Carrying- Out Of The
Rules of The Code
Wilson, July 25.?The ware rouse
men of Eastern North Carolina met
in the auditorium of the Charles L.
Coon High School this morning and
neard Mr. J. C. Lanier, National Ad
ministrator of the Warehouse Code
of Amercia explain the code, and the
warehousemen agreed to support it
and abide by it and work with him
for its observance.
There were more than 250 ware
housemen present, and a most inter
esting meeting was held. After Mr.
Lanier had rinished with the ware
house code he then explained the
Kerr-Smith Marketing Act. During
his talk he was asked many questions
and very carefully, intelligently ex
plained all of these, and gave the
reasons why the government wanted
cnese things done.
Mr. W. Fenner, of Rocky Mourn,
and a number of other prominent
warehousemen in the district, asked
questions and made explanations.
Mr. Fenner is chairman of the Code
administration for the tobacco area,
and which is represented by ten code
administrators, and he is the chair
man of the group.
Mr. Fenner stated that during his
attendance on the code meetings m
Washington that it was clear to him
that unless the warehousemen of the
country gave the farmers of the
country the very best and most eco
nomical method of selling tobacco
that the auction system would pass
out of existence, and it was the very
fair and satisfactory method employ
ed in Eastern North Carolina which
saved the day, and that the system
here was patterned 3fter by the rest
of the country.
Mr. Fenner mentioned a number
of abuses obtaining on other markets
of the world. For instance in Ken
lucky he noted that a small farmer
had little chance to sell his tobacco
unless there was plenty of room on
the warehouse floors, when the big
farmer was given precedence over
others. They also put two farmers'
tobacco together when their floors j
were crowded, and the average of the
sale of the tobacco, regradless of the
quality, governed.
Resolutions were introduced and
carried unanimously, to the effect
that hiring trucks to haul tobacco
directly or indirectly would not be
tolerated, and no one could employ
more people to work for them than
were required in the warehouse, and
a list of all employes must be sub
mitted to Mr. Lanier on the opening
day of the warehouses, so that if
he thought there was any one who
through any subterfuge was seeking
to avoid operating under the code
they would be dealt with.
The meeting was presided over J?
Mr. J. C. Eagles, of the TobaJsl
Warehouse Association of Eastern
Carolina. Mr.. Eagles welcomed the
members of the Association to Wil
son, stated the purpose of the meet- [
ing, and presented Mr. Lanier. At--,
tencion was called to the trouble re
garding the trucking of tobacco and
all the subterfuges which are resorted
to by warehousemen to increase the
amount of tobacco coming to their
warehouses through subtle contacts
made with those who own trucks, and
every warehouseman said that he
would live up to the agreement, and
the vote was unanimous. Each ware
houseman present agreed to stand
by the code, which Mr. Lanier said
was for the purpose of making in
dustry self regulating, and to do
away with unsound practices, and
enable it to give the farmer a square
deal and to make a profit forxthem
selves. m ,
To increase buying power, to in
crease wages, and to do away with
unsound and unfair practices is the
purpose of all the codes that have
been promulgated, for industry, Mr.
Lanier explained.
Mr. Fenner stated that every ware
houseman knew what is right and
what is wrong. Each one knew as
many times as the trucking matter
has been discussed in our meetings
what a warehouseman has a right to
do and what he has nnt got the right
to da r
Mr. Lanier promised to nee that
the code was enforced if he had the
backing of the members. He also
told them that his office is already
open in Greenville, where he will re
j difference between a contract farmer
; who had agreed to ahide by the gov
| ernment order with reference to the
[amount of tobacco planted and sold
in order to govern the supply and
j the non-contract fanner who did not
comply with the government order.
The warehouseman must collect
the tax. When a fanner comes in
to sell his tobacco he will be con
fronted by three men. One is the
j bookkeeper for the warehouse who
figures up the amount coining to the
farmer for his tobacco. If he is a
contract farmer the tweaty-five# per
cent tax is added to the cost of sell
ing his weed, and his allotment card
which the fanner must have . with
him and which is numbered is affiled'
to the bill. Twenty-five per cenfr
of the value of the first sale of his
tobacco is taken from it. Stamps
are affixed to the certificate by a
representative of the agricultural de?
partment, and the check is written
out and handed to him by the repre
sentative of the international reve
nue department In that way a com
plete record of the transaction is
made. The contract fanner is given
his check in full less his .warehouse
charges, but the non-cntnract farmer
has his twenty-five per cent deducted
from his account, then and there. All
tobacco must pay. the tax,-"but a way
is provided for the contract farmer
to deposit his in certificates which
are kept by the ajarehouse as an evi
dence that the farmer has paid his
tax.
It was suggested that mass meetr
ings be held in every township so
that the Farm demonstration agents
could explain the. details of these
transactions to the farmers.

