? COTTON CONGRESS j
COMES TO AN END
A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
IS TO BE PERFECTED.
Meet in Paris Next Year?Report of
Committee on Transportation is
Adopted?Objection to Government
Crop Reports.
Atlanta, Oct. I).?When the plan
\ adopted this afternoon by the luter%
national Conference of Cotton GrowI
crs and Spinners goes into elt'ect the
| cotton industry of the world, from
the time of the planting of the seed
to I ho time tin* mills turn out their
{roods, will ho under one great organization
of planters and spinners. The
international conference this afternoon
decided to make their organization
permanent, and in doing this,
will also invite the Continental Spinners'
association of Europe and the
Sea Island Cotton Growers' assoeiation
of the United States to become
f affiliated bodies with the association
. and to have representatives in the ext
ecutive committee which, under the
f plan adopted, is to be the governing
body of the international conference.
The plan adopted is subject
to the action of the bodies now forming
the international conference and
the two other great associations invited
to become members, but there
is little doubt that the action of the
conference will be approved bv these
bodies.
The international conference adjourned
late this afternoon. The (irst
meeting of the new world-wide or>
ganization may possibly be held in
Pari? next year us the International
{ Cotton Spinners' association of Eu ,
rope y^eets there and Herr Kuffler of
Vienna stated litis afternoon that dolegates
from all organizations will be
invited to attend.
The conference at its sessions today
took action that it is believed
will soon result in a vast improvement
in the methods of putting raw
| cotton into shape for handling by the
/ spinners with a consequent saving to
^ them of fully $25,000,000 a year, now
? losr, it has been asserted, by reason of
slipshod methods of baling.
A sharp fight was made over Congressman
Iletlin's resolution calling
on the United States congress and
the British parliament to regulate
cotton speculation, but the matter
was finally referred to the different
bodies for independent action. Two
of the affiliated bodies, the Farmers'
Union and Southern Cotton association.
later took favorable action on
this resolution.
The spinners, while admitting that
cotton speculation was an evil, yet
did not see how it could be eliminated
and the vote of the international conference
was four to one against conference
recommendation.
Government crop reports also came
in for their share of criticism. Here
too the conference refused to unite
\ in putting the powerful influence of
? the great organization behind the
movement favoring (he (TiscontinuJ
ance of the government reports.
)
Atlanta, C!a., Oct. 0.?The International
Col ton Spinners and Growers
Y this afternoon decided to form a permanent
organization, which will include
not only the associations now affiliated
but also the Continental Spinners'
association of Europe and the
?Sea Island Cotton Growers' association.
At the afternoon session the conference
adopted a plan of permanent
, organization by providing for the
j creal ion of a committee to be known
as the International Committee of
; lOotfon Growers' and Manufacturers'
/ associations. This body will consist
| of 15 members'?two from each of the
'? five organizations composing this conference
and two representing the
a spinners of continental Europe and
two from the Sea Island Cotton
Vj Growers' association, which was adU
milled to membership in the conferi,
ence this afternoon. In addition to
ii( the two organizations just named,
H the international committee will
(j, therefore, be composed of delegates
| 1
' >
|
from the Fanners' union, the Southern
Cotton association, the International
Collon Spinners' Association
ol' Europe, the Association ol' Cotton i
Mauufaclnrers and the American |
Manufacturers' association. The 111
members or delegates forming the
committee will select a chairman
from one of the associations represented.
The opinion was expressed h.v
several of the leaders tonight that I
James R. Macoll of Providence, R. 1^,1
chairman of the present conference |
and representing the American Asso- j
cialion of Cotton Manufacturers, will
be chosen chairman. Each organiza-|
lion will send the names of its nominees
to Secretary C. ?T. II. Wood burg I
of Boston, and when all have been j
named the chairman will be formally I
elected.
No provision was made for a general
meeting of the conference, but
Hcrr KutYler said that as the International
Cotton Spinners' Association
of Europe meets in Paris next
year, that delegates from all organizations
will be invited to attend and
thus another international conference;
may be achieved.
The report of the committees on
transportation was adopted. .It recommends
that greater care be exercised
in preserving cotton in transit
from tiie effect of the weather and i
that every effort be made to extend .
the warehouse system for cotton in'
America, the adoption of a label on J
cotton bales, identifying the grower j
and the warehouse where stored and :
showing gross, tare and net weight.!
