The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-12-18

The fault of the situation, continues
the Leaf. lies not so much with the
farmer as with those very large manu-
featuring concerns that buy directly
from the farmers, and pay prices so
high that when they have packed their
tobacco it has cost them fully as much
as if they had bought it from the pack
ers. These buyers doubtless figure
that they can afford to pay IS much at
the original source as they would pay
if they bought their tobacco from the
packer, but it is extremely doubtful if
they are justified in such belief.
Their purchases established scale OF
prices which the entire industry has to
meet, and it often happens that, buy
ing in competition one with another,
they run up the prices to an extent
that never would have been achieved
if the tobacco had been bought by the
packing concerns, ana had come to
market in the original and usual way.
Would it not be we'll for those who
have been instrumental in sending up
prices of leaf tobacco to the danger
point to stop and consider whether they
could not achieve just as good results
by methods that are more in accord
with the time honored traditions Of the
cigar manufacturing industry, and that
would not have the same deleterious
effects upon the industry in general?
The report of the Internal Revenue
department for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, now made public, carries
with it information of interest to the
tobacco trade The most assuring fact
is that there was an increase of over
500 million in the output of large cigars
during the year, even though the num-
Der of cigar factories decreased 267 for
the same period. About 13 million
pounds more of cigar leaf was consum-
ed than the year previous. Little cigars
show decline of nearly 100 million,
but there has been phenomenal in
crease in cigarette production, same as
in recent years. In manufactured to-
bacco a healthy increase has occurred.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O.--A major ity of the supreme court today join. ed it an opinion that the Oklahoma Jim Crow law proviso permitting rail- roads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations only to the white race is unconstitutional but they did not SO decree because of an imperfection in the petition filed.

BATTLE IN EAST IS ALMOST ABANDONED

 Wedge-Kilg George m France.

LONDON. Nov. 3O.-Another day Of crucial battle between Russians and Germanic Allies in Poland has pass ed without news Of decisive results. The Berlin official report tonight says there is nothing of importance Co report in Poland, while the Rus sian government rests upon its warning against over optimism
 Facts. as gleaued from various mes sages of correspondents, appear to be three semi-indepeudent engage ments progressing between Thorn on the north and Cracow on the south. in which both combatants have achieved local successes. without dis tinct victory Co either arms.
 The only development in the west ern theatre was a renewal Of the British naval bombardment of the German base at Zeebrugge Advices from Holland report that railway traf- fc, newspapers and posts in the Brussels region are entirely suspend ed ,it is presumed for the purpose Of ,suppressing news of the movement Of German troops Co the eastward
 Some British military experts be- lieve Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's forces have been split into three units, one of which certainly is al- most completely enveloped, while the 1 Russians have driven a wedge be- tween the German army and its Aus trian ally in the region Of Cracow They declare the Germans have con sistenty under estimated the quail ties of their opponents and have op- posed them with a body composed as most wholly of second line truU.s but are now rushing heavy reinforce ments from the western line to aPlid the loss of Polish Sedan They ex- press the opinion that the issue de- pends on whether these men arrive in time
 Berlin reports the failure of Russian attack on the Notifications east of Darkehmen in East Prussia, with heavy losses, while unofficial messages from Petrograd describe im- portant Russian gains and a capture of ten miles of trenches to the north east Of Lodz.
 England was surprised at the an- nouncement that King George had left last night on a visit to the head
 quarters of the British forces in France. where he is certain of enthu-
 siastic reception from the soldiers. This is the fortieth, birthday of Win ston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty and papers, except a few antagonistc to him, pay great tribute to bis remarkable career The seventieth birthday of Queen Mother Alexandria is celebrated tomorrow. Dutch papers say the Germans im- posed an indemnity of seven million dollars monthly on Belgium for the duration of the war for maintainance
 of troops. in addition to seventy-hve million as a war levy for violations
 of neutrality, LuXemburg reports the Germans paid substantial sum for damage resulting in their occupation | lof the Grand Duchy

RUSSO-GERNAN CLASH IN EAST CONTINUES BUT NJ
 DECISIVE RESULTS KNOWN
VILLA TROOPS MAKE THREAT ON CAPTAIN
 J. s. SEA LAUNCH
Complete Mix-Up in Waters Be- low San Diego on Pacific Coast Where Mexican Tioop- ship Seeking to Land Men.

