Washington, Sept. 14.?Senators and representatives from the South ' * ?n.nnr.a4.a ern couon growing otatcs at scva?o^ conferences today named a joint committee to protest to President Wilson against the fixing of prices" for raw cotton. An effort will be made to arrange for a conference at the White House Monday. A meeting of the members of congress resulted from the formal announcement yesterday by the presi-| dent that basic prices for the various) grades of cotton will be fixed if this should be found necessary after the < committee to be,named by the war industries board has completed its investigation into the general cotton situation. In the meantime, the president said, a committee of three is to be set up to purchase cotton for the government and the allies at prices to be approved by Mr. Wilson, i Cotton broke sharply on the exchanges today as a result of the, president's announcement, but later there was a considerable recovery. On the New Orleans market the price fell about $11.50 bale, or about $1.50 for than the rise early this month after the department of agriculture's forecast had shown a decrease of about 4,000,000 bales in the yield for this season. Decision of the gov^., ernment to name the committee of inquiry was announced soon after the forecast was made public. Senators participating in the conference today said there is no authority for the president or any government agent to fix prices and that this authority could come only from congress. They added that congress had no intention of enacting such legislation.
