EFFORT TO BE MADE TO INDUCE
THIS GOVERNMENT TO TAKE
CHARGE OF LEAF EXPORT
TRADE.
FARMERS BEHIND |

The fact that the joint house and
senate commission to investigate the
alleged conspiracy of foreign repre-
sentatives to deprcss dark leaf tobac-
co prices has gotten down to work IN
earnest, was a fruitful topic OF con-
versation in tobacco circles yesterday.
While a few of the tobacconists ex-
press the belief that there is no real
basis for the allegation of the grow
ers that a combine exists among for
eign representatives to keep prices
down, other dealers and all of the
growers who have interested them
selves in the matter are firmly con-
WINGED that the government investi-
cation will reveal a colored man in
the woodpile.
Want Government to Control.
The Farmers union of Virginia in
stigatod the present government in
vestigation of the dark tobacco sttua-
ton. and 1t is said that bills are short
ly to be presented to both houses of
congress. drawn under the direction
of the union, seeking to give the gov
crn1aent control of the tobacco export
situation in the United States in
somewhat similar manner to the sys-
tenn prevailing abroad. only. of course,
the American government would be
the seller, while the foreign govern
Inents are buyers of the leaf.
Japanese governments have buyers on
the Virginia markets. In the cases
of France and Japan, the govern
ment buys the leaf, manufactures 1t,
and sells 1t through agents, the for
mer government operating a pension
system in the operation of disposing
Of the manufactured product. The
Italian and Austrian governments buy
the American leaf through their
agents here and sell TO manuIac-
turers.
Opinions Varied.
Some Of the tobacco men APP
preached yesterday ventured the
opinion that an effort to induce the
government to take hold of the
American tobacco crop which Is sold
abroad was Of too socialistic a ten
dency to succeed. while others ex-
pressed the belief that II was good
move toward checking any possible
designs Of foreign buyers to depress
prices. As with every other subject
there was a diversity Of opinion.
In the meantime the commission,
Of which Senator Martin, of Virginia,
is chairman. and which embraces in
it's membership Congressman Hal D.
Flood Is getting down TO brass tacks,
and if any methods that smack of ir
regularity are being pursued, pro-
poses to unearth them in order that
this government may take action to
protect the tobacco growers,

tional Report on the Condition of
Women and Children in the United
States that eighty-one per cent ef.a1l
factory girls living at home put their
entire earnings into the family treas
ury.
But one of the most reiterated
reasons given for the low wage paid
to women and young girls is the as
sertion made that the women and.
young girls represent unintelHgent,
unsl1illed, inefficient labor; that they
need to be trained; that if they were
skilled workers their wage would en-
title them to living. If there is one
statement above another which
shows lack of knowledge of the con-
ditions in industry today, it is the as
sertion that skill is the only deter.
mining factor in the wage question.
Believing as we do in all that
makes training and education univer-
sal, we may yet ask ourselves what
of the hand-workers of costly lace,
representing some of the most skilled
as well as the cheapest labor for gem
erations? What of the skilled work
ers in the. sewing trades? What of
the skilled needle women who en-
broider beautiful shirtWaists or
dresses, and after working for two
weeks at such an embroidered dress
viii receive a wage of $3.50 for the

OF the urgent need for the ena
women workers, Mrs. Robins said:
mo one will deny that however
difficult the problem, we find our
selves under conditions demanding
immediate action. The right to live
and the right to earn a living are in
distinguishable terms. The question
of the low wage must be met. Let
US consider for few moments some
of the reasons given for the low wage
paid to the women workers of Amer
lea. We are told that the wages of
women need not be adequate for self
support because the girls live at
home. When this fact is given by an
employer as a reason for low wage
does he not accept as silent partners
in his enterprise the fathers or broth
ers or husbands who support these
girls? And, would it not be well for
the working men to ask themselves
if .they-could not find a more profit
able Investment for their earnings
than to furnish the means of support
to their daughters when their work
entities them to a self-supporting
wage? Another reason given for the
low wage is that women, or young
girls, have no one dependent upon
them for support. If, through the
most stupid and unintelligent malad-
justment of /. our industrial life,
fathers of, families are thrown out of

There is every why Pensacola should be a

The Loquacious
Sen-tor MARITIME.

Senator MARITIME, of New Jersey. has
a habit of talking too much. Other
public men have the same weakness,
but many people think the New Jersey
statesman says things that might en-
barrass President Wilson, who made
MARITIME what he is.
The Baltimore convention committed
the democratic party to the principle
of only one term for a president. 1t
was believed Mr.. Wilson approved OF
that plank and it was known that Mr..
Bryan did as he is thought to have
written it with his own hand. In the
senate, Mr.. MARITIME said that Mr.. Will
son. personally, believed in that prin-
ciple His democratic colleagues tried
to make him modify his statement or
hush talking, but political opponents
lead him on.
Out in Missouri, the other day, Mar
tine said that If William Jennings
Bryan is a candidate for president at
the next general election. nothing on
earth could prevent his election.
All of which is perhaps true, but just
at this time the democratic party is
concerned more about policies than 1t
is about candidates. Anyhow, Mr..
Marines repeated references to a Sec
ond term are in bad form.
