NEW York, June 80, 1921.


1t seems to be a sssafe bet,' says the
ToOacco Leaf, that the majority Of CT
gar leaf merchants are beginning to
look more hopefully into the immediate
future than at any time since the pres
ent stagnation set in. This more cheer
full attitude of the market is due in a
large measure to the greatly increased
volume of inquiries, which by no means
always resulting in actual business, in
,dlcate an interest in raw material stock
which has been absent for an uncom-
fortably long stretch of time.
However, canvass of the market
seems to indicate that the majority of
leaf merchants are in fairly comfort
able frame of mind in spite of the pres
ent sluggishness of the market, which
seems to be explained by che fact that
the market is not overburdened with
good raw material and that the present
available supply is regarded as no more
than sufficient to comfortably take care
of fair volume of production in the
cigar industry. Leaf merchants also
point to the fact that the long contin-
ued dullness has not effected any no.
ticeable recession in the prices of high
grade leaf and continue to express con-
-fidence i'll the ready sale of remaining
stocks as production is resumed Only
on the point of when this resumption is
likely is there any doubt expressed.

LANCASTER. Pa, June 20, 1921
The writer was informed last week
that another packing of the 1920 had
been sold, but for some reason my in
formant declined to give names. The
main point, however, lies in the fact
that somebody wants this tobacco, as
was evidenced by the Bayuk Bros pur-
chase of 1000 cases recently, this in
addition to all they bought last winter
from the growers themselves. There
is no room for doubling that this pack
ing will find ready market, because
filler goods are wanted. And the price
paid was not high for such as has been
sold, ranging from 25 cents for some
sold ea1lier in the season to % and 80
cents. The figure that it will event
ually settle down to will depend largely
on the condition Of the goods after
they come out of the sweat, and on the
amount that can be used for wrappers
and binders.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

EDGERTON, Wis. July 10, 1921.
The rain came in the nick of time to
refresh and boost standing tobacco.
The rainfall last week was more gen.
eral all over the. state than previous
rains have been. though varying in
amount in different sections. Hail fur
ries appeared here and. there, but we
have failed to receive reports of any
extensive damage from this cause in
the tobacco growing areas. Not only
was the rain welcome, but also the
more moderate temperature of the next
three days following. AS soon as the
ground could be worked the growers
were out to cultivate the fields to hin
der crusting of the soil and to develop
the dust blanket eDr the retention of
the moisture stored in the ground. The
earliest tobacco is growing too fast,
but the fields look well, and as things
appear today the later paintings have
the best show of size, if sufficient
moisture can be had.
There is no valuable information to
be given about the 1920 crop move
ment, aside from the timid news seep-
ing in of isolated sales. In the north
ern section some crops were taken last
week by Westby dealers, and in the
southern section some transactions
were made, but neither of nature to
give any new tone to the market.
Those who are doing summer assort-
ing are bulking the heavy type of leaf
and the BIS, while case sweating the
longer sizes. This has proven very
successful method of handling and
rarely produced any damage in the lots
so treated.
Four cars of bundles were received
at this point last week and one shipped
out. Orders for cars for case ship
ments'have been made during the present
week. The new ruling governing load
ing of cars in home line territory, which
went into effect July /, makes it i'm
possible at all times to fill acquisitions
for cars for immediate loading. But
as the shippers become acquainted with
the ruling they will govern their re-
QUESTIONS accordingly in order to avoid
delay.

HARTFORD, CT, June 29, 1921.

HARTFORD, IT., June ~, 1871.
Transplanting operations are now
concluded for the season. The tobacco
has been put into the ground under ad-
verse conditions and an exceptionally
good crop cannot be expected. The
soil has been dry during the planting
time and the plants have not taken
good root. Certain sections of the Val
lev are now extremely dry and rain is
badly needed to bring the crop near
average.
Irrigation has been talked of at some
of the larger plantations. This will not
be general because some are not equip
ped for the purpose. There is no evil
dence of wildfire, menace that threat
ened to raise havoc earlier in the sea-
son.
Growers declare that rain is now i'm
perative to save the crop and if suf-
ficient amount of rain does not fall
within comparatively short time, the
crop will bud out very low and there
will be no body to the leaf at harvest
ing time. IS. A. B.

