COTTON FARMERS CALLED
TO MEET IiN COLUMBIA
To Protest Against The "Exhorbitant
Prices" Proposed, By The Ginners
Columbia, Aug. 8.- The cotton
farmers of South Carolina are called
to meet in Columbia Wednesday
at 11 o'clock to protest against the
"exhorbitant prices" proposed in the
tentative code of the cotton ginners
of the South.
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.

War Declared on "Drones" and
"Chiselers" by Tsar of Industry.
Washington, Aug. 6. ? Gen. Hugli
S. Johnson, national recovery admin
istrator, declared war tonight on
"drones" and chiselers" who refused
to co-operate with President Roose
velt or sought to nullify agreements
that they had signed.
Simultaneously he inaugurated a
nation-wide "buy now" and "spend
for re-employment" campaign to sup
?H,'t higher wages and shorter hours
anrl appealed for a boycott of those
industries and businesses that did not
fly the blue eaglo of N. R. A.
"Do not triflo with that bird," he
warned.
At the sumo time, ho carried for

President, Roosevelt had proclaimed
by expressing confidence that the
national arbitration machinery cre

all existing strikes and avert others.

Chevrolet has sold in excess of 370,000 passenger cars and trucks.
? People have come to expect Chevrolet to
lead the world in automobile sales. But this
year Chevrolet has done even more than that.
According to the latest available figures, Chev
rolet alone has sold almost as many cars this year
as all the rest of the low-price field combined!
When a car looms above its field like that, there
can't be any argument about it. It must be
an all-round better buy. And that's exactly
what Chevrolet offers you. Fisher bodies, with

he would ask congress to change laws

to states, municipalities, counties and

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. R. A.
3. Johnson made public the code for
the coat and suit industry ? "a par
ticularly noteworthey event," be call
ed it ? which wiped out the "sweat
shop," eliminates the cut-throat com
petition that bad dragged the indus
try down, abolished "home-work,"
eradicated unsanitary and unsafe
working conditions, set high wages
and short hours, and provided for re
sumption of the industry's unem
ployment insurance plan as soon as
conditions permitted.
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.
Such men are not wise counselors,
and their advice should be rejected.
"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.
"I have pledged the honor of the
United Mine Workers of America to
the president of the United States to

questions, and I ask your sutpport to
redeem this pledge."
