THE AMERICAN TOBACCO co.
It Is About to Take Steps to Dis
solve.

Rumors that the American Tobacco
Company known as 1.-The tobacco trust"
is about to take steps toward dissolution.
under advice or warning from the bureau
of corporations. are unfOunded.
The trust" may be on the point of
dssolvng. as rumored. but the bureau OF
corporations of the Department of Com
merce and Labor has played no part in
| the affair." according to a statement made
| this morning to a reporter for The Star
by Herbert Knox Smith. commissioner of
corporations. Commissioner Smith said
| that he knew nothing of the intentions of
| the company. except what he had read in
the newspapers. and that the organization
was acting. if acting at all. entirely of its
own motion.
three plants for making cigars by machin-
ery-at WhitlOck, Va. Jersey City and
Lancaster, Pa.-are closing to take In
ventory. and will remain closed until
April ~
When the three plants start again it is
| said they will no longer be connected with
or known as being connected with the
American Tobacco Company. They will
be known as the Federal Cigar Company,
makers exclusively of machine-made CT
garS.
According to many it is believed that
the entire American Tobacco Company,
the Anne rican or United States Cigar
Stores Company. the American Cigar
Stands Company. the American Snuff
Company. the American Licorice Com
pany, together with many other underly-
ing and subsidiary companies composing
the American Tobacco Company, will I'M
dergo the same process as that OF the
three machine-made cigar plants and that
a number of independent companies con-
trolling the tobacco and paper cigarette,
boxes licorice, Russian and Turkish Gig
arctic, leaf and export and other COM
panies will be reorganized under separate
heads.
1t is said that this Undertaking is to be
