I'. It row lie, publisher of The Anderson Dully Mall, was in Washing Inn this week and had a conference with Hull, W. .? li arris, a member of tho commission, in regard to the mat ter, and the whole situation was <lli#^ (?nsscd pretty thoroughly. Mr, Ilitrrfs declared Hint lie was deeply Interest ed In the matter and would give the Investigation Ids personal suihmvIsIoii. He may go to Anderson himself with In the next week or so and upend some time there and in that section. Mr. Harris, who was formerly director of the census, Is a (jeorglan. and has an intimate knowledge of the cotton husi lies. It is claimed hy.Aome that the large cotton operators of the South, who supply Hie mills with cotton, have 'mi agreement by which they will not buy Cotton In territory conttnguoUH to the - mills, and ttiat at points wlicre this agreement Is In effect the mills have ?control of the market ami that as a result there Is a depression of prices. It Is claimed that cotton sells at high er prices at points where this agree ment Is not hi effect. Itepresentutlves of the trades commission will look into this, as well as Into tho practice of some of the mills of buying cotton at an average-price instead of buying each - i bale according to grade. i Mr. I i row lie says there has been much complaint as to the Anderson cotton [ market for several years, a ml that he , Is anxious to find oill just what ground ; there Is for these complaints, and be lieves this caii be best accomplished through an Investigation by the trades commission under the authority given It by congress. "We are not esi>eclally anxious for the trial and conviction of anybody" he said, "but We want to know Just what Is the matter. Every body at Anderson knows that cotton has been selling there for less than at many nearby points, and this shows that there is something wrong. Jf we ?can get the evil removed and tho cot ton market free from the depression, we will be satisfied, but we do want that done and we want it done quick ly. We liellove the trades commission has the jiower and authority to And the cause of the trouble, and to put a stop to It, and we have appealed to _ theiu for help. \That Is all there Is to It." ' Commissioner Harris asked many questions un to the situation, and showed a deep interest In the matter. *'If there has been a division of terri tory for Iniyiug cotton," he said, "it 1h nndonhtedly a violation of the law. It Is the duty of the trades commki wjon to assist ? in the enforcement of the law, and that is our interest In the matter. We will l?e glad to have the help and co-operation of the peo ple in the communities affected, so that we may get at all the facta." The commission has had similar com plaints from other gectious oF~~the Soul h, it is understood, and the in vestigation may take a wide range he fore It is concluded, but the first work will l>o done at Anderson and vicinity, and, as stated, the work will be started within the next few days. ?
