TO PROBE TOBACCO TRUSTS.
Department of Justice Has Undertaken
the Investigation.

In response to urgent representa-
tions from the Kentucky and Ten
nessee Tobacco Planters Associa
tion,. the Department of Justice yes
terday decided to institute an inves
tigation for the purEoss of ascertain
ing whether the American Tobacco
Company, usually referred to as the
tobacco trust, is violating the anti
trust laws. AS the initial step the
Attorney General designated A. E
Garner, of Springfield, Tenn, as spe-
cial attorney to conduct the prelimi-
nary inquiry and report the results,
Mr.. Garner, who is familiar with
the condition of the tobacco indus
try, will be allowed $500 to pay the
expenses of the investigation.
The Kentucky and Tennessee to-
bacco planters have been inveighing
against the trusts for several days,
and the action of the Department
of Justice yesterday is the outcome
of long continued and persistent ag-
itation on their part. A short time
ago they discussed their grievances
at a convention held at Kuthrie, KY,
and it was determined to carry their
cause to Washington. Felix Ewing,
of Robinson county, Tenn, presi-
dent of the association was delegated
to submit their complaints to the
Department of Justice. and he did
so yesterday. He went over the sit
uation fully with the Attorney Gen
eral, who manifested deep interest.
and afterwards announced that the
investigation of the American To-
bacco Company's methods would be
at once.
The Planters Association claims
that the American Tobacco Company
Is maintaining a monopoly in the
full meaning of the Sherman anti
trust law, and that the statute is be-
ing violated constantly. The tobac-
co farmers complain, furthermore,
that they are victims of policy of
repression which prohibits them from
acting with any freedom in dispos-
ing of their crops. They assert
that they are forced to sell to the
trust at prices which the latter arbi-
trarily fixes and are denied markets

which are big tobacco centers and
also visit the hurley and dark tobac-
co districts of Kentucky and Ten
Post.

INCREASING DEMAND.

"The foreign markets continue to
broaden and develop, the demand
constantly increases" said he, 'Fand

supply the demand. The South

organization. Let the Southern
farmers get together and stand to-
gether. They have the spot cotton
in their own hands to do as they
please with. Ny idea is this:
"The planters should form an or
ganization among themselves and
each farmer interested put in 50
cents for every bale of cotton he has
on hand. If there is as much cotton
in sight as reports make that would
give the organization s3,OOO,O0O.
Then EMPLOY some expert on the
New York or New Orleans exchange
to buy that amount of March, May
and July cotton, and let the farm
ers hold their spot cotton. They
cannot be compelled to sell it. I
know many will say that it is i'm
possible to get the farmers to stick
together, but I think that is a mis-
take. If you will interest them they
will stick. If they lose the SO cents
bale that would not be much of
loss. and besides they would have
had the satisfaction of having helped
some that were forced to sell out.
and more than that, a great deal of
cotton would be forced on the mar
ket and thus gotten out of the way
and this feature of the situation
alone would result in greater ben
eft to the planter than is represent
ed in the small amount put into the
organization.
NO REASON FOR Low PRICES.
"Just think of ii" exclaimed Mr..
Rhyme. eff we have a crop of 12.-
100000 bales, that ought not to
bring the rrice of cotton down to
its present level. We received be-
fore September 25O,OOO or 100000
bales of this crop. and there will be
at least 100000 bales carried over to |
the next crop, making about 100000
bales, and leaving only 11,4O0,OOO
bales of the 100000. The mills |
will consume about that much cot
ton if they can get it provided, con-
ditions remain anything like they |
are now, and you can see at a glance |
what golden opportunity the farm
er has,"
