HOWARD TO HANDLE
GIANT COTTON POOL
Iliteraatlnally Known Cotton Man En-
Kaged by Carolina and Ala. Co-
Operatives—W. A. Keeves And B.
B. Cheek Appointed To Important
Positions In Georgia Association.
Chessly B. Howard, of Atlanta,
known internationall as probably
the ablest cotton merchant in the
Southeast, has been elected manager
of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co
operative Association, According to
announcement made Saturday by
President J. E. Conwell.
Mr. Howard will handle the cotton
and also of the North Carolina and
Alabama associations, both of wLich
were organized on the Sapiro plan.
The announcement of the engage
ment of Mr. Howard will give a tre
mendous imuetus to the marketing as
sociations. The position is the most
important in the organization. As
was well understood by those advo
cating the Sapiro plan, the success
of the movement depends largely on
the competency and the chatrer of
the sales manager.
Mr. Howard will handle this year
the cotton of more than 50,000 pro
ducing members who raised in 1920
800,000 bales of cotton.
President Conwell also announced
two other appointments of importance
to the Georgia association; W. A.
Keeves, of LaGrange, to be in charge
of the warehouse department and B.
B. Cheek, of Gainesville to be traffic
manager.
Interesting negotiations marked the
engagement of Mr. Howard. President
Conwell and other leading spirits in
the Georgia association have been con
vinced for some time that Mr. How
ard was the outstanding man for the
position. But before the matter was
taken up with him the field was can
vassed thoroughly and advice obtain
ed from the leading business men of
the section. This investigation
strengthened their conviction. When
the matter was laid before Mr. How
ard he professed his interest but said
he could not go into the matter until
he had made an exhaustive study cf
the history of the Georgia association
and of the Texas and Oklahoma asso
ciation which functioned last fall.
When he had completed this study, he
informed President Conwell that he
was convinced the plan was sound.
But by this time, another situation had
developed- Some months previously
Mr. Howard had withdrawn from the
firm of Inman & Howard. A big Liver
pool firm had then offered him a part
nership and the position of American
representative. His brother, Troup
Howard, was on the ocean, going to
close the partnership deal. A cable
gram halted those negotiations. The

ciations then joined with Georgia and
a proposition was made which Mr.
Howard accepted.
Mr. Howard has been in the cotton
business for more than 30 years. For
many years he had been a general
l partner and active man in the firm
of Inman & Howard and its predeces
sors. This firm has handled as high
! as 300,000 bales of cotton in one year
selling in foreign as well as domestic
markets.
Among those attending the meeting
that selected Mr. Howard were Presi
dent J. S. Kernachan, Charles W. Rit
tenour and H. S. Houghton of the
Alabama association; president tW.
' *l. Austin and Ur. B. W. Kilgore of
the. Nortli Carolina association. Dr.
j Kilgore is also director of the exten-'
sion service of the North Carolina
State College of Agriculture, The
meeting of the directors of the three
associations was held at the offices of
the Georgia association, which was
represented by President J. E. Con
well and members of the executive
committee.
On assuming his duties as sales
manager, Mr. Howard said:
“ Ihave studied co-operative mar
keting andi believe it to be absolutely
sound and practicable as applied to
cotton. I have had ia long and wide
experience as a cotton merchant, cov
ering all foreign as well as domestic
fields. I have undertaken to sell to
; the best advantage the cotton pooled
I by the North Carolina, Georgia and
i Alabama Co-operative Maketing As
i sociations. I have all the confidence.
| that I can sell the cotton of the mem
! bers of those associations for its true
value, based on the grade and staple
which will mean more money for
them than they have been getting un
der the present system.
“I have severed my connections
with all my former business interests
and my sole and only business now is
to sell the cotton of the members of
the North Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama associations, for as much as it
will bring, in the highest markets.”
W. A. Reeves, who has been se
lected as head of the warehouse de
partment of the Georgia association,
is also a vice president. He was rear
ed on the farm and has been identified
with the business interests of La-
Grange, his present home, for more
than 30 years; 20 years in the bank
ing business andi 15 years in fertilizer
manufacturing and operating a large
cotton storage warehouse. He was I
one of the incorporators of the Dun
son Cotton Mills at LaGrange, one of
the largest and most successful iin the
South, and he is a director of the La
Grange Banking & Trust Company.
Three years ago he sold his ware
house andretired from active busi
ness except farming.
The warehousing department will
have charge of receiving and storing
the members' cotton at the various
warehouses and concentration points
in the state.
B. B. Cheek, the traffic manager will
supervise the shipments of all cotton
and adjust all claims for members
and the association, as well as other
matters that come witMn the traffic

