J. Roy Jones, commissioner of ag riculture, issued the callgrfiere today and said he expected to see every sec tion of the state represented at the meeting. "Numerous protests have been made against the excessive and ex horbitant prices which the ginners propose to charge the farmers this fall for ginning their cotton, but I feel th'^ time has come for the cotton growers of South Carolina to take definite action to protect themselves," declared Mr. Jones in his call. The commissioner of agriculture has made a strong fight against the proposed ginners code and is perfect ing plans for having the agricultural commissioners of the cotton growing states meet in Washington to protest to Gen. Hugh Johnson when the code comes up for hearing. Farmers To Protest "I wish to urge every cotton farm er in South Carolina to attend a meeting, to be held in the Auditorium of the Columbia Hotel at 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning, August 9, j and take necessary action to protect j their interests," said Commissioner Jones. At a meeting of ginners held in Memphis early in July It was pnopos- | ed to charge upward of $7.50 per bale for ginning, according to Mr. Jones, who points out that in former years the charges, including bagging and ties, was not more than $4.50 per bale and in most instances less. The head of the agricultural department holds that the prices set up by the ginners is entirely too high and unreasonable and would be a tremendous blow to the farmers of the state. The cotton ginners of South Caro lina met in Columbia recently but did not fix a price. However, Mr. Jones says, the ginners of the state were represented at the Memphis meeting which fixed the proposed code carry ing the $7.50 per bale rato and now they proposed to abide by whatever action is taken at Washington. "It means hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cotton growers of the state to keep the price of ginning within reason," declares Mr. Jones. He says he wants to see the ginners treated iairly and get a g'jod return for their work, tut the prices th?y propose are "unfair and exhorbitant" and for that reason he urges the farmers of th? state to me* in Co lumbia Wednesday.

Simultaneously, ho appealed to states, municipalities, counties and other local government units to fol low suit. 2. The deputy administrator, A. D. Whiteside, in a stinging message to the Indiana Retail Grocers' associa tion, served notice that the federal government would not tolerate "Chis eling" by agreements among grocery stores to reduce their hours of opera tion and thus violate the blanket agreement by not taking on additio nal workers. fie threatened with drawal of insignia of the N.

Johnson tempered his stern lecture to industry in an address today by predicting : "Wo will be out of the depths of this depression by winter if only each community will seizo the chance that the president has given it." Marching Orders. He added: "Wo shall either succeed or fal] in three months time." With the sharp staccato of rifle- | fire, he read his marching orders: "This is no time to hoard. It is no time to save money. It is a time to get things. Uuy the things you need. Spend for re-emtployment. If you don't spend now and got something, you will spend later for taxes ami doles and got nothing. "You should spend under the blue eagle. If you spend elsewhere, you are hurting the chance to end unem ployment because you aro helping to destroy the business of men who aro paying more tor help. You ar? aiding those who refused to do so." The tireless administrator, who works Sunday as any other day, was bubbling over today with the strike truce that President Roosevelt had called at his suggestion. He considers it the greatest single development thus far. "We will clean up all existing strikes under it, I believe," he tild the United Press. "The arbitration board will got busy at once." President Roosevelt announced to (lay his policy of readjusting govern ment contracts with the statement that "it has been brought to my at tention that in many instances ahrd ships may be imposed upon employ ers who sign the president's agree J ment, or come under codes of fait competition which are approved, who | have previously made contracts with J the government to supply goods or services at fixed prices, which may be inadequate in view of increaF"d costs caused by shortening hours or increasing wages in compliance with agreements or codes." Grocers Rebuked He pointed out that private buyers had been asked to readjust contracts in the face of heavier costs. "The United States government as a buyer of goods should be willing itself to take action similar to that recommended to private buyers," he added. Whiteside, in his sharp teelgram to | the Indiana Retail Grocers' associa tion, said the recovery administra tion would redraft provisions of the grocers' temporary code and possible J withdraw the blue eagle if there was any "community or concerted action" to shorten the operating hours of stores below f>3 hou's a week. Km ployes are limited to 4H bourn a J week. Retail grocers, he said, had advised the administrator that their average number of hours operation was 73 a week. "They said they did not want their hours shortened because of possible loss of business. On this representa tion grocers were Riven especial con side: at ion and allowed 48 hours' work for the employes. "If the store hours are reduced by agreement to any number below f>3 hours, the re-employment .which is anticipated through the allowance of the 48-hour man-work hours each week, will not be obtained and the understanding upon which the food and grocery distributors and the re tail codes were based will not have been carried out. The proposal is in violation of section 8 of the presi dent's agreement." Whiteside said that in several 'ocal communities, retailers were making joint agreements to shorten hours. I.ewis was characteristically blunt and forceful in his telegram today or dering recalcintrant miners back to work, referring to local units who have voted against returning, he said : "There will be those among you who will advocate defiance to the policy of your organization and de fiance to the wish of the president.

"Return to your normal occupation, (live time for the application of rea son and logic to your own problems and the problems of the coal industry and extend your co-operation to your government, to y?">r oresident and to your union.
