Plans, Policy and Pledge Explained
In an Address to the Burtey Growers

This explanation covers the main
features of this pledge.
Policy of the Board.
II is the intention Of the board, on or
before the first day of October. after
1t has ascertained all the facts that
can he obtained as to the extent Of this
years crop and after the pledges have
been turned in. not to declare the
pool a go on a bare majority of the
board. but to take a vote by counties,
according to the amount therein
pooled, and the pool will be declared
off unless a vote of two thirds Is OBJ
tanned In favor Of making the pool
final.
Warehouse Receipts Collateral.
AS to financing. the board proposes
to secure the necessary fund through
the cooperation of the Burley Tobac-
co Company, which WILL have capital
stock and financial standing and will
by its endorsement make the con-
tracts good. This tobacco company
will also. when necessary. endorse the
growers warehouse receipts so as-to
give them value and lend It's credit to
these warehouse receipts In any bank.
The members Of this board have been
assured by bankers in high standing
in this district that these receipts en-
,dorsed by the tobacco company would
be acceptable as good collateral.
Home Rule Safeguarded.
II IS the purpose of the board in the
organization of this Burley Tobacco
Company to make provision for the
warehousing and storing Of the pooled
tobacco in every county where tobacco
is pooled. It will be the policy of the
members of this board, and they will
recommend TO their successors, that
the money due to each county from
the proceeds Of any sale OF its tobacco
shall be forwarded at once to that
county for deposit and distribution
through the banks Of that county.
New Board VIII Fix Policy.
To our successors in the district
board, elected by the pool members
next September, who will enter upon
their duties at the regular meeting in
October. will be left the carrying out
of these policies and such other plans
ana policies as the members may
deem best to recommend, and we only
give this outline as a result OF our
past experience for a guide to those
who may come after. and as an assur-
ance on the part of those who may be
reelected as to their future policy.

"PEACE ENDS
hurley WAR"
Summary of the Proceed
ings and Result of Con-
ference at Winchester

The following dispatch sent from
Winchester. August tenth, proclaimed
to the world that the "Burley War"
was ended:
&c. o. Drayton. president Of the Ma
tional Union, and J. Campbell Cantrill
president of the State Union Of the
American Society of Equity, met with
the Executive Committee of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Society in Winchester this
afternoon and reached a perfectly
amicable settlement Of the differences
between the American Society of
Equity and the Burley Tobacco So
ciety, and left In good spirits, all agree
ing to push the pooling of the 1909
crop under the present pledge. To
settle the differences the Executive
Committee proposed:
'First-To allow the 81 per hogs
head for pooling the 1909 crop in those
counties in the hurley district where
the American Society of Equity is now
organized to the County Union, to be
paid though the County Board Of Con-
troll on the condition that the work OF
pooling is carried on promptly anc
effectively by the County Union.
"Second-That the Executive Com
mittee would recommend and insist
on the District Board adopting the
following bylaws, fixing the maximum
fee for prizing and handling the tobac'
co of the 1909 crop, and that the
money going to the counties from all
sales shall be sent to the counties
and deposited in banks In the coun-
ties to which It is due within ten days
after being received at the head bur
ley office IN Winchester.
Equity Society Gets. $4,000.
Third--In consideration of the work
to be done by the National and State
Unions of the American Society of
Equity IN helping to pool the 1909
crop, the Burley Society will pay
$4,000 to be divided between the Ma
tional and State Unions, one half Of
which will be paid on or before Oc-
tober l, 1909, when the pool is de-
clared to be go, and the balance 70
be paid when the 1909 pool tobacco is
sold out of the proceeds Of such sale"
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1909-09-01
PLEDGE CORRECTS
BESETTING EVILS
Contract for This Year Is
Based on Experience Of
Three Years.

In 1906 and 1907 q campaign was
made to educate tobacco growers 10
pool their crops for better prices. II
took much teaching and persuasion
but they pooled The pledges of 1906
and 1907 were such that much Tobacco
got away without the society being
able to recover adequate damages and
the faithful had to wait long with add
ed expense. Under these pledges the
cost Of handling and carrying were I'M
necessarily high and there was much
friction and many inequalities.
The advocates Of the present pledge
wish to make a campaign that shall
teach the farmers not only to pool but
to pool under a contract that will hold
the tobacco, reduce the costs Of hand.
ling and carrying and do away with
inequalities and friction.
The present pledge is the product OF
three years experience and has for its
sole object the protection Of every man

Interests of economy, a uniform system
that will eliminate friction and In
CAPABILITIES, and expedite the work and

"a financial backing that will enable

ments Of the manufacturers.
The pledge was devised by those
who have for three years faithfully
served the people and who in the light
of experience have recommended to
the growers what seems the strongest
guarantee for a wise. economical and
business plan upon which 20 conduct
the business.
The pledge needs only to BE- prop
erly understood in order TO be ap
proved. -

THE SOLICITORS
1909 CONTRACT
Careful Study Of Difficulties
Points to 1t AS the AIDE
auate Solution

The solicitors contract was adopted
after long and careful study and delib-
Grafton. Every possible objection TO 1t
was considered and threshed out by
the executive committee and the Dis
trict Board.
Some thought that the compensation
was too high in the precincts where
the tobacco could be easily pooled. II
was then understood that the County
Board Of Control could use discretion
and subjoin an additional statement
showing that In the matter Of compen'
sation the contract had been modified
to meet local conditions. The main
point was that s1.00 was the maximum
compensation; but If the desired re-
suits. an absolutely accurate and re-
liable report Of a given precinct, could
be secured at less cost, the the boaru
was quite willing that the County Board
OF Control should make Lhe best con-
tract II could.
Responsibility Of Solicitor.
But in naming $1.00 as the maximum
compensation, the committee and the
board considered that man or sum-
Client energy, force and influence to
make a successful solicitor would at
the same time be a nfen who had
business Of his own to attend to anu
who would If not soliciting tobacco be
otherwise profitable employed. Ihey
could not ask such a man to leave his
own business and throw his best ener-
giles into this work without adequate
compensation.
They further considered that In some
cases he might have to go again ana
again to the same man and that he was
further under obligation to watch all
tobacco pooled by him until 1t was de-
livered to the County Board Of Control
and he would then have to walt until
the tobacco was sold before he received
his compensation. They therefore
thought that $1.O0 per hogshead was
not too much as a maximum price.
Accurate Record, Pooled and Unpooled'
Sometime before the solicitors con
tract was finally agreed upon Mr.. l..
7 Evans of Brown county, Ohio, said
in the executive committee, that IN
his county the local unions would
want to pool the tobacco. 1t was then
and there agreed that the object vas
IN MOL the tobacco and TO have an ac-
curate report of the acres planted
both pooled and unpooled, and that
the 800 per hogshead was onered as
an inducement to secure those re-
suits and that If a local union through
its chairman or otherwise, could sign
the solicitors contract there was no
reason why the tobacco should not be
nooled in this way and the $1.OO go to
the local unions. From that time on
this was the understanding and was
thoroughly discussed and agreed upon
in an all day meeting in Grant county.
July 20. 4.
The questions that have been at Is,
sue between the various factions OF
tobacco growers have their rise in mis-
apprehension. The great difficulty In
a farmers movement is that they are
SO widely scattered that 1t Ia difficult
to get any proposition In all Its bear
ings before all of them. The work re-
quires the greatest patience and for
bearance from all sides. Everybody
wants to do right as soon as he knows
what the right is.
