House the bill was supported
by virtually the entire Democratic
membership, after Speaker Gar
ner clashed with President
Hoover over the inclusion of a
provision authorizing the Recon
struction Finance Corporation to
make loans to private corpora
tions and individuals.
There was so much opposition
from Democratic Senators to the
individual relief" clause that a
committee was named to confer
with Garner in hopes Of COM
promising the controversy be-
tween the Speaker and President
Hoover.
If Garner should agree to elimi-
nate the individual aid clause,
the conference report would be
rejected by the Senate. Then, a
new conference would be ordered
at which the bill would be modi-
fled to meet Mr.. Hoover's objec-

ward and frank story of his ex.

BIG DROP NOTED
IN COTTON
ACREAGE
Estimated Output Is Lower
Than Any Yield in This
Country Since 1922

The area of cotton in cult
vation in the United States on
July l was estimated by the
crop reporting board today at
100000 acres. Last years
acreage on the same date was
41,189,OOO.
The acreage as estimated is
.23.5 per cent below the record
acreage of 4S,730,000 planted in
1926, and it is lower than the
planted acreage Of any year since
1922.
Gain In Virginia
The estimated acreage in Vir.
ginia is 77,OO0, an increase Of 8
per cent.
All major States show reduc,
tions, ranging from rer cent in
Arkansas to ID per cent in
Georgia. A reduction Of 10 per
cent is estimated in Texas. In
North Carolina the reduction in
acreage is estimated at 6 per
cent; South Carolina, 10 per cent;
Tennessee, 5 per cent; Alabama,
10 per cent; Mississippi, 8 per
cent; Louisiana. 10 per cent, and
Oklahoma, II per cent.
Drop In Long Staple

forecast yield per harvested acre
applied to the acreage in cultiva-
ton on July less 10!year average

BOTH PARTIES

Senator William E. Borah (R(
of Idaho, who broke with Presi-

issues, regards both the Repub-

as unsatisfactory" it was
learned today.
Borah will take the stump dur
ing the coming campaign in be-
half of Individual Senators, seek
ing reelection, but will do moth
ing to aid President Hoover's can
didacy for reelection. His
speeches may react to the benefit
of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
Democratic nominee, but he will
say nothing friendly to the Demo
cratic platform.
He was reported as "dissatis-
fed with the Democratic declara-
tions on economic issues. A friend
of his said he saw no differ.
ence" between the two platforms,
aside from the declarations on
prohibition, and continued:
"He will make speeches to aid
some of his friends who seek
reelection to the Senate. He
has no intention now of sup
porting Governor Roosevelt, but
will speak his mind in the cam.
paign, even if his speeches do
help Roosevelt"

BAKER DEFENDS
STEEL MERGER

CLEVELAND, July 8 O.N.S).
Scoring the attempts to attach
fraud to the names Of the men
who negotiated the merger of
Youngstown Sheet and Tube and
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, New
ton D. Baker today resumed his
argument against the suit asking
81 ,00O, 900 in fees for the attorneys
who blocked the consolidation.
Baker was making the last
argument in behalf of the Sheet
and Tube concern, which is al
legged by the attorneys seeking
payment of their fees to have
been saved $4,000, 900 by the
merger Injunction.
In picturing Henry G. Dalton,
leading sponsor of the merger
deal, as Cleveland'S "pre-eminent
Citizen" Baker turned his guns
on Cyrus S. Eaton, anti-merger
leader, for his attack on the
credibility Of the mergerists.
Baker described Eaton as an
industrial Napoleon, who fought
the union Of the two concerns be-
cause "he feared the competition
Of youngstown and Bethlehem,
and added that "this is the con-
queror who makes the accusation

with little sympathy today.
With the exception of the Brit

the idea of q formal meeting.
