Miss Blake testified that for two and

Conspiracy Charged
In Tobacco Industry
Senate Committee Reports
That Secret Rebates Have
Been Uncovered by Inves-
tagation.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Three of the
principal tobacco manufacturing COM
panies-the American Tobacco company,
the P. Lorillard company and the Liggett
& Myers Tobacco company-were. charged
with engaging in a conspiracy with nu-
merous jobbers' associations to keep up
jobbers prices in a committee report
transmitted today to the senate.
The commissions report covered tobac-
CO trade activities from April to Novem-
ber, 1921. Since last September, the re-
port stated, the jobbers' agreement be-
came less effective through weakening in
the support of the American Tobacco
company, owing to the fact that the COM
missions field Inquiries were on foot.
Secret rebates were uncovered, the re
port added, stating:
1.-THE inquiry incidentally developed the
fact that during recent years one large
tobacco manufacturer-the American To-
bacco company-has given to favored
jobber customers secret bonuses or re-
bates, in round amounts. ranging from a
few hundred dollars to several thousands
of dollars at a time. These payments
have usually been made semi-annually,
and recipients have regarded them as
secret and confidential"
There is at present a large supply Of
| leaf tobacco, resulting chiefly from de-
crease in the quantity used for domestic
products and for export, the report de-
clared, adding that prices paid to grow
| ers for leaf by "the court successor COM
papies above referred to" show large de-
| creases in 1920, as compared with 1919.
| In this connection the commission "ur-
gently renewed its recommendations
| that the department of justice prohibit
companies from using common buying
agencies or buying in other than their
own names. Reviewing organization of
| growers, the report said that the 1922
| hurley crop would be handled co-opera-
| lively. In the meantime, it was said that
the prices charged by manufacturers re-
mained practically constant at the high
| levels attained in 1919.
"At the 5ime of the inquiry the 1921
hurley market was not yet open" the
commission said; for that part of the
bright southern crop of North Carolinq
and Virginia, sold in September and Oc-
i tober 1921. the prices were somewhat
higher than for the 1920 crop, though
still far below the 1919 prices How.
ever, no comparison is satisfactory until
all the crop has been sold. In South
Carolina prices for the entire 1921 croI
averaged S11. which is about ne same a.
the 1913 nrice in that state and abou
half the 1920 price,

DOLLAR" AS a Substitute
For Gold Capital 81, ,4OO,-
100000.

New York. Jan. 1s.-A bank of ma
tions, with the United States as major
lty stockholder, an International trade
dollar" as stitute for %old, and
conduct of wort4 Einess on a credit
instead of cash basis, were advocated
by United States Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, in an address today before
the American Manufacturers Export
Association here.
Senator Hitchcock discussed a bill
which he has introduced in the senate
providing for establishing such a bank
of nations, with $2,400, 600 900 capital
The United States, he said, would hold
Sl,300,O00,O00 of the stock and bankers,
importers and exporters of this country
another 5000, 900, 900. leaving the re-
naming 100000 900 to be purchased by
the leading nations of the world through
the president
The United States. by virtue of its
stock holdings, would choose IS of the
banks "a directors. Headquarters
would be at New York. The directors
would have power to issue currency to
! be known as the interna tional dollar,
which would eliminate the continual
| SAiipiieHt vi SOlu between countries, ~
cording to Senator Hitchcocks plan.
Asserting that credit represents the
| difference between the vast business en-.
| terprise of civilized man and the insig-
nifcant operations of primitive man,
Senator Hitchcock told the association
that the practical collapse of nationa
commerce is due to the fact that nations
are trying to do business for cash"
Nations, within their own boundaries
i conduct nine-tenths of their business OF
credits, the senator said5 adding that i
the United States or any otner natio1
| suddenly was compelled to do bushes.
for cash there would be an enormou:
! shrinkage of business. Business be
tween this country and Europe has bee1
slashed in half in single year, he as
serted, because America demands cast
on delivery and Europe cannot pay.
Speaking of the enormous amount 0
gold now in United States banks Sena
tor Hitchcock said:
I'VE ought to use it as a basis 70
| currency and seize this opportunity t.
make the International dollar the none,
of the world. the medium of exchang
between countries. If We do not do thi
our gatherirg of all the gold here in tn
| United Stf\ is worse than folly. l
would be aI-lost an international crime
We are playing dog in the manger witt

very much more than we are using"
