Corporations, today made public Sub
divisions II and III of Part I, of his
repor. on the Tobacco Industry. They
deal with the present organization OF

degree of Control in that industry.
and the development of that control.
These divisions of the report, re-

into the business operations of the

@borate discussion of the methods by
which the manufacture of tobacco, ex
cept cigars, has come under the con

The American Tobacco Company and
its. three great subsidiary comlbina-
lions. The American Snuff Company,
The American Cigar Company, and
the British-American Company, lbesid-
|es 50 other subsidiary ncern doing
business in the United States, Porto
Rico and Cuba THE Coordination

of over 1915, 000, 900. A very small
group of ten stock holders controls
