10 WAR UPON TOBACED DECLARED FALLRE Merchants’ Convention Here Told “Intolerants™ Lack Support of the Pubiic. Anti-tobacco legislation is no longer a subject of much concern either to the tobacco industry or to the tobacco- consuming public, Jesse L. Bloch, president of the Tobacco Merchants Association of the United States, de- clared today in subifting his annual | report to the fourth national conven- | tion, in session at the New Willard| Hotel. “While habitual intolerants and pro- fesslonal ‘antis’ are till agitating and always perhaps will continue to agl- tate against tobacco, as well as agal other things which contribute to man’s solace, comfort and enjoyment of life,” asserted Mr. Bloch, “the occureances in the last few years have clearly demon: strated that they are not taken serlous ly, and that public sentiment is over- whelmingly against the restrictions they advocate.” Of seven States which have had anti-tobacco laws, he pointed out, all hut one have repealed them and in Kansas, the only State that now has| “uch legislation, a repeal bill was de- | feated by a narrow margin.

Tor the first time in the 10 years of existence of the organization | the industry is free from uncertainty as to its future declared former As sistant District Attorney Charles Dushkind of New York, counsel for the organization, in calling the con-| vention to order. State Tax a Menace. The outstanding problem of the day. developed by the convention, is Stafe taxation, which, it was stated, is becoming a menace to the _em\re to- bacco industry. Bills providing for State taxes on the sale of tobacco products have been introduced in 23 State Legislatures since January last although 3 States were they passed. At the same time, it was i are much higher than before the war on sigars having been increased over 100 per cent. A reduction in the tax | would resuit in either better quality for the same money or in lower) prices, delegates declared. The convention was welcomed to Washington by Maj. J. Franklin Bell, ¥ngineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia. Most of the day was de- | voted to meetings of the various branches. A number of prominent Government officials and others will address the delegates at their annual dinner to be held at the New Willard Hotel to night. DAVIS LAUDS INDUSTRY.