Such a system is conducive to reduc-|
tion of country damage. A bill of j
lading so drawn as to establish the;
continuity of responsibility of tli'e j
several carriers from the interior!
point to the ultimate destination is J
recommended. Also a port bill of j
lading signed on behalf of the steamer
by an authorized agent after receipt
of the goods into the custody of j
such agent or ship.
The committee on reports and statistics
recommended the discontinue I
ance of government crop reports, but ;
the conference decided to refer this!
report to the different organizations'
for action. Several of the growers,
characterized the reports as guesses
and therefore worthless. Walter j
Clark of Mississippi said it may be a
fake report but it is an honest report
and is a foil for the reports of the
cotton brokerage firms who solicit i
future business.
With the business of the conference
completed, Hcrr Tvuffler offered the
thanks of the European delegates to
the various local and American committees
for their extreme hospitality
and the chairman of each delegation
present thanked the other delegations.
Just before the hour of final adjournment,
Chairman Macoll delivered
a speech in which he said the practical
work accomplished for the cotton
industry will be of great and permanent
value. The conference adjourned
finally at (5 o'clock tonight.
The European delegation will deu
a special train for
a tour of the cotton states going
through Texas and returning to New
York bv way of St. Louis, Chicago,'
Niagara Falls and Toronto.
After the adjournment of the con-|
ference the Farmers' union and the j
Southern Cotton association delegates j
held separate meetings in the capitol I
and adopted resolutions indorsing the
resolution of Congressman TTcflin of
Alabama, which was turned down by j
the conference, advocating national j
and state laws abolishing the gamb-'
liny features of cotton exchanges. j

jCANNOT PAY ALIENS' PASSAGE
i Important Decision by Attorney Gen- S
i . eral Bonaparte?He Holds that
Louisiana Violated Immigration
Act by Paying Passage
Money of a
Cuban. qi
, II
Washington, October 7.1- Attorney iv
General Bonaparte has rendered an Ik
opinion in an important case involv- tl
ing the ri.nlit ot a stale lo solicit im- e<
migration troin a foreign county. He o
holds that in the case submitted to n
him (lie state violates the immigra- 11
tion laws in paying- the passage inoif- si
ley of the immigrant; and, that, in ll
.this respect, tin* state does not dif- r<
' j I'er, in law, from an individual. m
i 1 he case in point has been peiul- w
inn before the department of com- <>
mercc and labor since August ."). On tl
. that date Gcronimo Garcia arrived tl
. at New Orleans from Cuba. By the
. special board of inquiry at the former cj
! place he was denied admission to th</ J
, bnited States. The investigation do n:
veloped the facts that his passage
. money had been paid by Reginald a
Dykers, an agent of the Louisiana ft
State board of agriculture and immi- h
gration, out of funds regularly ap- aj
propriated by the state legislature, tl
lie was given assurance that employ- t<
ment as a farm laborer would bo se- o
cured for him, and lie promised to re- d
! turn to the slate the money advanced d
. to him t?> pay his passage from Ila- b
vana to New Orleans. No employer w
. was selected for him, but he was left d
( 1 ree to work for whom he pleased.
, The case was brought by I lie state h
of Louisiana to test the immigration n
I law. Several oilier Southern Slates
} were interested in the matter, because 1
t'hey had been engaged in soliciting I
immigration to points within their w
^ borders. The case was referred to ri
I I he department of commerce and la- <
J bor, on appeal, and Secretary Straus y
submitted the facts to Attorney CJenI
eral Bonaparte J.'or an opinion. ^
'i The Attorney General has just ren- p
dered an o])inion, in which he says: <1
I'he assurances given to (larcia by c
the state agents constitute, in my n
| opinion, promises of employment (i
'| within the inhibition of the statute, ll
' , W'liile il is provided (hat aliens com- ll
i g lo (his country in consequence of e
advertisements by a state of induce- li
ments to immigration shall not be tl
J treated as coming under promise of o
employment, there is no exception in si
dividuals immigrants such as were 11
favor of a state in reference to spe- Is
eilic promises of employment to in- a
1 held out to Garcia by the represents!- y
lives of the stale board."
The Attorney General holds, there- S
' fore, thai, "on account of assurances
I of employment thai were given to ''
j, Garcia as an inducement to his immi- '
4 gration he should be excluded from
admission." 11
, ll is expected that t'he slate of "
t Louisiana will carry Ihe case into the '
_ courts in order to obtain a judicial 4
? determination of the (|iiest<ion which "
means much, in view of the authorities,
lo all of Ihe states of the south. "
