From the BRIEF and argument for
the American Tobacco company sub
mitted by It's attorneys TO the FULL
, bench OF the United States circuit
court. II Is learned why concealment
was practiced in stock ownership and
why the trust tried 10 keep secret
the fact that II had acquired interests
in certain plants.
II is claimed that in 1893 the Am.
erfcan Tobacco company found that
prejudice existed against II and that
IL could carry on its business more
successfully II left in the hands OF n
separate organization. This idea led
TO the organization OF the RI Reyn-
olds Tobacco company. thurman 4
Welbern Tobacco company, the John
Bollman company and others.
Growth Of Prejudice.
In the brief il is stated that con.
trust-made products and that this
prejudice was constantly being famed
by independent manufacturers and
trades unions. Another incident that
was used by its competitors" the brief
says. arose out OF It's relations with
the Tobacco Workers union. Now
the American Tobacco company is
not antagonistic 10 labor unions l.
employs labor and pays adequate
wages. without requiring them TO
belong TO any labor union. but with
out forbidding their Joining any they
please. and without any desire TO use
on its own products the blue label that
indicates that the goods bearing such
label have been made in a manufac-
tory operated on union lines"
President Duke Testifies.
President Dukes testimony was as
follows on the question OF the label:
Il understand that IL was the fear
that they would lose business that
caused the stockholders In some OF
the concerns that were using the
union label on their goods 10 keep
secret the fact that we--the so-called
trust-had acquired a majority inter
est In those concerns. | would not
use anybody's marks except my own
on my goods
Mr.. Duke disclaimed hostility to
the unions for himself and for the
American Tobacco company hut
maintained that they would not use
the union label though he admitted
that some subsidiaries OF the trust
were using the union label.
Globe Tobacco Company.
The Globe Tobacco company, OF De-
troit. seemed 10 be thorn in the
side OF the trust. and this is taken
from the brief:
With this hostility on the part OF
the labor unions. some independent
manufacturers. competitors OF the
American Tobacco company, were In
dustrious in their appeals TO public
sentiment and prejudice. The Globe
