BAPTISTS MEET
ONE DAY LATER
Dr. McGlothlin's Suggestion Meets
With Favor. No Stinday Traveilng.
'Washington, .May 15.-Dato of the
1921 meeting was changed from Wed
nesday, May 11, to Thursday, May 12,
-;by the Southern Baptist convention
late today upon the suggestion of Dr.
W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman
0
university, Greenville, S. C., in order
tIat messengers coming from a dis
tance to attend the convention will
not be compelled to travel on Sunday.
Otherwise the report of the committee
on arrangements which chose Chatta
nooga, Tenn., as the meeting place, was
unchanged.
Disapproval by the convention of the
s-tatement made by Vice President Mar
shall to the Virginia Bar Association,
that had the prohibition amendment
been considered by the senate behind
closed (loors it would not have receiv
ed 20 votes, was voiced by the adop
tion of a resolution presented by )r.
11. W. Battle, of Charlottesville, Va.
"We keenly deplore the vice -presi
dent's poor opinion, if correctly Iiot
ed, of the august body over which he
presides," the resolution recites add
ing that if the vice president was cor
rect in his assertion "we would regard
that fact the darkest sign of national
decadence and coming disaster."
"The Southern Baptist convention
canl not concur in the imputation
placed by Ir. Marshall, if correctly
reported, upon the senators of the
United States in their recent enact
ment of prohibition legislation," the
resolution said.

the addeess of welcome to the conven
tion when it opened hero on Wednes
Elay and adoption of the resolution was
oPposed by prominent messengers on
the ground of discourtesy. At the sug
gestion of Dr. A. J. Barton of Alevan
dria, La., action on the resolution was
deferred until the convention had list
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
ened to an address by Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon league, when It was passed
with but a scattering of negative votes.
Both Mr. Whepler and Federal Pro
hibition Commissioner Kramer, who
followed him were received with ac
claim, the convention rising to its feet
to applaud them when they advanced
to the speaker's pla'tform.
Mr. Wheeler declared that he would
stand by the senate against the vice
president who, he qdded, did not add
anything to the confidence of the peo
pie of the country by his statement.
lie scored those he termed as wine and
beer candidates, characterizing the!r
position as one of "deflanco of the
law."
The government needs more men to
enforce prohibition, Mr. Kramer de
clared, and asked the lielp of Southern
Baptists in unholding the 18th aiend
ment to the constitution.
Prohibition of the drug and li(iuor
trafllc in India was endorsed by the
convention in a resolution calling ul)
on the governor of India to "prohibit
the import, manufacture and sale n
India of alcoholic liquors and druigs,
i)articularly prohibition of the culti
vation of pI)opy and the manufacture
and sale of opium for other than ied
leal purposes."
Charging that the British govern
ment sup)orts the opium trade in
India by lending money free of in
terest -to the )opi)y growers, Tarak
nath Das, of India, a Christian Hindu,
pleaded with the messengers .to help
remove the drug curse from his coun
try.
Swift & Company
Does Not Control Its
Raw Material
Other industries can buy their raw
materials according to need or judgment,
and set a selling price. They need
manufacture only what they can sell at
their price.
Cotton, wool, wheat, lumber, iron,
steel, and other non-perishables, can be
held either by their producers or their
users until needed.
But live stock comes to market every
day in fluctuating quantities from scat
tered sources, wholly uncontrolled and
at times without regard to market needs.
An immediate outlet must be found
for the perishable products, at whatever
price, as only a very small proportion
can be stored.
No one can foresee or stipulate What
they shall bring; prices must fluctuate
from day to day to insure keeping the
market clear.
Only the most exacting care of every
detail of distribution enables
Swift. & Company to make the small
profit from all sources of a fraction of a
cent per pound, necessary for it to con
tinue to obtain capital and maintain
operations.

HERBERIf HOOVER
TALKS OF SUGAR
Former Food Administrator Gives
Viows on Entire Situation.
Washington, May 14.-Herbert
Hoover, former food administrator
and candidate for the Republican nom
ination for president, gave his views
to congress today on the sugar sit
uation.
Appearing before a house commit
toe investigating the sugar situation
Mir.. Hoover declared that the world
shortage of the product was likely to
continue two or three years. The
pressing need was rationing, lie said,
-with immediate government action to
control -the supply through corn ucre
lal, not legalistic methods.
Although the hearing related pr'i
marily to the action of Attorney Gen
cral Palmer in approving a maximum
price for the Louilslana crop, it reached
out. into ia broader field after M r.
I loover said lie could give only an "off
hand" opinion as to that proceeding.
Mr. illoover, said, however, that the
governmenit shouild have bought the
'Louilslana cro!) last year, pocketing
the loss or else selling to the luxury
trade at an advance.
'arlier in the (lay Mr. 4Hoover, who
was a member of President Wilson's
second industrial conference, told the
senate labor committee lie did not be
lieve that the relationship between
employers and eiployces could be set
tied by any form of legal repression
whether It be by injunction, compul
sory arbitration or Industrial courts.
'While a large audience heard Mr.
Hoover's views before both commit
tees, the greatest Interest was dis
played by crowds that sought enlight
enment on the shortage and high prlice
of sugar, with its resultant tax on the
family pocketbook. Answering a mul
titude of iluestions hearing onl the
Louisiana crop and price situation Mr.
Hoover explained that lie had no
knowledge of his own on the subject
but that it influenced Cuban produc
er's to stimulate prices, and that except
for it, the rise in prices would have
been less rapid.
Mi. Hoover frankly disagreed with
the policy adopted by the attorney
general saying that if he had been in
the latter's place he "certainly would
not have attempted sdlich an opera
tion." Prices never could be fixed by
threats of jail, he said, adding that
the proper course was through com
mercial process.
In making reply to members who
wanted to know what should have
been done to keep the present high
prices oc the people, Mir. .Hoover re
iterated that the government should
have bought the Cuban crop as well as
the Louislana crop and that even now
there was a chance to help by limit
ing the sup)l)lv to non-essential indus
tries. In this connection lie told the
coniittoe that prohibition had stilmu
lated the use of sigar in maniiactir
ing of sweet. drinks, and th1us had
added to the drailn on stocks needed
