TOBACCO GROWERS

NO. 235 FOR REASON
Members Of Association Appear
Before Agricultural Commit

Interest Of Their Several Bills
Meet The Governor
DELEGATION AIMS TO
DEFEAT PURPOSE

On Thursday March 11th. the mem
bers of the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association came to Annapolis in
force. TO defend their several Bills
pending before the House and Senate.
They were granted joint hearing be-
fore the Agricultural Committees Of
the House and Senate
1t was originally intended that the
hearings would take place in one of the
Committee rooms, but Notwithstanding
short notice and bad roads, it was APP
parent long before the hour set for the
hearing, three o'clock p. NJ, that no
Committee room in the Capitol would
be large enough to accommodate the
Association members Senator Mish,
Chairman of the Agricultural Commit
tee of the Senate. then made arrange
ments for the use of the Senate Cham
ber, which was filled to the limit of its
capacity, every available seat. as well
as all standing room, being occupied.
The principal Bill under discussion
before this Committee was the Associa-
tions Senate Bill 231, which would, by
definite Act of the Legislature author
ize the tobacco growers to occupy
rooms in the State Tobacco Warehouse
One point which made the hearing of
particular interest was the report to
the effect that the commission men had
employed an attorney to represent
them in defending the Legislation of
the Association. particularly the Bill
referred to above.
The Association made its case per
fectly clear, and at the conclusion
there was apparently no question in
the minds of the members of the Com
mittee as to the justice of its case.
This was evidenced by the unanimous
vote of the Committee to favorably re-
port the Bills before the adjournment
of the hearing.
After the hearing, the Tobacco Grow
ers' were invited to meet in Governor
Ritchie's reception room, and were
given a very pleasing talk by the Gov
ernor, who assured them that he was
thoroughly in sympathy with their
aims, and that he would cooperate with
them in every way possible.
Yesterday, the 10th of March, the
Commission men, headed by their al
torney, were here appealing to the
Southern Maryland delegates and sena-
tors. and particularly to the Baltimore
delegation, to defeat the legislation of
the Maryland Tobacco Growers. Asso-
