INQUIRY CLEARS
TOBACCO FIRMS
Trade Commission Finds No
Evidence of Illegal
Combines.

Evidence of Illegal agreements, COM
binations or conspiracies was not
found by the Federal Trade Commits
sion between the American Tobacco
Co. and the Imperial Tobacco Co. in
the buying and selling of tobacco dur
ing it's inquiry made at the request of
the Senate.
\ report made public by the com
mission late yesterday said no evil
dence had been obtained indicating
that the Supreme Court decree in 49,
prohibiting the employment Of com
mon agents in the purchase of leaf
tobacco in the United States, was be-
ing violated.
Other finds of the commission were
that an analysis did not substantiate
the charge that the two companies
had paid discriminatory prices for di-
vided or split crop lots of leaf tobacco
and that the charge that the Imperial
Tobacco Co. had indirectly promoted
tobacco culture in Georgia was with
out foundation. 1t did not appear, the
report said, that the difficulties of the
organized tobacco growers in Virginia
North Carolina and South Carolina
were due to oppressive hostility by
the American and Imperial companies.
