general conference in Memphis-over
in Tennessee. across the Mississippi
river from Arkansas Those who at
tended the conferences in past gen

some of the statements.
For here we have the Rev DR.. Ed

Pullen Memorial Baptist church, OF
Raleigh, NJ c., an outstanding clergy
man, attacking the profit system, as
serting that profits are based on COM
petition and that cooperative sys-

be established, abolishing profits.

I'VE cannot be reminded too often
that profit does not mean wages; and
that all the business in the world

DR.. Murchison advised textile COM

be advisable to withdraw from the
market until the situation could be
mapped out.
Many textile mills obtained injunc-
