TOBACCO RAISERS
DECIDE TO REDUCE
CROP BY 0NE-HALF
Danyille Farmers Adopt
Resolution Urged
By Leaders.

DANvILLE, Jan. THE DanviIle
Tobacco Association met this after
noon and adopted a resolution in
dorsing the proposed reduction in
the acreage Of tobacco bS at least
one-half during the coming season
At todsy's meeting data was given
on the tobacco situation, this com
piled by the Tobacco Association Of
the United States, Virginia branch
with headquarters in Richmond. The
whole tenor OF advice given was that
the present rate OF over-production
is what is really hurting the plant
ers Of not only the producers Of
bright tobacco but the hurley crop
as well. The crop Of bright tobacco
in 1918 amounted 10 46O, 900, OOO
pounds. The 1918 crop total was
40, 10000 and the 1920 crop in the
face Of statistics just compiled will
measure out TO nearly 6OO,OOO.OOO
pounds.
The explanation of the low prices
is that in 1918 a large part Of the
crop was seized at almost any price
to NIL the demand Of the smies and
navieS OF the allied governments and
the surplus Of the 1919 crop was
taken up by the manufacturers who
guessed badly as 70 their future
wants. The scale Of prices set in
the effort to MI foreign government
orders was higher than had ever
been known before. The reduction
in England recently in the consump-
tion Of bright tobacco has been
marked and the condition Of foreign
exchange and the chaotic financial
conditions in Europe have caused
virtual cessation OF shipments
In addition to this, better exchange
rates from Turkey, Greece, Java and
other European tobacco centers have
been patroniEed in preference TO
America. A so per cent reduction ln
acreage Is urged by the Tobacco A.

DC. COAL PRICE
PROBE PROMISED
Calder Declares Evidence on
Anthracite Will Be Taken
By Senate Body.

Retail coal prices in the District
OF Columbia will be investigated
next week by the Senate Committee
on Reconstruction and Production.
The announcement was made in
Congress yesterday by Senator CAL
der OF New York, chairman of the
committee, in reply to a query by
Senator Smoot.
Il notice that the committee on
recopstruction finds that a profit Of
Sc a ton has been made on coal
sold to the government" he said.
Has any investigation been made
of the situation in the District,
where anthracite is sold at $3.50 a
ton?"
Senator Calder replied that the
investigation so far had pertaiDed
to bituminous coal, and no evidence
had been taken as to the conditions
in Washington, which related to
anthracite, but that this would be
done next week, arrangements for
which were already in progress.
I'VE shall be glad to have Sem
ator Smoot give us any informa-
tion he may possess" added Sem
ator Calder.
Testimony recently given before
the committee indicated that large
profits had been made on coal, espe-
cially that sold to the government.
Senator Calder informed the Sem
ate that evidence as to prices paid
for coal by the War Department had
been turned over to the Department
Of Justice.

WITNESSES URGE
PATENTS DIVISION
OF GOVERNMENT
"Joker" Section in Inven-
ti0n Laws Attacked Be-
fore Committee,

Manufacturers and additional pat
attorneys were heard by the SEN
ate and House conferees on the
Nolan bill yesterday, and the ses-
sions were concluded pending the
submission of several suggestions
for changes in the bill. When the
conferees meet again next week
the suggestions will be acted upon
and the final report made to Con-
gress.
Attorneys Speak.
w. D. Shoemaker and John BOYLE,
jr" patent attorneys, were among
those speaking yesterday. Both
urged establishment of a division
of government inventions for the
direct handling Of all new busi-
ness, and plan Of rewards to slim
ulate interest of beginners and
greater activity. They favored Sec
tcn providing that the Federal
Trade Commission have charge of
the patent business of employees and
former employees Of the government,
and the creation by this commission
OF the division of government in
Ventions. Section 8, called the Joker
by many, was attacked again yes
terday by some Of the speakers, as
being inimicA to the best interests
OF the patents bar, which had the
interest OF the public at heart, and
injurious to business in exposing
employees Of the patent ONCE to the
temptation of employees, who have
access to the inventions OF private
individuals or firms.
Eayor Profecffon
Senator Norris. chairman OF the
joint committee. said he favored
stronger protection for poor In
Ventors than the bill seems TO pro-
vide, and invited suggestions as to
what changes could be made in this
behalf. He believed there was
some truth in the charges that un-
scrupulous patent attorneys take ad-
vantage OF creduIous inventors,
many of whom have ideas without
merit and should be discouraged
rather than SHARED by advertising
or promises that have no hope Of
fulfllment.
Section of the bill gives the
Patent Commissioner the right to
pass upon the moral qualifications
Of patent lawyers. and this sec
tion has been attacked by many
as placing the Patent Commissioner,
a political appointee of the Secre-
tary of the Interior. in a position
to use his office automatically. since
the only appeal of disbarred attor-
neys provided in the amended bill
ia TO the Secretary Of the Interior,
who may be a friend OF the Com
missioner. To provide recourse to
the courts is the demand of many
attorneys who have been heard by
the conferees, and the question OF
Strengthening out this section so that
access may he given to the courts
will be considered before the final
report is made.
