Cotton union and inland long staple debate sparks farming dissent
A Union Bureau dispatch argues for a minimum price policy amid a grim Texas season where many cotton growers expect one quarter to one third yields per acre. It cites union and Cotton Association aims, notes mortgage pressures, criticizes rival editorials, and promotes inland long staple as key to higher value. The piece highlights South Carolina growers switching to union support, mentions Sea Island and inland long staple pricing, and urges disciplined dues and meeting attendance to sustain collective bargaining.
