And could we stand the storm OF fire.

ARE WELL REPRESENTED
THEY ARE HOPEFUL OF CARRY
ING THEIR POINT.
Be TWO WEEKS BEFORE BILL IS PASSED
About Eightyfise Per Cent Of the Tobacco
interests are Represented Delegation
will Remain in Washington Until
the Bill is Passed.

Washington, ID. c., May 13.-About
50 per cent of the tobacco interest of
the country were represented at a meet
ing of manufacturers and those holding
proxies held at the Ebbitt house to-day.
Nearly every State interested was repre-
scented. The object of the gathering was
to make vigorous protest against the
proposed increase of the tax on manufac-
tured tobacco to 16 cents, as well as to
fight the retroactive clause if it should
show up again.
Mr.. r. &. Williams, Jr., represented
the Richmond manufacturers, Congress
man Claude A. Swanson received tele-
grams requesting him to speak for the
Danville, Va, and Reidsville, n. c.. il
terests, Mr.. Snead appeared for Lynch
burg, Mr.. Blackwell for Durham, n. c.,
and Messrs. Vaughan, p Ii. Haynes
and X. j. Reynolds for Winston, N. G.
Resolutions were adopted opposing the
tax on stocks on hand and the proposed
increase of the tax from ! to 10 cents.
Messrs. Daniel Martin and Swanson
have been especially active in their
efforts ON behalf Of the tobacco men, ana
Mr. Swanson said tonight that they
felt very hopeful of the outcome. The
vote of the Finance Committee on the
tobacco tax stood to 6. Senator Jones
(Silver Republican of NEVADA, casting
the deciding vote. The sixteen cent men
offered to compromise on IA cents, bun
the proposition was rejected. The man
ufacturers' representatives will probably
remain here until the matter is decided
and will in the mean time exert every
effort to convince the Senators of tn,
Justice of their cause.
1t will probably be about two weeks
before the revenue bin is passed by the
Senate and there is hardly doubt that
it viii then have to go TO Conference
committee.
Although the mineral water tax was
stricken out in the bill reported al
danger on the point has not passed.

which greatly enhances the effect.
