Tobacco Association Officials
Make Reply to Gov.
Wilson.

Clarksvillc, Tenn, Dec. 20.-After
a conference with members of the
Executive Committee of the Dark
Tobacco Growers Association at
Guthrie President Charles H. Fort
and General Manager F. G. Ewing
wired Gov. Wilson, declining the in
vitation to meet with the represent
tatives of the different tobacco in
terests in Frankfort, KY, tomorrow
for the purpose Of taking steps to
settle the differences between buyer
and seller of tobacco, with view of
preventing further lawlessness in
the State. The officers Of the Asso-
citation felt that it would be best not
to join in a conference which would
be Immediately made public, but
they were ready to join in a secret
conference with the Governor and
others whom he may choose to meet
with him at any time he may select.

CONFERENCE
FOR PEACE
Is Now In Session at Frank
fort at Call of Governor
Wilson.
PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT
Officials of the Dark Tobacco
Association May Not
Attended.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 20.-Repre-
sentatives of the tobacco trust, the
growers and the middle men are
gathered in Frankfort for confer
ence with Gov. Wilson to-day, when
an effort will be made to reach some
basis on which the differences be-
tween the growers and the buyers
can be settled. The sentiment among
the members was that there was
little chance of reaching a satisfac-
tory settlement. but all are willing
t9 do their best toward that end.
ESome surprise was expressed to-
night that the Dark Tobacco Pro-
tective Association, the organization
OF growers in whose territory the
greater part of the outbreak which
led to the industrial conflict being
named the tobacco war" is practi-
cally unrepresented, but is believed
here that farmers from the BLACK
Patch" will arrive in goodly num-
bers on the morning train. Without
representatives from Trigg, Christ
ian, Caldwell and other counties in
that section, the conference will
have failed in it's object at the out
set, as thus far the struggle between
the trust and the farmers in the
white Burley district has been car
ried on without any barns being
burned or plant beds scraped.

was not well fodnded and confirmed the
