DESCRIBE FIGHT MADE ON CO-OPS Tobacco Farmers Bear Witne** To Mothodii t ! »ed by Two Kite Companion ¥ ■- Methods; used by' the. imperial To bacco Company ami the American To bacco Company in their efforia t break up the organization of tobacco farmers in ihree Sates Tor marketing their tobacco were dis closed here this week in the form 01 written evidence a*ul affidavits by those in charge of presenting t lie case) ■of tht- Tobacco Growers Cooperative! Association to the Federal Triple Com-j mission. Many of the wi'ten statements of tobacco farmers'of Virginia, Non.i' Carolina, and" South Carolina which were, made public this week, strongly' substantiate the claim of tht tobaccoj association thai the-big British eom-i pany and the" AHL'l'R'uii Tobueen +Tmr-j --pany are intentionally, lnyci'tting 1, tobacco of the Virginia-Carolina far mers who have organized for eooperii-j tive marketing. Case after case revealed by the statements of farmers show that buy ers of these companies have discourag ed growers from joining the tobacco association or. have p"rxuad>-d Mem bers t! break their cuntiac by -openly * boasting tha' their concerns would not purchase from the association. An even more effeotive method of preventing delivery of tobacco to the marketing BRRpciation by T-« mem bers', according to th.' testimony %»- cured by the association in anticipn tiori of the investigation of these two; companes by the Federal 'l'rade Coil)-! mission, has been the .temp' ing of ai- 1 sociation members by offering them, prices higher than the values placed upon' c'erTainTJl'Siles''"of"tobaccir by tfie association and paying them prices for such tobacco, which were far a bove" the current values received by non-members upon the aucion floors.] An example of the evidence given by hundred." of farmers' from varifius -■ sections of 'lie bright tobacco belt is j the testimony of a members from! Councils, North Carolina, who declares! ir his statement that he has seen many piles »f split tobacco sold at warehouses at WhitevSlle and. Clark ton, North Carolina, ami that thjs split tobacco brought about 40 |*-r cent more than other tobacco of similar vrade, but not split or divided between a member and non-mimber of the as sociation. Most of this split tobacco| was .bought by tJie Imperial buyer, ac cording to this witness. Just how this p'ructice has been car ried out is described in 'he testimony of a member from kenbridge, Va., as! follows: "In'tl* winter of 192 V lie brought a loud of tobacco raised b\ a tenant to 1 Kenbridge. His half, was delivered to! the association; the - tenant's half was! carried to the auction warehouse. The highest bid offered on one pile of the tenant's crop was ?3t>.00 per 1» '0 He J refused to accept the bid. Mr. I/ove, bu-yer for the Imperial, asked him what he was going to do with the to buoco—He told Mr. Love that, tlijj t; bacco belonged to a tenant of his 1 who - was not a member of the association, and that unl«*- he got $47 per.loo| 'for the tobacco he was going to dr j liver it 4o •-s>#- associatitin Mr, Ixive marked tin* pile of tobficco $47.00 per 100 and placed on it the grade of Nassefs Saturday Specials •p '* * / • .

How co-op tobucco was doubled by an Imperial buyer in the Souj.li Caro lina belt is told in the following evi dence by a South Carolina member who states that in 1922 he was going | through Fairmont North Carolina, and | stopped al..a.ti...um?tion sale at L)ow'» i Warehouse. While at this warehouse he saw a pile of tobacco sell for s2o,j and as the crowd was leaving he heard | -the warehouseman call out "Mr. Im perial," and as the gantleman ad iliesseii came back the warehouseman I said "Thai pih; of tobacco is split to ! bacco and just sold for $20.00," where-] I upon Mr. Imperial said "Give him! | »4p,00,'-^ami- said pile wai; ~reHfltri~Bt4- j $40.00.
