RETAIL TOBACCO
DEALERS A UNIT


NEW YORK. Jan. 10.--The Chicago
branch of the Retail Tobacco Dealers
association, which was chiefly instru-
mental in organizing the national body
of that name. has signified its willing
ness to agree to any changes in the
constitution of the larger association
which the New York local association
considers desirable. This signifies
that the movement will be united
throughout the country. instead of sep
arating into Eastern and Western
branches. as was at first threatened.
The provisions of the national constI-
tuition as they stand az present give
the government of the organization al
most entirely into the hands of the
Chicago local association. The New
York association elected delegates to
the national convention to be held In
Chicago next week. but instructed
them not to pledge the local associa-
ton to join the national unless 1t
were given reasonable representation
on the board of directors. The dele
CATION having received assurances
that there will be no further difficulty
the delegates win leave for Chicago
tomorrow. Advices received show
that the retail tobacco trade of phila
delphia. Buffalo, Indianapolis. Detroit
and other cities invaded by the trust
will also be well represented at the
Chicago meeting.
