Washington, Nov. 21! Among the bills pending before the house com mittee on agriculture none is of more "interest to the farmer of the south than the Burleson bill, to 'prohibit interference with commerce among the states and territories and with . foreign nations, and to remove ob- 8truction thereto." ', The purpose of the bill is to put a stop to the practice of dealing in cot- 'ton futures which Mr. Burleson 'claims works great injustice and hardship on the cotton planters and materially affects the price of cotton goods to the consumer. The bill was carefully drawn and is said to have the endorsement of the cotton grow ers of the south, and also the ap proval of the agricultural department. The advocates of the Burleson bill say that its enactment would put a . crimp into the business of the cotton : exchanges, in that the telephone and telegraph companies would not be . willing to take the risk of sending ' - any message relating to a contract for future delivery of cotton unless it could be shown that the cotton so ' contracted for is actually to be deliv ered, for the party in whose behalf the contract is made acquires the J right to demand the future delivery or acceptance of the cotton. For a violation of this provision of the bill , the person convicted is to be fined not i; more than $1,000 nor less than $500 and shall be imprisoned not more than six nor less than one month. Each message sent, or caused to be sent, is to constitute a separate of fense. The Burleson bill would stop the publication of any news dealing with '"futures" in cotton; that is, futures 1 that were fictitious and not bona tide contracts, by prohibiting the use of s the mails to such newspapers.
