That Their Grievances Re-
ceive Immediate Atten-
tion of Mediators
STUMBLING BLOCK
BEFORE SETTLEMENT
Work of the Board Has Not
Passed Preliminary
Stages

the eastern railroads that their griev-
ances against the men should receive Im-
mediate consideration was the chief
stumbling block before the federal board

its effort to harmonic the railroad man
ayers and tehir conductors and train
men The board this morning received
committee of twelve representing the
two labor organizations, and it is ne
Iieyed informed them that the managers
at final conference last night with the
mediators refused to withdraw their de-
mand.

has not yet passed the preliminary

TO both tobacco growers, and the men

ket. appointed by the president, Id
actively at work.
The object of the commission will
be to ascertain if there exists any
combination of representatives of for

In the United States to depfess the
price Of the dark leaf.

The commission has organized with
the election of Senator Thomas S,
Martin. OF Virginia, as chairman. and

hers Of the commission.
The officials of the State agr1cui-
tural department are very much
pleased with the action Of the federal
government. and believe that the COM
mission Will be able by probing 10
uncover a condition of affairs that
Will surprise great many people.
Director John ]. Owen. who is a
grower of dark tobacco himself, and
has made 2 special study of this spe-
cial subject. has always contended
that the decrease in the price Of the
dark leaf. as paid by representatives
of foreign governments, was such as
to suggest an artificial cause, and he

Half OF Crop Goes Abroad.
II is fact perhaps not generally
known outside of tobacco circles that
practically half Of Nirginia's big crop
Of dark tobacco Ia sold for export,
most Of IL going TO Austria and Ger
many, though France and other coun-
tries get some OF II too.
If the federal government can dis
cover the existence of any combi-
nation aimed at the depression of
price and break il UP. the relief to
the tobacco growers will be something
worth while
While it may not come within the
province of the present commission.
tobacco growers and dealers are COM
planning of another evil with which
they have to contend and that is~the
sFaipping into this State OF Tennes-
see and Kentucky tobacco fer export
as Virginia leaf The Virginia leaf
is regarded abroad as the best OBJ
tainable. and the palming OF of in
ferior tobacco on foreign buyers as
Virginia leaf. is not helping the repu-
tation Of the Virginia weed.
This latter evil. some dealers say.
may have some bearing on the price
situation too.
