Cotton South's major crop
For the first time since 1929, the
south has a billion-d dollar cotton
crop. According to, the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange in its an
nual statistics, the south's major
staple crop for the 1936-37 sea-
son is valued at 81, 113, 233, 900,
cotton and seed. Southern repre-
sentatives in congress are worried
over the price drop due to the i'm
mense crop.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 81.
Montgomery county's plan to
work short-term Jail prisoners on
the, county roads lay dormant to-
day while officials awaited the
sentencing of a sufficient number
Of prisoners to make the proposal
practical.
It was discovered during a con.
ference here yesterday between
Commissioner Charles E. King,
Judge Charles w. Woodward, of
the Circuit Court, and Judge
Harold C. Smith, of the Police
Court, that unless it is stipulated
in the jail comm tment that
prisoners may be worked on the
roads the county has no authority
to place them at work Only two
prisoners in this category are now
in the county Jail, Commissioner
King said.
Meanwhile two or three possible
projects have been whipped into
shape and as soon as 10 or IL men
have been sentenced a crew will
be placed at work.

TEXTILE MILLS
SPEEDING UP
PRODUCTION

ATLANTA, Ga, March 81
QNSO.-Enjoying one Of their
greatest booms in more than a
half-dozen years, textile mills
throughout the South have
speeded up production to new
peaks and wages of employees are
moving toward all-time highs,
survey by International News Serv-
ice revealed today.
The survey showed that virtually
every mill in North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi was working two shifts
totalling 16 hours. In some in
stances, mills were working the
clock around.
Accompanying the rise in pro-
duction, more than a dozen COM
panies, paced by the Bibb Manu-
featuring Company at Macon, Ga,
one Of the largest in the South,
have increased wages represent
ing an aggregate hike to workers
of more than 100000 annually.
And the possibility was seen that
wage increases by other textile
plants would more than double
this figure.
Union Heads Active
Meanwhile, the Committee for
Industrial Organization, opening
regional headquarters here, moved
forward with its drive to enroll
more than 100000 textile workers
under union banners.
A. Steve Nance, regional C. I. o.
director, who is in charge of the
unionization drive, declared that
the movement will continue.
Though admitting that several of
the mills have increased wages,
Nance stated:
eve, of course, welcome all
wage increases, but in some
cases the increases do not raise
the standard to the proper
level"
He pointed to the increasing
cost Of living as one of the factors
that virtually necesSitated pay
boosts for the textile workers.
In declaring the unionization
drive would continue, Nance de-
clared that the prime purpose of
the. C. I. o. movement was to
advance the standards of the
wor9-ers in the textile industry and
to- cooperate Il stabilization to the
mutual advantage of all parties
connected with the industry"
A0-Hour Week, Aim
Nance said it is the unions hope
to. restrict the work week to 10
hours.
Despite the drive, there were,
outwardly, few signs of an i'm
pending fight in the textile indus
try for in Chapel Hill, N. c., DR..
Claudius T.. Murchison,s president
Of the Cotton Textile Institute. de
clared there would be no con,
certed effort on the part of com,
panies to block the C. I. o. drive.
In contrast, he said:
"There will be concerted ac-
tiOn on the part of the industry
with respect to improved wages,
shorter working hours, elimina-
ti0n Of child labor, and eStab-
liShment Of a code of fair prac-
ticeS, all of which look to
greater stability in the indus
try"
