FIGHT IS NEAR
Bankhead Foes and Allies
Go to Court A. Result
Of Injunction

HOUSTON, Aug. 2. R-Battle
lines were drawn Wednesday between
two groups Of Texas cotton ginners
as their fight over an injunction re-
straining enforcement Of the Bank
head Act moved toward federal
court.
Hearing In the case. In which one
group seeks modification and the
other wants an extension Of Fed
eral Judge Randolph Bryant's order
against enforcement CT the cotton
regulation measure, was set for
Thursday In federal court here.
The Texas Agricultural aSsocia-
tion, champion Of the AAA program.
announced retention Of former Gov
ernor Dan Moody to represent gin
ners seeking exemption from the in
junction, while members Of the Tex
rs Gotten Ginners association map
ped plans In their quest for an ex-
tension Of the court order.
After the injunction va granted
at Sherman July 10 ON the plea of
the ginnerS association and ID. G.
wallace Of Gunter that ginners
were unpaid enforcers Of the act,
federal agencies announced that no
more cotton bale tags would be is
sued in Texas.
Since cotton cannot be sold with
out the tags, opponents Of the in
junction predicted that IL modifica-
ton was not made the entire cot
ton crop of Texas would be tied up.
H. G. Lucas of Brentwood, presi-
dent Of the agricultural association,
said Moody would represent the as
ISOLATION and gtnners who had sent
In afidavits stating they were net
parties to the suit and wished to
operate according to provisions II
the Bankhead measure.
Striking back at what they called
a deliberate attempt to intimidate
the cotton ginners OF the state and
coerce them into repudiating their
litigation" a group Of ginners met at
Sherman Tuesday in defense Of the
injunction.
They filed In federal court at Sher-
man q motion seeking a temporary
injunction restraining w. A. Thomas
internal revenue collector for the
northern district of Texas. and Frank
Scofield, collector for the southern
district, from taking any steps to in
duce or compel d. G. Wallace. the
ginners association or any Texas
ginner to repudiate his connection
with the attack on the cotton meas
ure.
Specifically. the motion asked that
the collectors be restrained from re-
curing the affidavits as prerequisite
to issuance CT bale tags and from
distributing affidavits to ginners In
any effort to coerce them or to pre-
vent them from becoming parties tc
the suit or furnishing money for It's
prosecution.
Scofield had told az roup OF gin
ners at Waco that they could OBJ
tain bale tags through federal court
but he advised them &c wait develop
ments in the case before trying TO get
tags.