| turns
Washington, July 26.?Prospect of
better prices for flue-cured tobacco
I this season was seen today by J. B.
j Hutson, chief of the farm administra
tion's tobacco section.
Hutson spoke to an enthusiastic
crowd Thursday at the 113 annual
tobacco station field day at Oxford,
and outlined the reasons why he be
lieves the growers may look for bet
ter returns.
He cited what he said was an iu
] dicated smaller crop, a relatively
higher price level, improved relation
ships between supply and consump
tion and prospects of a controlled'
crop and further reductions of sup
plies in 1935.
''The July 1st estimate of the crops
reporting board placed this season's
indicated flue-cured crop at 526,743,
000 pounds,' Hutson said. 'This is as
much below annual world consump
tion as last year's crop was above.
.Reduced acreage, brought about thru
the voluntary co-operation of thou
sands of farmers who signed acreage
adjustment contracts, is expected to
contribute largely to the flue-cured
supply."
"Although bothdomestic and for
eign stocks of flue-cured tobacco are
higher than a year ago, the crop is
enough below that of 1933 to cause
a- decrease of approximately 120,000,
000 pounds, or 8^ per cent, in the
supply. In addition, domestic con
sumption is estimated to be * some
what above that of the previous year,
while the decline in foreign consump
tion appears to have been checked in
some importat consuming countries.
Since world consumption for 1933-34
I shows no change from that of the
I previous year, the ratio, of supplies,
I to prices, have been considerably re
I duced."

Gambler Hid Dil

1
Reported To Have Pro
vided Shelter and Med
ical Care When
Wounded
Chicago, July 25.?A "master
mind" charted the murderous course
of John Dillinger and took a large
part of the loot seized in the out
law's reign, it' was disclosed today.
The brains behind Dillinger was iden
tified only as "Fish" Johnson, a Chi
cago gambler. At one time, Federal
men said, Johnson collected $53,000
in., bonds from Dillinger. The "mas
ter mind" provided Dillinger with .in
formation, arranged hideouts for him
and served as a "fence" to dispose
of the gang's booty. Once, it was
reported, when Dillinger was laid up
for 12 days with-gunshot wounds the
gambler provided him with a- hide
out and medical attention.
In the room of Mrs. Anna Sage,
John Dillinger's "woman in Red,"
police said today, they found a mys- ?
terious locked wooden chest, which
they believed might have been Dil
linger's, and may contain some of
the $750,000 itt bank robbery loot the
gang amassed. Keys fonnd on the
desporado's body will be tried on the
chest
From the "girl in red" police
learned today more about how John
Dillinger walked into.the trap that
ended with death his career of crime. ,
The "girl jn red," one of two wom
en who were with the Indiana outlaw ?
just before he was killed by . Federal
bullets, was Mrs. Anna Sage, fprty
two, brown-haired and brown-eyed.
Police arrested her last night at her
home, just around the corner from
the Biograpth Theatre, out of which
Dillinger. walked unsuspectingly Sun
day night to his death.
Two women tenants -of a basement
flat were taken into custody today
by a police squad under Capt. John
Stege. on a tip that the flat had been
a hide-out of John Dillinger.
One of the women was Frances
(Patsy) Frechette, twenty-eight, sis
ter of Evelyn Frechette, the slain
desporado's former sweetheart, now
serving sentence for harboring the
bandit. The other was Margaret Ed
wards, thirty. - ?
Mrs Sage told police she knew
John Dillinger as "Jim Lawrence." j
And . that he poped as an employe
of the Chicago Board of Trade.