Mr. Cheek has had 26 years of ac

past five years has been traffic manag

Speaking of the sp l otions, Presi
dent Conwell said:
“Our executive committee has made
a thorough investigation of every
man selected and we are confident
that we have some of the best and
most competent men for their respec
tive duties.
“Mr. Howard, our sales manager
for the three state associations, is an
expert cotton salesman and has been
a success in his line of business for
a number of years. He has an envia
ble reputation for integrity and hon
esfy of purpose, and in Mr. Reeves
and M. Cheek, we have most capable
and thoroughly competent men.
“Our first job was to organize the
association and that was successfully
done. Our second task was to secure
credits for advances to our members
and this was accomplished a short
time ago. We are now building our
machine for actual opeatlon and du
ring the pst few days we have made
wonderful progress with this phase of
the work.
“Within the next few days we will

DO THE STRIKING SHOPMEN RECEIVE
A LIVING WAGE?
B. M ’ Jewell, head of the striking shop crafts union, is quoted by the Associated Press as follows:
“The Railway Labor Board has attempted to establish wages which for a large percentage
of the men concerned will not provide the minimum amount found by the Goyernment officials
to be necessary to maintain a worker and his family in a condition of decent living.”
The sole issue between the striking shopmen of the Central of Georgia Railway and the United States Railway Labor
Board is the scale of wages fixed by the latter. Since it is the public’s welfare that will suffer from any interruption to
traffic, and since public opinion will ultimately settle the matter, the public is entitled to have the facts plainly stated.
The people have a right to know the amount of monthly income these men are receiving and the amount of the reduction
in dollars and cents, against which they are protesting by means of the strike.
Briefly stated, members of seven of the eight striking crafts will receive a reduction from $157.08 per month to
$142.80 per month, a difference of $14.28 per month. Members of the eighth craft will receive a reduction from $140.88
per month to $128.52 per month, a difference of $18.36 per month.
In order to put the matter plainly before the public, we present the changes in the hourly rates that the Central has
paid since before the beginning of Government control.

After deducting Sundays and Holidays, the average number of working hours per month, based on an eight-hour
day, is 204 hours. On this basis, the monthly wage of these men is shown below, in dollars and cents.
December May July July
1917 ' 1920 1921 1922
Machinists, $103.02 $173.40 $157.08 $142.80

Electricians, - - * - - 91.80 173.40 157.08 142.80
In addition to this amount, all of these men are paid for an extra hour each week for checking in, although this
service is performed within the eight hours for which they are paid the hourly rate. The minimum monthly wage, stated
above, does not include pay for time worked in excess of eight hours, and many of them receive extra compensaiion
in that way.
The opportunity for an earning capacity above the minimum monthly wage is shown by the following actual figures
of maximum earnings of shop employes during the montn of May, 1922: A Machinist at Macon Shops, $213.64; a Boiler
maker at Columbus, $241.10; a Blacksmith at Savannah, $190.97; a Coach Carpenter at Savannah, $179.99; a Car Repairer
at Chattanooga, $203.04; a Painter at Savannah, $169.01; a Sheet Metal Worker at Columbus, $193.50; an Electrician
at Macon, $198.28.
You will note from the above tables that the various classes of shop employes are now receiving a wage !n excess
of that prevailing in December, 1917, by the following percentages;
Per Cent.
Machinists, ------- - 38.6
Blacksmiths, - ------ 33.3
Boiler Makers, ------- 32.0
Passenger Car Men, ------ 50.1
Freight Car Men, ------- 53.7
Painters, - -- -- -- - 50.5
Sheet Metal Workers, - - - - - - 38.6
Electricians, ------- - 55.5
Against this increased wage it is fair to make an offset, represented by the increased cost of living, and that ha s
been ascertained by Government officials to be 17.2 per cent. It is plain, therefore, that after making allowance for the
increased cost of living, every class of these shop employes is receiving substantially better pay than they voluntarily
accepted before the World War.
The public can form its own oonclusion as to whether a minimum monthly wage scale of from $128.52 to $142.80 is
sufficient, under reasonable expenditures, to maintain them in comfort.
