FUEL) L. WHITE TALKS
OF RURAL ROUTES
Better Things in Store for
Rural Delivery Men, It
Is Promised.
"Paul Lindsay I* still president and
Atlanta gets the neat convention." re-
r-.svked Fred L. White, of Buckhead.
O.i Wednesday afternoon. "We
cnildn't ask for any more."
Mr. White la president of the Oeor-
«... Rural Letter Carriers' Association.
He has Just returned from the national
convention of letter carriers at Peoria,
i;:.. and I* enthusiastic over the out.
loah for better thints for the associa
tion and for individual carriers.
Fred L. White Is not only the young
e»t state president In the country', but
was about the youngest delegate at
the convention. He Is Just 22, but hie
earnest work for the association and
his ability to think and act made him
first choice for president at the conven
tion In Atlanta last July. He expects
to.do soipe things during the next year.
"It was a successful convention,"
he said. “There were SI delegates and
about 350 carriers at the convention
and we were treated royally. Oeofgla
hat) the second largest delegation, five
members, while Ohio, which has a
much greater membership, had only
seven.
"Paul Lindsay was elected national
president In spite of certain well organ
ised opposition and we thought that
was enough. But when we Invited the
next convention to Atlanta things came
our way and Milwaukee, which has-ex
pected to got the meeting withdrew
In the face of the evident determina
tion of. the delegates to come to At
lanta nnd sample some of the barbecue
Paul Lindsay promised them.
Big Growth Expected.
“The Georgia association haa now
but 3<t membera. We hope to make
It 1,000 before the next state conven
tion. That meets t.n the Fourth of
July and we must get ready to enten-
taln the national convention soon aft
erward.
“The association has outgrown Its
constitution In some ways and there
must be some changes made. I expect
this will be done easily. The associa
tion Is growing Into a big thing.
"I believe that a better time Is com
ing for rural carriers and that we shall
receive higher salaries soon. The con
vention decided to ask for an Increase
of-1250 a year, the average expense of
keeping a horse and wagon. At pres
ent the rural carriers receive very lit
tle In proportion to city carriers. But
the aaaorlaltlon Is making no demands,
only requests. W. R. Spillman,
superttendent of the rural route de
partment at Washington, made an ad
dress at the convention In which he In
timated that we should receive better
pay. P. V. De draw, fourth assistant
postmaster general, sent a very kind
letter which was appreciated."
Officers Re-elected.
The Peoria convention showed the
strength and Influence of the letter car.

JORDAN IS
SAYS C. S, BARRETT
President Farmers’ Union
Differs With Him as to
Cotton Crop.
Charles S. Barren, national presi
dent of the Fanners' Union. Is widely
at variance with Harvle Jordan, pres
ident of the Southern Cotton Associa
tion. In the statement recently made
In Washington that the present cotton
crop would he the second largest ever
produced In the South.
President Barrett says that the state
ments of President Jordan were In
stantly seised on by the bear element,
and the very next day a break oc
curred In the market. This downward
tendsney continued until reports of
continued had weather and consequent
deterioration of the crop served t<
check the had effect.
He quoted directly from press dis
patches utterances of President Jor-
dsn In Washington recently, but said
ha noticed that Mr. Jordan had since
published qualifying statements, but
which qnly corroborate hla Washington
remarks.
President Barrett saya that the
Farmers' Union stands pat on the 11-
cent proposition, and that they would
f et that price, too. He la en route to
opeka, Kansas, where he will attend
Monday a big conference of Western
producers. '
