TOBACCO SMOKE is TESTED
Scientists Make Experiments to Dis

Cigars and Cigarettes

Nicotine has always been regarded

In order to determine the amount Of

methods Of consuming tobacco some
interesting experiments were conduct
ed recently by some scientists abroad.
Long glass tubes, in one end of
which the cigar, cigarette and pipe are
inserted, the other end being connected
with an exhaust pump, are used in the
test. The nicotine is absorbed In filter
paper. These tests showed conclusive
ly. that cigarette smoke contained the
least amount of nicotine. For example,
Virginia cigarettes, containing 1.40 per

Egyptian cigarettes. with only 1.74

HARD SAYS SOF |
COAL FIGHT
LOOMS
Desperate Struggle in Spring
Would Follow Anthracite
Miners Defeat.
By WILLIAM HARD.

The grand strategy Of the an
thracite situation was unrolled
before Washington today with re-
ports from the bituminous coal
fields regarding a prospective and
anticipated great struggle in those
fields between operators and
miners next spring.
What John L. Lewis is now
doing on behalf of the United
Mine Workers in the anthracite
region is part Of a war game
which embraces the bituminous
fields also and which includes the
following suddenly disclosed pos
sibility:
Bigger Struggle Looms.
Unless Mr.. Lewis now gets the
'check-off" in the anthracite re-
gion, he may encounter a militant
effort by bituminous operators to
take it away from him in the btu
minous fields next spring and sum-
mer in the course Of a struggle
which may make an anthracite
strike look like a petty skirmish.
A most experienced Washing
tonian. whose duties have kept him
in touch with labor matters and
particularly with coal labor matters
for many years and who has per-
sonally known the inside workings
of every important labor develop
ment in this country during this
century. said today to this writer:
John Lewis knows that next
spring he will have to face one OF the
biggest fights of his life to hold his
own and to retain the gains of his
union in bituminous territory. He
knows-that is-that among the
bituminous operators there is a
strong disposition and determination
to pay him back for his grinding
victory over them which he won
in 1922;
sure way by which he can avoid
that fight and by which he can
drive the bituminous operators into
being afraid to start it.
"Check-Off" Vital Issue.
"Fhat way is to win the check
off or to make some other great
corresponding gain in the anthracite
region.
with solid new strength in the
anthracite region, the bituminous
operators will sign up with him
next spring without a whimper.
IF he gets defeated in the an
thracite region, a large number of
bituminous operators will see their
chance next spring to take ad-
