HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. ga meeting OF
about 400 growers OF Connecticut and Massa
chusetts held here to-day to organize New-Eng
land association for mutual benefit and protection f.
n Phelps OF Windsor, Conn, presided. Speeches were
made by several dealers and growers favorng higher
duty on Sumara tobacco, which Is seriously injuring
NewEngland growers of cigar wrappers. Much time
was spent the discussion Of resolutions which pro-
posed to raise duty Sumatra tobacco from 81 to
81 so pound, and also proposed greatly to MODIFY or
wholly abolish the internal revenue tax on tobacco and
also the license OF manufacturers and dealers There
a wide diversity of opinion upon the question OF
abOishing the tax. The growers were inclined, gen.
orally question the wisdom of asking such abolition
Of the tax. but strongly in favor Of a
heavier duty on foreign tobacco.
Mr.. Hamersteln strongly favored a tax OF 81 90
pound on sumatra tobacco. Colonel Z. N. Phelps and
Others urged because OF reciprocity treaties there
could be no discrimination in eyyng duties. All coun-
tries be treated alike Mr. Phelps favored tax OF
81 pound foreign tobaccos, with rebate on filters
the aim being to shut foreign wrappers Some feel
ing was shown by the growers who thought that
the manufacturers trying TO run the convention In
their own rather than In the interest Of the
growers the convention being really one OF growers
only resolution adOp ell favOring q tax OF 81
pound all foreign tobacco imported INTO THIS country
except tobacco raised III or shipped nom the island OF
Cuba.
After large number of persons had left the hall reso-
buttons adopted, rectng the fact that the trade was
burdened " ia taxation and asking their Senators and
Representatives Congress to take such action IN the
matter our complaints will either relieve our to-
baCcOrOwng industry the burden OF taxation en-
ely said taxation as I'm their judgment may
best appear"
A permanent organization OF The NewEngland To-
baccO Growers Association was formed, ts objects
being to disseminate knowledge useful TO the growers
to protect industry, 10 secure restrictive duties on
Sunatra tobacco, and to urge the abolition or mOdihc'
tion the tax. f. ~ Phelps, of Windsor was
chosen presidents s. c. Harden, OF Glastonbury, secre

names as members. Letters read In the conYen
tion from Congressman Buck OF Connecticut and
Robinson OF Massachusetts IN which they expressed
