Sets Up il Behalf of TIE Stamp
Which Has Been in Use.

Protests have been filed with Assist
ant Secretary OF the Treasury p r
Armstrong and later with the Presj-
dent by the American Tobacco Com
pany against a new form Of tobacco
stamps. which are heing printed at the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing here

Treasury p 3. Armstrong is now in
New York, where he is said 70 be msb-
ing a thoroug1 investigation OF the broil
of the tobacco dealers.
The complaint Of the independent cigar
makers with domestic factories is that
the Government gives the American To-
bacco Company an unfair advantage
over them by allowing them che use
OF a stamp which shows the cigars to
be imported
In this way the public is led to be-
heve that the Government. practically
guarantees the extra quality of the
cigars, whereas as a ma tier OF fact. so

since the Spanish war bought a ma
jOrity of the factories in Cuba and now

That an injustice was done 20 the in

that they could not overcome the effect
Of this label is said to have been the
view taken by Assistant Secretary Arm
