Tobacco Men Await

Promised Today
Growers Threaten to Keen
Markets Closed Until

By the Associated Press.

y! the Associated Press.
The Once of Price Administra-
ton puzzled over the price of fiue-
cured tobacco today, confronted by
threats of closed markets in five
States unless ceilings are raised.
Tobacco men from Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina
Georgia and Florida insist they can't
make ends meet with 1914 ceiling
prices announced last week. They
want q 2-cent increase.
OPA, promising an answer late
today, was sympathetic but frankly
perplexed. Deputy Administrator
James F. Brownlee said he was
concerned over contentious that
farmers needed higher prices to
make profit, but there are other
aspects that must be reconciled.
For example T. S. johnson, direc-
tor OF the Raleigh IN. c. district
ONCE, said the cost OF cigarets is
involved. The 1874 ceilings OF SO
cents on loose, ungraded leaf and
1871 cents on graded and tied to-
bacco, he recalled, were fixed in
order to avoid, if possible, an in
crease IN the retail price of Gig
Iarets.
Thirty representatives Of farmers
and warehousemen were unmoved
by this argument. They said 4 T.
cent increase for them would not
justify any raise in retail prices be-
cause it takes only a pound Of to-
bacco to produce II packs Of Gig
arets.
The controversy was aired at q
conference here yesterday and OPA
told the adamant tobacco men
there would be an answer in a
hours" That, the producers fix-
ured, meant 6 pm. today.
The tobacco men said they are
prepared to press their tight If thu
answer Is no.

Democrat, of North Carolina made
a similar forecast.
Meanwhile others from the area
said the fight would be continued
If 1t takes all summer. They said
they had imitless statistics to bacl
up their demands and that Gov.
ernors Of the States were ready te

Meanwhile tobacco warehouses
