MEETIyG or CIGAR MAKERs.-Last night
n meeting Of cigar makers OF tho District
was held at Victoria hotel, Pennsylvania
avenue, the object being 10 discuss matters
pertaining TO the trade aud the laws affect
Ing the manufacture aud sale OF cigars in the
District OF Columbia, as eXpounded by the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, and as
certain II the laws cannot be so modified as
TO bear more faVOrably upon the mahufac-
ture. ..a...
The late decision OF the commissioner 10
to the effect that the manufacturer must
make q certain number OF cigars from each
pound OF tobacco for which he pays taxes;
but as some brands Of cigars are larger than
others, the manufacture says there can be
no specific number made 10 the pound Of loaf
Tobacco and, therefore, the manufacturers
met to protect against the law as laid down
by the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue.
At tho meeting last night, however, no de-
1nlte plan Of action had been agreed upon.