Talking Tobabco With
The Tobacco Farmers '?
(By Ben Kilgore)
A flood of letters from tobacco
fanners has poured into the Tobacco
Section of the AAA since the pas
sage of the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act.
Since this far-reaching and pioneer
ing measure appears to be upper
most in your minds right now, I'd
like to give you my ideas on some of
its important provisions. You can
disagree, if you like. This is a
friendly personal visit and not an
official lecture.
Human nature forgoes to the front
in most of these letters. Non-co
operating tobacco farmers are seek
ing'1 a loop-hole to escape the tax and
are asking that their case be made
an exception. A great many of these
are doomed to disappointment Ifi
they ^can secure an equitable base
under thf reduction contract, the law j
clearly states they will not be allot
ted tax-payment warrants, unless
they sign a contract. Large growers,
especially, who wish to escape pay
ment of the tax, should .take advant
age of the extension of time to sign
a reduction contract. The final day
is July 28 or thirty days from the
signing of the bill by President
Roosevelt
This seems fair enough to me. I
see no logical reason why large or
small growers who can qualify for
an equitable base, should fare better
than cooperating growers, who have
reduced acreage and have made high
er prices possible. In my opinion
these growers should sign up or
should take their medicine without
complaining.
Every effort will be made to take
care of .small growers who, through
circumstances beyond their control,
were unable to qualify for an equita
ble base, under the reduction pro
gram, This is. right and is the hu
man thing to do. After all, the
"New Deal" stresses human values
and the greatest good to the largest
numbers. ? .
-Contracting growers will receive,
without applying-for them, tax-pay
ment warrants to cover their pound
age allotment under their contracts.
Additional allotments, up to six per
cent of those/ issued to contracting,
growers, will be issued to non-con^
tracting growers, whonot quaM
ify for a fair allotment. Non-qjH
tracting growers?tepanja or loH
owners?should make application .^KhN
mediately for these tax-payment*
warrants to their county agent or
their county tobacco committee. Two
thirds of the warrants to non-con
tract signers shall be to small grow
ers, whose allotments are .1500 poOnds
pr-less. The balance can go to small
growers, ralso, if the county tobacco
committees so recommend. i
If I understand the temper of
tobacco committeemen aright, they're
going to lean toward: the small grow
er. I believe they should- These al
lotments to non-contract signers are
to iron out individual injustices that
are. bound to occur in eny broad pro
gram to help" an industry embracing
400,000 tobacco growers. Nonrcon
tract signers receiving tax-payment
warrants will be required to operate
in line with the spirit of the adjust
ment'iwogram and they will not re
ceive rental or benefit paynietns, .
Non-contract signers and those
failing to fall in the six percent, will
pay a tax of 25 percent of the sales
price of their tobacco grown in 1984.
Whether they like it or not, it must
be paid. The majority of cooperat
ing growers asked for the Act. Con
gress granted their request. Tobac
co committeemen, representing con
tracting growers, will largely pay
to whom the "free allotments" shall
go. I'm glad cooperating tobacco
farmers had the gumption to demahd
that they be protected from the non
cooperating minority,, who always
In the past the minority has "<Hc
:'J?8
r? ? ? ? ? ? ?
tated" to the majority. Under the 1
present plan majority rule will pre- 1
vail.
A few request for cancellation of
contracts are being returned to" grow
ers for reconsideration in view of
the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act. In
addition to loss of future payment
and a return of payments already
made, cancelled contracts mean a tax
of 25 percent on the sales value of
the 1934 crop instead of exemption
on the cooperatoris allotment. Grow
ers cancelling contracts cannot re
ceive tax payment warrants under
the 6 percent qjlotment.

