In connection with the interview Mr.

President of Farmers’ Un
ion Says Jordan Made
Bear Market.
President J. H, Barrett, of the Farm-
cr*’ Union, In passing through Atlanta
Sunday night on his return from To
peka. Kan., gave out the following
statement. In which he scored Presi
dent Harvle Jordan, of the Southern
('otton Aaaoclatlon. tor hla "connec
tlon* with Wall street" and for hla
statement following the recent frost,
which, according to Mr. Barrett, had
the effect of bearing the cotton mar
ket:
To iin* Public:
My attention ba« Just l*s*a culled to *
communication of Mr. Harris.Jordan, from
which I make extracts ns follows:
"It ims been reported that Barrett was a
rural school teacher In connection with hla
-a# a lecturer, lint whatever their previous
avocations. is»lh are practically nnknowa In
the i-otton world, and iiiifsuiillnr with the

some of their letders. especially Barrett
and Duckworth, lu trying to stir up strife
nt this critical time. The rauk nnd fllo of
the uuloii are not regionalhlc for the nets
and doings of some of their short-sighted
leaders,’’
I am amazed nt llle lone of Mr. Jordan s
communication. In the first place. In my
former statement on the subject of bis un
fortunate Interview I made no personal
charges against him. I simply criticised
him. as 1 fifld n right to do, for having per
mitted himself to lie tim'd hy the benrs III
bestlug down the price of cotton. I simply
stated that It was most r"- 1 —’ •
one making the claims he ....

"this year’* cotton crop Is the 8RCOND
largest In the history of the Month." If
that Hint eluent had mat from a recognised
bear Jt could have dope wo bnrm, but when
sent broadcast throughout the w'orhl as

which was unalm<Misly Indorsed by the

deratriick by Mr. Jordan’s attitude that
they adopted resolution* nuking the fsruiera
of the Mouth to |»Ny no more attention to
his advice on the Mtilijrct of cotton.
That Wsshlugtou interview «.f Mr. Jor

Houtli mlllfoti* of dollars, and other Inter
views published since that tltne have had
almost as had an effect.
For Instance, my nttentlou was«c*llrd s
few days ago tp recent statements given
out by him In which, while ostensibly catch

Union after having refused to join pa In
Using that as the minimum aal* price, he

then goes cn to say. lu effect, that It Is nil
right to hold f»r 11 cents, for lie liellcrea
the fanners are entitled to that much for

he Iteifeve* that, why lu the name of com

"dend line," prnctl^nlly advising the farm
ers to sell nr 10 rents, notwithstanding otir
effort to hold at It rants, the price already
crossed, ns the result of the Farmers'

Mr. Jordan’s persistant talk about M-cant
