LANCASTER, Pa, ia. n 2, 1919.
There have been no sales of the 1918
tobacco crop that would give indication
OF q bnying movement, and no trans
actions in ola goods.
While packers are speculating on
when buying will begin and the prices
to be paid, some Of them are quietly
conducting an examination Of the new
crop, as there has been much talk that
the 1913 crop will not burn.
What is supposed TO have been the
first shipment of tobacco from this part
of the country TO European countries
was made last week by the Raymond
A. Heiland Tobacco Co. of this city.
The shipments were of good size and
are the first made since the war began
nearly two years ago.
AS the year comes to an end there is
a noticeable increase in the number of
applications for permits to engage in
the cigar manufacturing business in
the Ninth Pennsylvania revenue dis
trict. Last week there were six ap-
plications and the previous week also a
large number. Some of these manu-
faeturers we're in business before but
discontinued about year or so ago on
account of difficulties besetting the
trade. In starting up again they ap-
parently see prospects of better con-
ditions with the arrival of the new
wear

Things commence to brighten up in
the tobacco situation. The months
delay in packing house opening because
of epidemic is now relieved by permis-
sion of the health officers. The Eek
hart Dyson and Bekkedal houses opened
up on Monday morning with limited
crews of s'zers and packers, both men
and women being employed. The Nc
Intosh and Hazen houses are to open
under similar conditions on Thursday,
the second of January. They are to
work on goods purchased in the July
and August campaign. which is now
being received in limited way, but
will soon commence to flow freely.
Some of the foreign buyers and their
local representatives have commenced
to receive weed for shipment to outside
packing points.
So far as we can learn, little or prac-
ticaIly no buying has been done, but
there is an undercurrent of feeling that
the local and outside handlers of goods
will soon commence new purchasing
movement.
One of his neighbors tells the Censor
that Clarence Olson, five miles north
west of ViroGua, recently delivered his
crop, which brought him the snug sum
of 50, 500. He sold for 40 and Zoe. =

EDGERTON. w 49,. Jan. III, 1919
There is some riding in the growing
districts by representatives of the
smaller packers and few transactions
effected at from 25 cents down the
scale, but so far there is such wide
difference between their offerings and
the value which the growers place on
their tobacco, that no general move
msnt is under way. A meeting of rep
resentative tobacco growers of Dane
county was held in Madison Saturday
at which committee of two from each
township was named to call meetings
in their localities to gain the sentiment
of farmers as to prices to be asked and
the disposal of their crop and report at
at another meeting in that city Jan.
18.
The report reaches us that receiving
of the early purchases in Vernon coun-
ty has been halted temporarily because
of the large percentage of rubbish and
high case leaf found in crops attempted
to be delivered. Packers insist that S5
to 40 cent tobacco must come to them
clean. Doubtless reasonable conces-
sions will be made in settlements.
The opening of warehouses for han
ding the new crop began this week at
number of packing centers where the
labor forces are being organized for a
long seasons work.
The market for old leaf both locally
and in eastern centers remains dull.
The shipments out of storage reach
l6Ocs and cars of bundles from this
market TO all points since last report.

New England.
SPRiNGrELD, MASS, Dec. %, 191

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. %, 1918.
A majority of New England tobacco
growers will say s'Merry Christmas"
indifferently. The 1918 crop proved all
that the grower expected as regards
quantity and rather better than seemed
possible as regards quality, but fully
half of the growers still have their to-
baeco. Some of them who thought
they had sold their crops last summer
find difficulty in prevailing upon the
packer to accept deliveries. No con-
tracts have been repudiated so far as
your correspondent knows, but one ex-
cuse or another is offered for not TAX
ing over the tobacco.
The warehouses are slowly gaining
headWay, and the attitude of warehouse
labor has changed materially since
Thanksgiving. With the munition fac
tories dropping thousands of employees,
considerable good help is available, and
it is apparent that warehouse wages
will go no higher, even though they do
not rerede Immediately. The trade is
resigned to the fact that the current
crop will be an expensive one to handle
from the standpoint of labor costs, but
next fall is expected TO tell different
story.
The arbitrary attitude of tobacco
workers is one of the reasons why some

BAN AGAINST BEER
ILLEGAL, SAYSRO0T

Belief that the Volstead prohibitioa
enforcement bill as passed by the
House win be declared unconstitu.
ticnal was expressed by Elihu Root
yesterday in a letter to the United
States Brewers Association.
Despite his opinion. which was sup
ported by Attorneys William ID. Gutb
RE and William L Marbury. the Sen
ate Judiciary subcommittee yesterday
decided to report out the enforcement
bill with practically the same pro
visions as the House passed The
wording, however. will be changed.
Root declared that as a number Oi
experts have already proven that 2.n
beer is not intoxicating. and as the
wartime prohibition does not pro
hibit the manufacture and sale Of
Misunderstanding liquors. the proposed
enactment, extending the prohibition
10 Misunderstanding liquors, would be
in our opinion, unconstitutional and
Void.''
The United States District Court
OF Appeals" he said, "for the Second
Circuit, have held that the proper
construction Of the act is that 1t pro-
hibits only intoxicating malt or
vinous liquors, and does not, there
fore, prohibit Notwithstanding beer.
The proposed new legislation would
extend these prohibitions in the ex-
listing act to Notwithstanding beer
(which Root CONSTITUTES as 2.75 beer)
and thus make prohibited and unlaE.
full what is not forbidden in and By
the existing law"
Until the Eighteenth Amendment

"The Supreme Court of the United
States by repeated decisions has set
tied this proposition beyond further
controversy, and it is equally set
tied beyond controversy that the Ma
tIonal Government can exercise ne
general police power" he stated.
The opinion, an exhaustive docu-
ment dealing with all legal phases Of
the question, was sent to Christian y.

Association.
