In 1910 the question is sure to be

the New Deal&get the credit for de-

If, before Congress revolted, the

CONFERENCE OUTGROWTH

Washington, Aug. 9.-(AP)-Mer
who grow and sell the South's flue-
cured tobacco and men who buy the
yellow cigarette leaf gathered today
for a conference table discussion OF
the 1899 price situation.
The conference was arranged by
the Agriculture Department at the
request of grower representatives,
who met here last week to see what
could be done for prices for this
years record crop. Unsatisfactory
opening prices on the Georgia mar
kets prompted the call.
J. E. Thigpen, of the AAA tobac-
co section, said the main questions
were how large a crop the buyers
could take next year at satisfac-
tory price to the growers and how
some of this years production could
be held off the market. Grower re-
presentatives have suggested that
some of the poorer grades be with
held from auction floors.

no notice whatever from Reynolds
or any of his staff that the senator
had decided to go elsewhere.
All of which leaves Mr.. Fink much
up in the air and at loose end for
somebody to substitute. Tuesday
morning the federation president
said he knew cit is fact' that Rey-
nolds headed for Europe, but added
that he had received no notice what
soever from Reynolds or his office
that Buncombe Bob wouldn't be
present in Raleigh next Monday.
And SO it appears that Reynolds
is quite likely to lose some of the
esteem in which he has been held
by the labor forces, an esteem which
led to his being invited to be a
convention speaker and which got
his picture on the, front page of ss'The
North Carolina Federationist" organ
of the State labor group, together
with laudatory notice on the in
side of the cover which bore his
likeness. Then again, it may not lose
him anything, for he doubtless has
some plausible excuse for breaking
the. speaking date.
But whether Reynolds appears or
does not appear, gains or loses sup
port in the labor ranks, there is

The federal TONS membership is as
large as ever before in its history,
and it's officials have announcer in
not-to-be overlooked terms that the
unionists are going into the political
arena in North Carolina on a scale
never previously attempted. The idea
is to work unitedly for men and
measures favorable to labor and to
fight fiercely those who have op-
posed the federation's objective.
There are no prominent political
candidates-apparent on the list Of
speakers, but there are such billings
at Introduction of international

ers there are several aspirantss with

There swill be a lot of politics