SAN DIEGO, Nov 3O.-That 3SO Villa soldiers landed at Ensenada this morning from the Mexican troopship Manuel Herreriss was the word brought to San Diego this afternoon by the United States cruiser Chat tsnooga which followed the steamer into a lower California port to inves- tigate threats made against the com mander of an American excursion launch off Coronado islands yesterday
 According to the story told by of. ficers of the Chattanooga, the cruis- CTS wireless operator intercepted ra- do messages last night from Point Loma station here Co Admiral How ard on the United States steamship San Diego. This message told of the peculiar behavior of the Mexican troop ship which threatened to fire on the oceangoing launch Golden west of Coronado islands Sunday.
 At the time this message was pick ed up the Chattanooga was only a few miles south of Ensenda and com mander Senn decided to visit the low er California capital 10 investigate affairs. On arriving there. Senn found the Manuel Herrerias already in port and discharging troops. The steamer had on board two small excursion launches which had been kept at Coronado islands by American firms.
 On inquiry the American command CT was told the Manual Herrerrias bod gone north for the purpose of landing troops on the shores Of low CT Califrnia between Ensenda and Tiajuana and that the small eScur- sion launches were confiscated in order tu facilitate landing soldiers. The plan was given up said the Mexi- can authorities on account of the high sea which was running at the time
 Shortage of coal and provisions the Mexicans told Commander Senn com. pelled them to put into Ensenda. The Mexicans did not offer to explain why one trooper board the ship aim ed a rifle at the Golen West and ordered him to take his ship from Mexican territorial waters, nor was it learned why the troops planned to land at a deserted point along the coast rather than at Ensenda

British Consul J. T. Paxton, Promises Local Subjects of Great Britian that Govern ment Will Act in Behalf.
LAW UNCONSTITUTION-
 AL AND UNJUST, CLAIM
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice to Be Notified at Once and Secre- tary Bryan May Have Mat ter Before Him Few Days.

That the British government, thru its representative. ST Cecil Spring Rice. ambassador at Washington will protest against the Eighty Per Cent Law. which throws matter Of one thousand or more subjects of Great Britain out of employment in the Warren District alone, is the at firmed opinion Of J. T. Paxton, Brit ish consul at Douglas
 Consul Paxton, accompanied by his secretary, motored to Bisbee yester- day afternoon from the Shelter City and met a large delegation of the men who are effected by the recently passed law He met them in the lob- by Of the Copper Queen hotel and afier a short talk with them re- turned to his post in Douglas
 While here the case of the local British subjects was placed before him It was pointed out by several of the spokesmen that the law at fleets in the neighborhood Of one thousand British subjects in the War ren District alone This does not in- Clude those of other nationaliues, ac- cording to some. who will be eliminat- ed from working in the state of Ari- aona.
 In a brief interview Consul Paxton declared that be would at once take the matter up with Ambassador Rice in Washington The next step, ac- cording 10 the consul. would be to place 1t before the foreign secretary in London and thence back to the secretary Of state
 It is alleged by the Englishmen and by Consul Paxton that the stat Ute is unconstitutional in the eX- treme as it denies them. as well as other aliens, the rights guaranteed them under the fundamental law of the country They also declare that it Is unjust, inasmuch as it does not allow those affected by 1t time in which to readjust themselves or does it give them time to prepare to meet the provisions of the bill
 In some quarters the matter, as 1t affects the citizens of other coun, tries. takes on similar importance to the Alien Land law passed by the state of California several years ago and which caused Secretary Bryan and the administration a great deal of worry and anxiety. What steps could be taken by the secretary Of state. once the matter is placed be fore him, is unknown.
 The law, according to the under standing Of Consul Paxton, takes ef feet on December g. or thirty days after the election and immediately after the votes have been canvasseC at the state capitol The Consul de clares that the need is urgent fol some action and inferred that hi. government would. undoubtedly, take steps immediately. to protect th' rigsts and interests Of its subjects 1T the state of Arizona.
