TOBACCO TRADES MEETING
Movement on Foot In London Co Solve
Problems of Trade that Cause
DimcuIty.


LONDON, May lS.-(Special) AT a repre-
sentative meeting Of members OF the to-
Dacco trade held in London in January last
under the presidency OF Thomas Gailaher,
a resolution favoring Henry Jerroid Ma
thans idea of tobacco trades council and
desiring him to proceed with its formation
was unanimously carried. In furtherance
of Mr.. Natnans proposals a well attended
peeting OF all sections OF the tobacco trade
has Just been held at the Great Eastern
hotel BiShopgates street. The general pur-
pose Of the meeting was to call attention
to the objects of the newly formed
Tobacco Trades Council, which has
just been incorporated as a limited COM
pany. In circular dealing with the ques-
ton Of the formation of a tobacco trades
council Mr.. Nathan states It is common
knowledge that the ogden Bonus associa-
ton, consisting OF a comparatively insig-
nihcaut number of individual tobacconists
throughout the kingdom. by combination
and under the leadership Of a small COM
mttee wrested from a gigantic and de-
termned opponent rights which had been
absolutely withheld. That force should be
again employed, with the assistance OF all
sections of the tobacco trade. to advance
their interests by removing as far as pos
sible all causes of friction between them
by doing away with all unfair and foolish
competition and by providing facilities
which would materially reduce the expenses
of their business.
Those in charge Of the movement have
spent a vast deal of time studying out in
detail the manner In which the indepen-
dents have been waging war against the
Tobacco trust in the United States Of Amer
lea Among the various objects of the new
council are the establishment of a benevo-
lent fund upon lines far larger than any
thing at present existing; the carrying on
Of all the work Of a trade protection So
ciety; the establishment of arbitration
tribunals to deal with the disputes between
members, and thus dispense with litiga-
tion providing members with legal advice
ana assistance in nonlitigous matters to a
certain extent free Of cost. and otherwise
on terms they would not be able indvidu-
ally to obtain; and the supplying to each
member a trade paper with a limited num-
Der OF advertisements therein gratis.
Unanimous su Jrt was given to these
objects and man. new members are being
constantly added.

told about the scope and power of the COM

least in Its hands. In a written agreement
Mayor Schmitz has bound himself, It is
said, to carry out any request which this
committee, made up OF representatives OF
the leading commercial organizations Of
the city, may make of him. The committee
already has begun an investigation into the
conduct of the police department and will
gradually extend its scope OF it's actions to
the works board, street department and
other branches of the municipal govern
ment.
Its purpose is to make thorough inquiry
into the conditions that exist in various
branches OF the city government and to
make such changes in personnel and meth
ods as shall be Judged necessary.

with the city government, he must remove
those whom we designate or go back on his
written promise. The only hold we have
on him is his promise. II he disresards
that we can do nothing but believe he