TO DRILL CITIZENS
Bill in Senate Today Provides
for Summer Camps.
"PIattsburg Idea' May Be Made
Into National Law.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The first
step toward establishment of ma
tion-wide system for military training
of civilians is contained in the army
appropriation bill, under considera-
ton in the senate today. Itssreception
by the house will constitute a test OF
training.
If this section of the bill is re-
tanned, nine civilian training camps
will be opened this summer and viii
represent a new feature of military
policy which will receive its first trial
under the Harding administration.
One million dollars has been appro-
priated for the purpose with the idea
that this sum will maintain ten thou
sand men in the nine camps for pc
Rod of thirty days.
ut is the Plattsburg idea enacted
into law" Senator Wadsworth, chair
man of the military affairs commit
tee. told the United Press today.
IF the plan meets with favor we
hope to increase year by year the
number of men who may be accom-
modated in the camps. Whether it
will lead to a form of universal train
ing will depend upon the manner in
which the public receives the innova-
ton"
One camp will be designated for
each army corps area of the country.
The exact sites have not been deter
mined. Instruction at the camps will
be given by officers Of the regular

luton by Senator Gates, of Seward.
that a commission be appointed to
thresh out the question of who is en-
titled to the water in the Arkansas
river.
The resolution, among the where
as clauses, recites that Colorado has
been hogging the water, and that
there have been innumerable costly
law suits as a result thereof. The
senate would have q commission of
seven members; the governor, the at
torney general, two senators, and the
irrigation commissioners. to settle the
question with Colorado. which has

FederaIS Party to Crimes. r
Indictments Now Part of Plan
to Destroy Unions.
OUTCOME OF FEDERAL CONTROL.
All Agreements Made at Direc-

War Speed Blamed for Charges
Now Preferred.

Washington. Feb. 26-The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor met here today to con-
slider the action of the government in
prosecuting officials of the U. NJ. w. A.
of America for alleged violation of the
Sherman antitrust act.
Before the meeting began, William
Green, secretary of the miners union
and one of those indicted yesterday at
Indianapolis, issued a formal state
ment, declaring that if the union Off
Gals were guilty of conspiracy. the
government itself is party thereto"
because the miners had been subject
TO government regulation and control
for the last three years.
Blow at All Unions.
Matthew VOL, vice president of the
American federation of labor. declared
the Indictment of the mine union Of
ficers was a part of the nation wide
propaganda to destroy the trades union
movement 'as the action struck at
the very foundation of the principles
Of collective bargaining"
Mr.. Green said all agreements made
with coal operators by the union, Of
ficers were made under the direction
and with the approval of the federal
fuel administration.
production was speeded up during
the war under the impetus of the gov
eminent" he said, increases in wages
Were made under the direction of the
fuel administration and the selling
price of coal was fixed by it. In a
way it regulated wages and when an
increase was granted it stipulated
what increase in selling price should
take place in order to absorb an in
crease in wages.
Indictments for Reward.
These indictments seem to be the
reward the miners are receiving for
putting forth the special efforts dur
q ing the war in order to increase pro-
ductiCn.
'The bituminous coal commission,
in its award. set forth the following:
We hope that there will be a decline
in the cost of living in the next two
years. but we realize that the miners
have borne an increase above their
advance of wages and consider the
possible future decline in living costs
as an offset for these losses
This is proof that the miners
wages did not keep pace with the in
crease in the cost of living during the
war"

LEGISLATURE IN


Continued from rage One.J
the job, lifting a bill from the lower
deck to the reading clerks desk is
man sized job. 1t requires unanimous
consent to perform this feat. And
with an energetic and watchful cal
endar committee sitting around, such
consent is difficult to secure.
To Push Appropriation Bills.
Appropriation bills will be rushed
thru the mill as rapidly as possible
The two houses are not working mar
noniously in the matter of spending
money. There is an almost daily wall
of woe from the house when it hears
of some reckless extravaganza by the
senate. And the senate turns up its
nose and wiggles its fingers and says
the house is an old stingy cat. So
most of the big appropriations will
probably end in the conference room.
where referees and padded gloves
may later be needed.
The house has fixed March as the
date when consideration of all bills
should cease. 1t is probable the sem
ate will amend the resolution. Both
houses tho. are expected to stop hard