Market fact of

Asserts Agreement
Wouldn't Help Farm
er; Says That Short
Crop Places Growers
In "Flattering Posi
tion"
Washington, July 25.?Represent
ing themselves as having the inter
est of the tobacco grower at heart,
representatives of eight large do
mestic manufacturers, through their
spokesman, S. Clay Williams of the
Reynolds Company in Winston
Salem, yesterday turned thumbs
down on any kind of marketing
agreement for the 1934 flue-cured
:rop.
After an all-day discussion be
nind closed doors, the conference
between tobacco buyers and Agri
Eultural Adjustment Administra
tion officials came to an end with
the manufacturers declining to heed
the suggestion of J. R. Hutson, chief
of the tobacco section, that a mar
keting agreement would assure a
more orderly marketing of this
year's crop and would benefit the
grower.
Williams, in a formal statement,
ivhich he said represented the sen
timent of the buyers present, stat
ed that a marketing agreement
vould be of no benefit to the farm
jr. He took the position that the
jhort crop and the "flattering po
sition,, which flue-cured tobacco will
occupy when the market opens will
:ause it to bring more than any
price which could be written into
marketing agreement.
Since discussion yesterday was
oehind closed doors, it is impos-sible
o report just what transpired but
?ertainly the announced results indi
:ate "walked out" on the AAA.
Hutson declined to comment last
light on what further steps, if any,
le would take. It is understood
hat he is conferring with high of
icials in the AAA and answer to
Villi anms' statement may be re
eased today. Certainly, the con
ference was a disappointment to
he AAA and may be the beginning
>f a heated fight between the ad
ninistration and the tobacco com
lanies.
Chester Davis, chief AAA admin
strator, only last week stated at
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's
?ress conference that negotiations
vere under way with buyers and
here would be another marketing
igreement for this year's flue-cured
obacco. ~
"We know of no reason at this
tage to assume that there will be
my need for a marketing agree
nent to bring the farmer a parity
irice f6r his tobacco," Williams de
lared in his statement
His friends here are glad to learn
hat Fred Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Jones, who has been receiving
reatment in Park View Hospital,
tocky Mount, is now rapidly im
?roving, and returned to his home

today to have been shot ?*nd seriously
wounded in the course of a Nazi
"putsch" to capture the government
of Austria.
The police officer said Dollfusshas

As the Nazis made a violent bid
for power they were reported to have
captured Dollfuss and members of
his cabinet.
Fighters swarming through streets
of Vienna were killed, and the
trouble was reported to have spread
as far as Insburck and Klenfurt.
In the latter city President Wilhelm
Miklas was said to have been cap

Dollfuss and his ministers were
trapped in the federal chancellory.

Tobacco Growers Of
This State Allotted
Amounts Under Kerr
Act
Under allotments by the Keer
Smith tobacco control act, North "Car
olina growers can market 356,173,853
pounds of the weed this year without : ?
tax, E. Y. Floyd, extension specialist
at N. C. State College, has recently
announced. . ;?
The Kerr-Smith act imposes a tax
of 25 per cent of the market value
of sales in excess of the allotted
amount. However, under the act,
growers who signed contracts will be
permitted to sell tax free the amount
of tobacco they grow under govern-;
ment contract.
The amount allotted by contract,
Floyd said, was considered 94 per
cent of the Kerr-Smith allotments
The additional six per cent was pro
vided for distribution among non
signers and signers whose production
is less than 1,500 pounds per year. J
Under the act, the following pound
ages have been allotted to the differ
ent counties as the six. per cent which
will be divided among non-signers
and small signers. - -
