to the cost of the building. Now the
building pays for itself-often more
every six-day week through its in
ternal eVenu collections.
Another factor that points to Wins
ton-Salem's growing Importance as a
tobacco manufacturing center is the
fact that it has been designated as a
port of entry and a deputy collector
of customs has been appointed and
is now in charge. This means that the
duty on imported materials, and i'm
ported ~tobaccos, may be collected by
the local customs officer. The goods
will be shipped here and stored in a
bonded warehouse, which the r. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Co. has made avail
able for that purpose.
WinstOn-Salem's Largest Concern
Ask any citizen of Winston-Salem
what is the most important and the
largest industry in the city, and he
will at once point with pride to the
gigantic plant of the r. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Co., which manufactures to-
bacco products that are nationally ad-
vertised-thus incidentally adyertis-
ing Winston-Salem-and sold in ev-
cry city and hamlet in this country
and in all parts of the world. 1t has
been stated authoritatively that about
one-third of the population of this
city is dependent upon the Reynolds
organization for a living.
From the very beginning Mr.. r. j.
Reynolds, president, has been the
guiding genius of this great organi-
cation. After having sold tobacco
manufactured by his father, located
on the family plantation, in Patrick
county, Virginia, from a wagon which
he drove all over this part of the
country, he came to Winston-Salem
in 1875 with $500 cash capital. AT
this time he built the first plant,

not so large as those of Ambassador

RI SEEMS CERTAIN

A strike has been ordered on all
railroads OF the country, to become
effective next Monday morning at z
o'clock. President Wilson has prob
ably lone his best to avert the calam-
ity, but was evidently unable to bring
about the desired result.
The railway presidents in Washing
ton offered to submit the whole ques-
ton to arbitration, but this the
Brotherhood chiefs refused to agree
to, submitting a counter proposition
that the eight-hour day be conceded
and all other matters arbitrated. 1t
will thus be seer that the bone of con-
tention was the eight-hour day prin-
ciple, which the Brotherhood chiefs
evidently feared they might lose by
arbitration.
1t is understood that the grievance
comes from the eastern railway en-
ployes, and that the western men, who
are well satisfied with present con-
d~itions, are standing by their less for
tunate brothers purely as a matter of
sympathy. Be that as it may, it is
certain that railroaders in this sec
ton have no just cause for complaint.
1t is stated that an engineer on this
division of the Southern Pacific drew
$3.50 for last months services. Should
the government take over the opera
ton of the railways of the country, as
now appears probable if the men
strike. it is not likely that engineers
Will receive anything like the month
ly salary named above.
1t would seem that if employees
could receive a guarantee that the
railroads will abide by the decision
of the arbitrators that this method OF
settling the difficulty would be just.
III the men cannot win their case by
submitting it to an unprejudiced COM
mission, they IA never win it by a
enlist public sympathy. which is al
ways on the side of reason and fair
play.
In this respect the Brotherhoods
will probably ind themselves in the
position of the Typographical union
with respect to the Los Angeles
Times. A strike of printers employed
on that paper was ordered more than
thirty years ago, and is still unset
tied. The publishers paid their men
slightly better than the union scale
of wages, and while from the stand
point OF a union printer their de-
mands were Just, they have never
been able to command the sympathy
of the public, which is essential to
their success.
Another incident in point is the
historic trouble of the Typographical
union and Wilbur f. Storey, owner OF
the Chicago Times. This publisher
successfully fought the union for
years, and up until the day of his
death, simply because he paid his en-
ployes better than union prices.

United States treasury was more than
S23, 0O0, 900 and only a few hundred
thousand dollars less than it was for
the same period of last year. Yet
the revenue receipts for this years
period were more than ten millions

LARGEST TOBACCO
FACTORY IN WORLD

For the fiscal year ending June 30.
1915, the total collections on tobacco
for the First Missouri District (St.
Louis) were $5,579.94; for the Fifth
North Carolina District (Winston-Sa-
lem) $7,844,331.43, or more than 40
per cent greater than st. Louis"
Until recently st. Louis led all
cities as a tobacco manufacturing
center. The forward thrust of Wins
ton-Salem is therefore seen to be In
the nature of phenomenal.
For the year 1914 the United States
census showed that the cities of st.
Louis and Winston-Salem-the two
leading tobacco manufacturing cen
ters of the world-had from their
combined tobacco manufacturers an
output valued, respectively, at $780,
2O7,S93 and 1872 3,966. From these
figures ii will be seen that Winston
Salem led st. Louis by $66.073 in
1914. When they become available
the figures for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1916, will show Winston-Sa-
lem's lead to be nothing short of
amazing.
In this connection note that last
week the tODaccO manufacturers of
Winston-Salem paid the United States
government 1921. 253.27, through its
local internal revenue office, for reve-
nue. stamps, and for the firscal year
ended June 80. 1915. the receipts col
lected from the local manufacturers
of tobacco totaled $7.123, 278. 78. or an
approximate weekly average of 1885,
900. Compared with last weeks re-
ceipts. the average weekly receipts
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
of last year were. about half the
amount of the latest weekly figures.
These figure facts eloquently show
the tremendous increase that has been
made here during the last year in the
manufacture of tobacco.

The 60 per cen reduction which
the Democratic tariff law made in the
duty on oats-from Is cents under
the Republican law to 6 cents-raised
hob with the American market during
the fiscal year ended June so, 1914,
nine months of which was under the
Democratic law. During that fiscal
year 22,266,000 bushels of oats came
n from Canada, valued at $3.50, 900,
compared with an importation OF
100000 bushels in 1913, valued at
S275,550 under the Republican tariff
law. Then the war came along, and
Canada vas obliged to divert the bulk
OF her oat crop to the theatre of hos
t~ilities. The same situation presented
itself in regard to hay. the Democrats
reducing the duty on hat product so
per cent. Our markets were being
stuffed with Canadian hay, when the
war broke out and that crop went to
Europe. Recently the embargo on ex-
ports of hay from Canada to neutral
countries vas raised and the pros
pect is bright for Canadian farmers.
many of whom have carried over a
portion of their last years crop, and
they plan to unload that on our mar
ket, thanks to the Democratic tariff
law. Do u farmers stand for a poll
icy which opens the American mar
ket to competition from Canada linn
tied only by the productivity of Ca
madam soil? Isn't the Republican pol
icy of protection a pretty good one?

METROPOLIS CO.
IS AGAIN SUED
Right to Store the Waters Of Bishop
Creek is Contested.

A suit TO determine the right of the
Metropolis Land company to impound
the waters of Bishop creek, one of the
head tributaries of the Humboldt riv-
er, in Elko county, was brought in the
District Court today by Alphone Ber-
nard, Golconda rancher, through his
attorney, ]. A. Langwith.
The Metropolis Land company, de-
PENDANT, is the successor of the Pacific
Reclamation company, which latter
company was defendant in a suit
brought couple of years ago by fifty
Lovelock ranchers to prevent it from
storing the waters Of Bishop and
Burnt creeks for an irrigation project
at Metropolis. This suit was finally
settled by stipulation, the defendant
paying the costs and being given the
right to carry out the irrigation pro-
ject as far as storing the waters OF
Bishop creek is concerned. The set
Element was considered in the nature
of compromise.
Now the legal right of the irrigation
company to hold back the waters of
Bishop creek is again contested in the
suit just instituted.
