MANILA GOVERNMENT GOES
In HE CIGAR BUSINESS

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.D /
Manila, p. l., April 1S.-AttaCks
that have been made on Philippine
cigars by certain dealers in the
United States have led to the unusual
action Of the Philippine government
itself taking hand in the cigar bust
ness and hereafter it will watch the
Manufacture of cigars from the grow
ing Of the tobacco in the field to the
finished product as it is packed in
boxes. This viii entiue it 70 bear in
the form Of a seal government
stamp guaranteeing the quality Of
the contents Of each paCGage, this
seal TO be broken only by the retailer
in the United States.
Ever since the passage OF the
Payne bill gave the Filipino access,
with restrictions in amount, to the
United States markets, the bureau of
health has supervised the sanitary
condition of the Manila factories and
now they compare favorably with the
most Clearly housewives well kept
/ kitchen. The requirements are so
/ eXactiug that workers are subjected
TO a regid physical examination be
fore beng permitted to register at
( a government bureau.
Now the cigar itself must be made
/ equal to the best product o. other
countries and to this end the most
infexible inspections will be made
not only Of the general quality and
appearance as formerly. but of ev-
cry leaf that goes into the cigar. The
restrictions Will prevent the POSSIBLE
ity Of any INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
er sending out cigars Of inferior
grade and only the best Philippine to-
bacco will reach the consumer.
Even now after three years of free
trade, only 10000 cigars were ship
ped to the United States from the is
lands in the fiscal year 1912. while
the annual consumption in the United
States reached 5000. 100000. The
low grade Filipino tobacco is made
into cigarettes of which many mil
lions are consumed in the islands
while only a few thousands of a
higher grade find their way into the
markets of the world.

DENEHEY DENIES
RELIEF DISSOLUTION

An emphatic denial OF the report
that a dissolution of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Relief Association had been
contemplated soon after January L..
was made at Philadelphia division
headquarters. Speaking for Superin-
tendent William b. McCaleb, who was
in Philadelphia. W. r. Denehey, his
chief clerk, said
There is absolutely nothing in it.
The rumor, no doubt. emanated from
the many stories concerning the pro-
posed Pennsylvania Railroad En-
ployes Mutual Benefit Association,
which was expected to take the place
OF the RELIEF department.
"As to any illegality in the conduct
Of the relief department. that would
certainly nave jeen discovered before
this, as the association has been I'm
