The committee itself played the gov

of labor. The report cannot be acted
on before the July sitting of the Reich

1t Is next TO impossible TO got the
exact ngures TO show the pounds Of
| smoking tobaccos manufactured In this
city. The books In the Office Of the
collector OF Internal revenue show the
amount or money paid as stamp tax
on manufactured tobacco IN general.
The tax on smoking and chewing to-

books just how much OF the manufac-
tured weed was put up for the smok-
ers of the country. However. from in
formation gathered from the manufac-
turers OF Richmond the above table
Was made. round numbers being used.
1t will be seen that the increase in
the smoking tobacco output In Rich
mond has been very small from year
to year. that for the year ending April
90 of this year being only 100000
pounds over the output for the pre-.
vlous twelve months period. However.
Richmond has made much better rec
ord than other smoking tobacco man
ufacturing centers, and tho wonder is
that it has not. like most other CEN

The fact Is that the cigarette IL
growing in popularity with the slnok-
ers Of the whole country. and thou
sands of the lovers Of the weed are
quitting the pipe for the little cor
fin nails Evidence OF this fact Is
shown In the increased output Of every
cigarette factory in the country OF any
prominence and the decreased output
OF a majority OF the smoking tobacco
factories. outside OF Richmond.

That Richmond has more than held
It's own under these circumstances is
cause OF congratulation. and. OF
course. It Is due In the main to the
superiority of tho well-known brands
