Representatives David H. Kinche-
Toe and Alben w. Barley, of Ken
lucky, and James Bryns, OF Tennes-

revenue bill which would instruct the

the United States in product that

IMMENSE LOSS IN SIGHT.
Senator's James asked for views of
the growers on the ACCESSIBILITY of
holding tins years crop and refusing
to sell at reduced prices. Mr.. Cooper
declared that the maintenance of the
embargo means possible financial
loss of 100000 to the dark tobacco
growers. Eighty per cent. OF dark
tobacco is exported, Mr.. Cooper de-
clared, and the growers face the pres
pect of no market for rs per cent. of
their crop.

barge is the result of collision be-
tween the English Government and
the imperial and American Tobacco
Companies" said Mr.. Cooper, "but

no way to sell it. We came here to
ask protection of our Government.
