WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The internal
Revenue Bureau rules that former de-
cisions relating to screw tobacco presses
are to remain in full force and effect. The
Office does not require that the retainers

only as part of each press, shall he bond
ed, but it does require that each separate
screw press, whether used to shape the
plug or to press them into boxes, shall be
bonded. 1t is not the purpose or The Wlsh
Of the revenue Office to increase the amount
of manufacturers bond beyond what is
reasonable, and beyond what the law clearly
authorizes and requires, but in all cases to
make it sufficiently large to render the
Government reasonable security.
