the 1909 pool is that selfish or short

last pooling season and confused and

this time.
Extending the time of declaring the
pool to November 1st gives two boards
the opportunity to pass on it. The
old board has the right to declare the
pool off prior to October 1st, if in their
judgment they deem it best. The new
board, elected about October LIST and
representing the will of those who
have just elected them, will have the
right to declare the pool off On or be-
fore November 1St.

In communication to members, the
Executive Committee of the Burlev
Tobacco Society explains why no per
cent clause was inserted in the con-
tract for the 1910 pool, and Why such a
clause could not be embodied. Ac-
comparing this communication is a
letter from COL John r. Allen. writ
ten March 5. in which is stated the
opinion of Attorneys for the Society.
The letter follows:
Dear Sir:-SOme persons who desire
the ruin and destruction of the Bur-
ley tobacco Society and who would in
accomplishing their purpose deliver
the Tobacco growers bound hand and
foot into the power Of the Tobacco
Trust, are through newspapers and on
the stump demanding that a IS per
cent clause be inserted In the pledge.
Since there may be honest men who
honestly believe that such a clause
should be in the pledge. we take this
means OF telling you why those who
have your interests at heart and whom
you have chosen to protect your prop
erty did not and could not insert in
the 1910 pledge IS per cent clause.
The first pledge contained per cent
clause. and we learned by experience
that there is danger in such clause.
When we took legal steps against
men who broke their pledges some
lawyers who could make the worse
cause appear the better would take
the ground that we did not have the
required per cent. In community
where officers of the law and public
sentiment were in the favor of pooling,
the verdict would be for the the Sc
cietY. In communities where the Off
GERS Of the law and public sentiment
were against pooling. the verdict
would be for the man who broke his
pledge. In this way the loss of the
pooled tobacco worked hardship to the
honest members. Seeing the difficulty
that it made, our lawyers advised US
not TO put per cent clause in subse-
Quent contracts.
We include in this circular a letter
from Col. JnO. r. Allen giving his
opinion on this subject.
The General Assembly has passed
all the laws necessary to protect cur
Society II we use common sense and
the light OF experience. But to put a
per cent clause in the 1910 pledge
would open a gap through which con-
tract breakers could escape.
A per cent clause in the contract
would only make mark for the Trust
to shoot at. II we inserted a IS per
cent clause the Trust would have only
to buy up 26 per cent and thus make
any pool impossible. Having bought
the smallest fraction ever One>fOurth
of the crop at good prices the Trust
would be able to control the remain
der Of the crop for any thing it was
pleased to pay.
The way to get Is per cent pledged
is to 60 after it and not to waste time
and energy in a wrangle about a tech
nicality that would seriously weaken

Letter From Col. John r. Allen
Lexington, KY, March 9Th. 1910.
Executive Board Of Burley Tobacco
Society, City.
Gentlemen:-MrP endletOn and my
self have gone over the draft of the
pledge for the year 1910, and return
the same with certain amendments
and changes which we suggested and
which are noted thereon.
We have heretofore advised the
Board very strongly not to embOdy in
the pledge for 1910 any guaranty of the
percentage of tobacco to be pooled or
any number of acres to be pooled be
fore the pool became effective, and we
are glad to know after talking with
the Board that the majority of the
Board agree with us i'm this opinion.
Our experience with litigation grow
ing out of suits against bumpers is
that guaranty Of certain percent
age Of the acreage or a guaranty of a
percentage of the amount of tobacco
to be pooled before the pool becomes
effective was great detriment to US
under the 1906 pledge and put US at a
great disadvantage, because in every
instance the parties plead that we did
not have the percentage pooled as We
claimed, and it would neceSsitate, if
the same clause were contained in the
1910 pledge, great deal of trouble and
expense and investigation in order to
prove that we had the necessary per-
centage pooled.
Yours very truly,
