Popularity Of Cigars
On Wane, Demand
For 'Fags' Shows

The interesting tend ency
among women to smoke and the
tending away from cigars and
toward the cigarette" by men,
is causing a diminution in the
acreage planted to cigar-type
tobacco, the Department of
Agriculture announced today.
During the war the cigarette
demand increased greatly and
has continued growing since the
armistice," the Department
says. Producers of the cigar
type crop are accommodating
themselves gradually to the
changing demand, but not quite
so rapidly as conditions justify.
Stocks of cigar Tobacco have ac-
cuinulated and have been util-
lied to some extent in the
manufacture of other products. :"
The estimated acreage of
cigar-type tobacco for 1925 is
10000, which is 10000 acres
less than in 1923.

hope OF an eleventh.hour resumption
Of negotiations between the anthra
cite miners and operators, which

than tomorrow. The order vii

Even those who were most 40
tive in attempts to bring ths
operators and miners together and
prevent a strike, today were any
thing but optimistic over the re
suits Of the mo strike parley here
which was attended by Lewis.
1t was brought out at the confer
ence that the attitude OF both the
miners and operators Is the same
as when wage negotiations were
broken off at Atlantic City severa
weeks ago.
Lewis said the miners were ready
to 20 into conference with the
operators committee again, pro
vided the operators withdraw Their
statement that they would reject
all demands that would result in
higher production costs.
On the other hand, the operators
were represented as clinging to the
stand that nothing could be con
sldered In arriving at az new wage
scale that would tend to increase
the cost Of production
Major w. w. Inglis, spokesman
for the operators, from his home al
Scranton, after hearing Lewis pro
posals said:
Our attitude toward the demands
of the mine workers is unchanged
We did not break off the neg0tia
tons and we still insist that we
can not agree to anything in ths
new contract that will increase ouI
costs, because that woult
mean increasing the price of Goa
