The Opposition In Florida Ha Taken Organized Shape Other Wash ington News Items. Special to the Tilksam. Washington, Dec. 28 The proposed legislation of congress, removing the duty from sugar, tobacco and tropi cal fruits from Cuba and Porto Rico is causing much anxiety on the part of southern agriculturists. Numerous protests have been received in Wash ington from individual sources by the congressmen representing southern constituencies. These protests come principally from Florida fruit growers, who claim that if the pro posed legislation is enacted that itwlll cause the ruin of the Florida fruit business. The protests come, however, also from tobacco grower,- sugar planters and others, and have not been confined to the gulf states alone. Tobaccb growers in North and South Carolina are also protesting against the passage of snoh a bill. In Florida, and other gulf states, the movement against the proposed legislation has taken more ef an or ganized shape, and in these states, es pecially in Florida, conventions are to be held for the purpose of organ ising immediately for an earnest cam paign"against the passage of the pro Dosed bill.
