FULLER LUMBERTON NO. CA. April i8tli Advertbeln THEROBESONIASSS. to the concluding session or the American Manufacturers' As sociation's convention which opened yesterday. Besides the many interesting papers that were read by members of the association on subjects pertuin ing to the cotton industry, there was an address by Presi dent Finley of the Southern Railway Company, the election of ofticeis and reports from the committees. The report of the secretary and treasurer shovyed the organization to be in a pros perous condition. Among- oth ers who addressed the conven tion were Congressman Burle son, of Austin, Texas, James T. Puller of Charlotte, N. C.wlio spoke on "combed cotton;" E. P. llathawar, of Boston, Mass., who took for his subject closer relations between producers and manufacturers; William Whitman, of Lawrence, Mass., and W. H. H. Carrier, of Buf falo, N.. Y. This afternoon will be given over to sigiitseeing ana to night the annual banuuet will he held at the Bellevue-Strat- ford Hotel. Among- the guests will be Vice-President Fair banks. Arthur H. Lowe, of Massa chusetts, presided at the clos ingf session ana introduced President Pin ley of the South ern Railroad. Mr. Finley was warmly greeted. President Finley called at tention to the assistance ren dered by the railroads in the development of Southern indus tries, and pointed out that the demands for railway service in the Southern States have almost reached the maximum capacity of the roads and that if South ern progress is to continue, there must be an early increase in the facilities of Southern t ra 1 1 s pr i r t a t i o n a ge n ci es. He said thai, if the roads were to provide these facilities thev would require large amounts o' uew capital, for the obtain ing of which the maintenance of earning power was a funda mental requisite. Unfortu nately, the legislation enacted in some of the states and pro posed in others, he said, was tending to make it difficult for the roads to sell their bonds to pr6vide funds for new con struction. Mr. Finley said the railways were asking no special favors. They only aske I that they be given the same degree of pro tection under the law that is given to business enterprises of other kinds. He said that laws subjecting common carriers to proper regulations such as might be necejsarv to prevent discrimination or unreasonable charges, were propc-r'aud could not be objocted to on any ground but that when legis lation went beyond this pro-1 poedlieldoi rcgiilatianand pro posed to reduce charges .irlii- t;iriiy, aii't to impose penal ties for failure to perform im possible services it became de structive and the inevitable re ,u!t was to cripple the ability uf the carriers to provide the additional facilities , so badly mation of the two bodies hoped the two organizations would work harmoniously for the good of the industry. One of the popular addre'ses of tlu session was made by President Whitman of the National Wool Manufacturers Association who spoke on "American Bus iness Honor." He deprecated the cry set up by the"army of agitators" who under the guise of reformers could see nothing but evil in the land. He said the standard of business honor in this country today is higher than ever before. After the program had been disposed of the convention went into executive session for the purpose of electing officers and action on resolutions. The committee having m charge the matter of the con troversy with the New York cotton exchange over the grad ing of cotton reported that it had a conterence yesterday witu a committee from the New York exchange. The committee said there was a harmonious ex change of views in regard to the establish! ng of cotton wa re houses in the south and the ad visability of making changes in contracts and the classification of cotton. No conclusion was reached, however, and because of the absence of the represent atives of the New Orleans cot ton exchange who were to have been present the committee recommended that another committee be appointed to take up the matter during the year. The report was adopted and the present committee. One of the resolutions adopted was as follows: "That this as sociation place on record its disapproval of the action of the interstate commerce commiss ion in the case of the rate on trans-continental shipments of southern mill products to the Orient." The cotton referred to was on a rate case on southern goods to the Orient in which suit was brought by exporters against southern railroads to collect the differences between 88 cents, the rate t-rom New En gland and 1.25, the rate from the south. The commission decided in favor of the rail roads. Resolutions were adopted fa voring theestablishment of nat- & . i lonal lorest reserves in tne southern Appalachian and White mountains. The election of cflicers re sulted as follows: President S. B. Taimer, Henrietta, N. C. Vice-President T. H. Ueii me, Graniteville, S. C Secretary and Treasure! C. B. Bryant, Charlotte. N. C. Chairman of the. board of governors. T. A. Bhthe, Philadelphia. Will Cray and John Cummirvjrs, of Greensboro, were cauvrhr be neath a pile of falling wood at Bain's lumber yard, Thursday and seriusly hurt. The hijh stack of wood fell over on the men as one of them drew a stick from the botton. Four Thousand Present at the Convention. Richmond. Va., May 1(5.
