THE
Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter,
Edgerton, Wisconsin.
NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

Packers are again resorting to variety
of experiments in packing their tobacco
this season to avoid the danger from
black rot, some of them following the
line of other years that proved fairly
successful, and others adopting an en-
tirely new method. The plan of bulking
the leaf as it comes from the sorting ia
bles for a week or such matter before
packing is adopted by several firms.
This method permits the moisture to be-
come evenly distributed through the
bulk without allowing the tobacco to get
warmed enough to start fermentation,
but an even temperature is kept while
the leaf is in bulk. Others are packing
light now with the intention of repacking
in April or May before the tobacco goes
into the regular summer fermentation.
A few packers, we learn, are packing
regular, that is, putting the usual amount
of tobacco into the case now with view
of repacking and shaking out before the
leaf gets started sweating. All these
various methods entails additional cost
for labor to the packings but If it results
in reducing or preventing the much
dreaded black rot damage, all agree the
money is we'll invested.

LIKENFD TO A TRUST.
II. II. Go,hbcrs on the Association of
Master Steam Filters.

In the testimony before the Industrial
Commission yesterday morning II. B. Com
bers, Secretary of the National Association
of Master Steam Filters, said that the as
sociation of the steam filters in New York
was a highly developed trust. Although
there are 1900 eligible to membership the
membership was limited to 500. so the
members could obtain higher wages. He
also stated that in most cases the master
steam filters had agreements with the
manufacturers Of plumbing materials
which gave them practically monopoly
in the business.
His association was formed for the pro-
lection OF employees. Witness thought that
arbitration was a good thing in small mat
ters. but believed the union and the as
sociation would continue to arrange their
own affairs without the assistance of out
siders. He also believed that Government
work, as well as private work, would be
better handled If the Government or own
er dealt directly with the sub-contractors
and not through a general contractor
