So far little adjusting has been. The state tobacco tax, a source parity prices in the market place. is better than ever these 'DELAYING ACTION' Mr. Randolph, taking notice of the few adjustments that bave been made, the OPA is making a show of compliance but at the same time is adroitly delaying effective action. He points out that the process of adjustment complicated.
OPA, he says, is taking advantage of this to initiate intermediate studies and investigations in lieu of action and that, as a result, the price of cotton remains below parity. He has wired Senator John H. Bankhead, suggesting that unless action is obtained from OPA he introduce a bill providing for 100 per cent loans on cotton. Loans are now made at 92.5 per cent of parity. Mr.
Randolph does not so but he is fully aware say, that the textile industry has not been outstandingly cooperative in getting ceilings adjusted 50 that farmers may receive parity for cotton. His telegram to Senator Bankhead does not mention the cotton mills at all but the 100 per cent loans he suggests will hardTy be lost on the industry, It it is placed in a position of having to pay parity for cotton it will have a much more compelling incentive to submit to OPA the cost data and other information OPA insists it has not received. SENDS TELEGRAM Mr. Randolph's telegram to Senator Bankhead reads: of Price Administration is continuing to evade law calling for adjustments in textile ceilings to bring about parity prices for cotton as required by Bankhead amendment. Request that action be.
taken to get OPA officials to comply with law or, if that is impossible, that you introduce bill calling for 100 per cent loan on As a matter of fact such telegrams are just what Senator Bankhead wants to hold his hands up in his fight to have his pet legislation enforced. Mr. Randolph, it appears, is the first to send such a telegram but others will be on the wires this week from all over the cotton belt. It is not impossible that the next few weeks will see cotton go up some five dollars a bale. The word got abroad in Alabama this week that the Political Actions Committee the CIO would come into Alabama to secure repeal Bradford next year in a effort determined, labor act.
There was nobody to quote and nothing, credible substantiate to many the in rumor Alabama who do not want the Bradford act tampered with. The rumor is also supported by its reasonableness. The Bradford law, which is more rigid than the Smith-Connolly act, was enacted a year ago when feeling was high in John L. Lewis's then current fight to get more money for his miners who were out on strike. Without considering the merits of the act, it was apparent, and its sponsors admitted it, that the time for passing the bill was quite opportune.
It is possible, of course, that the bill could have become law without the then existing public sentiment. If labor troubles are rife next summer when the legislature is in session the PAC will have tough going in its attempt to bring about its repeal, but it things have quieted down it may get an attentive Let us assist you in getting a new International Truck K5 or K7.
