AMERICAN TOBACCO
COMPANY CASE
Plans Of Reorganization Discussed by
Attorneys General and lndepend.
ent Manufacturers.
M Agsoclated Press.l

New York. Oct. 30.-The proceed
ings here today before the federal cir
cult court in the case Of the American
Tobacco Co. and it's subsidiary con
Germs mark a new and important step
in the governments struggle with the
trust problem. Today the court hears
the views of the federal department
OF Justice, of the attorneys general Of
four states and of practically all the
so-called independent manufacturers,
dpon the plan Of reorganization pro-
posed by the Aemrican Tobacco Com
pany after the supreme court had de-
clared it an Illegal monopoly.
New York, Oct. 30.-Repre sentatives
of the Independent tobacco interests
appeared in the United States circuit
court today to oppose the dissolution
plan formulated by the American To
bacco Company, the so-called tobacco
trust. Counsel for the Independents
declared that the trust, in dividing it.
self into four companies, will only
increase its monOpolistic power.
The plan Of distintegration proposed
by the trust, counsel for the independ-
ents alleged. is fundamentally defect
tive, in that it fails to conform to the
requirements Of the decree of the
! United States supreme court. 1t was
charged that Its adoption and ap-
proval would not in any substantial
sense restore free competitive condi-
tions in the tobacco industry" 1t was
further set forth that the approval of
the plan would affect seriously the
business interests Of the Independents
The court took the protests under
consideration and promised decision
at as early date as possible.
Opinion is divided as to the means
to be taken to dissolve the trust and
restore competition. A majority OF the
! Independent manufacturers and deal
ers and tobacco growers favor the
drastic course limited at by the United
States supreme court-the appoint
ment of a receiver. the dissolution Of
the combination and the distribution
lof its assets.
