For Holding
MONTGOMERY, Ala., September]
4.—The Alabama divison of the Am-I
erican Cotton Association yesterday i
at its convention voted to fix 40'
cents, middling basis, as the price for
the present crop of cotton. It was |
adopted after a very spirited discus-i
sion. Fourteen states were repre
sented on the committee of the Na
tional American Cotton Association,
making the report.
The price-recommending commit
tee brought in a report fixing 40
cents as the proper figure for the
minimum price, middling, and im-j
mediately a discussion was precip
itated. Many of the members want
ed it fixed at 45 cents. The price- I
recommending committee had con
sidered this price-fixing matter for
three days, and it is understood that;
President J. S. Wannamaker was>
in favor of the 40-cent price for the
present crop.

can Cotton Association next spring.
The delegates also decided to appoint
a special committee to consider the
plan suggested for forming a large]
cotton export corporation.
Addressing the convention, Dr.!
John A. Todd, English economist, de-:
dared the law of supply and demand:
must ultimately govern the price of
cotton, but at present this law isi
inoperative because of abnormal con
ditons in Europe, he said.
Europena countries are unable to I
buy what they need at the prevailing;
rates of exchange, the speaker de-j
dared, and the situation is further
depressed by the shortage of coal,
industrial troubles and general in-,
stability of governments.
He strongly advised developing ■
the better grades of cotton, which
India does not produce, harvesting,
and marketing it better in the future,
as some of the remedies to bring
about better prices.
During the sessions a resolution
that the Alabama legislature be re
quested to enact a law imposing al
tax of 10 cents per bale on the cot
ton crop of the state foi the bene
fit of the farmers, was adopted by j
the Alabama division, and the sum of;
SIO,OOO was pledged toward a fund]
of $50,000 for the use of the na-i
tional organization in prosecuting its
i work.
j Spirited attacks were launched at
the Tederal reserve bank and the de-1
partment of justice by W. C. Coker,
an Alabama merchant, who declared
they were discriminating against the
cotton-raiser in the interest of or-;
ganized labor. “Labor demands
shorter hours, more pay and cheap
er food,” he said, “and the depart-;
ments at Washington seem determin-I
ed to see that labor gets it, regard
less of what happens to the farmer.”
Mr. Coker declared the federal re
serve board had gone entirely out
side its province in attempting to
deflate the price of cotton, while
the price of other commodities stay
up.
