TO CONTROL TOBACCO TRADE
Battle for Domination of Worlds

Giant Companies.
,RK, April 3O.-The World to-

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The World to-
morrow will say:
An important move in the battle for con-
troll Of the tobacco market Of the world will
be made tomorrow, when the giant CONT
METAL Tobacco company and the American
Cigar company will, through a new ar
rangement, become practically one. This
is a long stride in the carrying out Of
President Dukes imperial plan for the
greater tobacco trust. Control Of the to-
bacco trust Of Cuba is aimed at and Presi-
dent Duke has been quoted as saying that
the trust could afford to lose IS, 600, 900 to
get control of the market Of the British
empire.
That measures to realize the latter are
now under way is indicated by the presence
In the city OF Ogdens, Britain's greatest
manufacturer of cigarettes, in whose bust
ness the American Tobacco company has
already bought a big interest. The new
American combination, the Continental To-
bacco company and the American Cigar
company, as announced yesterday by the
officers. is one by which the Continental
buys the entire manufactured output Of the
American Cigar company and disposes OF It
through its own statesmen. Of1cials of the
two companies who made the announce
ment took occasion to announce pointedly
that the two concerns would continue TO
maintain separate organizations.
James B. Duke is president Of the Con-
solidated Tobacco company, which controls
the American Tobacco company and the
Continental Tobacco company, and he is
president Of both the American and the
Continental companies. While the trus,
