Cotton Fund Details Explain Plan for Large Loan Pool
Washington plans to run a 1.365 billion cotton loan fund with a central committee in charge and state chairmen meeting in Washington.

The plan includes Class A and Class B certificates for banks and a 3 percent contribution to a guarantee fund. Farmers' objections cite minimum loan sizes as excluding small growers.

Cotton Belt Employees Split Over Strike Vote
Conductors and brake men on the Cotton Belt Railroad adopt a strike vote while firemen and enginemen vote against a strike. The move follows the dismissal of a conductor for alleged intoxication. Officials reported the results to F H Britton, president of the railroad. Washington plans for war preparedness face congressional scrutiny as bills surface and committees prepare inquiries.
