a SS COMMISSION ER. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1944 ee More Days in Washington : After the refusal of the O. P. A. on Wednesday, July, h to grant any relief to the tobacco growers, the dele-. a ution from the five tobacco states in Washington took mmediate action to make a. final, supreme effort. We immediately. contacted the Governors and as iy of the Senators as we could om such short. notice. arranged to have another meeting on Saturday, July, 29th, when as many Governors and Senators as we could gobly get to Washington, would be present. - The delegation believed that, if the eovernment othe. s doubted the testimony of Commissioners of Agricul- , Congressmen, farm organization leaders and farmers had presented the case on Monday, surely they would <2 the ecatrpouy of-Governors and United States Sena- : oe Friday, J ay 28th, Gaveniior and Senator- Sieot sin D.

Administra-_ tion and Commodity Credit Corporation in Washington. This meeting had been arranged as an outgrowth oh. the tobacco meeting in Columbia, South Carolina on Sat- = urday, July 15. The specific purpose of this hearing was to ask ae OPA to cancel its order rolling back prices on Georgia andl Florida tobacco 2e a pound from last year. | lionorable John Gibson, Congressman from. the~ seh District, and a member of the Special Tobacco Committee of Congress, was on hand. Mr. Gibson very ably led the fight from. the floor to obtain relief for tobacco growers from the unfair and Ta peHine put upon them by the : OPA this year. : xe Mr. Gibson is very active in all matters relating to agriculture and is doing henor to himself and his District in the record he is making j in the House of Representatives. .. Mr. H. L. Wingate; President of the Georgia Farm Bureau, as Chairman of the Committee epee at. Co- lumbia, presided at the hearing. Mr. Wingate received the highest commendalin frais those present for the very able manner in which he pre- sided and for the able presentation of the farmers case to ap TOBACCO HOLIDAY ee On Friday, July 21, Governor Ellis Arnall issued eo proclamation declaring a tobacco: holiday for the week of July 24 to July 29. ae The action of Uarbkcor Arnall was ratified by the Governors of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, each of whom issued proclamations i in support of the tobacco holiday. In accordance with these proclamations, when we aps peared in Washington on Monday, July 24, the tobaceo warehouses were closed. : Our delegation in Washington therefore presented its Case, beginning with a resolution signed by all members of the delegation in Washington.

Unless the pledge is recognized in fixing prices on tobacco as well as all other farm products, the farmers will have to know that, this pledge -was made in a spirit of gross insincerity. Our delegates were presented to Mr. J. B. Hutson, President of Commodity Credit Corpo- ~ yation, Mr. E. F. Ragland, Chief of the Tobacco Section of OPA, and Mr. Jim Brownlee, also of OPA. After offering as evidence the petition sign- ed by all members of the delegation we present- ed facts showing that a year ago the OPA con- sidered 41 per pound a fair ceiling price on Georgia and Florida urttied tobacco. We showed that on account of bad weather conditions existing through the tobacco belt this _ year a great deal more labor had been required than is normally required. : We showed that a large percentage of farm- ers had to reset tobacco-from one to three. times. We showed the increased cost of producing this years crop of tobaceo by reason of increased prices of supplies of all kinds which the farmers must buy. : We showed that according to the report of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States. Department of Agriculture farm wages throughout the nation have increased 20 per cent since last year. We showed that in the bright flue-cured tobacco belt the cost of labor has inereased from 50 to-100 per cent since last year. We showed that the production, harvesting and euring of this years crop of tobacco has cost more money than any tobacco crop in history. We showed from official figures that the net profits of the four big cigarette manufacturing companies have increased by leaps and bounds. The net income of these cigarette manufacturers MARKET BULLETIN: | 24th, AE Wednesday, August. , manufacturers have been working on the same price level that they are now working. We showed that the farmer who produced cigarette tobacco is only receiving 2 1-4c for the tobacco in a package of cigarettes for which a consumer pays 16 to 20e per package. We showed that in September, 1943, after last years Georgia and Florida tobacco crops were sold, the OPA granted an increase in price to the manufacturers of all economy brands of cigarettes amounting to .78 of a eent on each package of cigarettes. THE CHICAGO PLEDGE TO FARMERS ONLY APPLIES IN DOUBTFUL STATES We showed that according to the Govern- ments own statistics in past years it has cost more to produce bright flue-cured tobacco than it cost to produce Burley tobacco. _ We showed that during past years the bright flue-cured tobaceo has brought more money on the market than Burley tobacco. - We showed that in 1943 OPA set a ceiling price on Georgia and Florida untied tobacco of 41c. Later, the growers of tied tobacco in the Carolinas and Virginia went to Washington and asked a raise in the ceiling price of tied tobacco. The OPA, with the cynicism of a Pharaoh order- ing the children of Israel to make brick without straw, simply rolled back the ceiling price on Georgia and Florida tobacco which had already been sold and forced the growers of Virginia and the Carolinas to sell their tied tobacco under the 41 ceiling. The OPAs explanation was that they in- tended for the 41c to be the ceiling on both tied and untied tobacco. The OPA elaimed that they expected tobacco buyers to observe the differ- entials between tied and untied tobacco. Lets see if the OPA was sincere in this, or. if it was just a question of what states in which the tobacco was produced. They refused any re- lief to the tied tobacco growers of the Carolinas and Virginia on bright flue-cured tobacco, but the OPA permitted Burley tobacco, most of which is produced in Kentucky (a doubtful state) to sell at 45c instead of 44. - After refusing any relief to the bright flue- cured belt of the solid South, the OPA put a top ceNing price on Burley tobacco in Maryland {a doubtful state) of 62e per pound. When we confronted Mr. Ragland, Mr. Brownlee and Mr. Hutson with these facts, they claimed that they were going to roll prices back this year in Kentucky and Maryland. w= tucky are not sold the same year they are_pro- i 3 I 4 = duced. This years crops of tobacco in Kentucky and Maryland will begin to go to market in Jan- uary (after the election). DELAYED ANNOUNCEMENT OF CEILING PRICES The last Congress enacted a law which re- quires the OPA to announce a ceiling price on eee crops fifteen days before planting ime. While that law does not apply to this years tobacco crop, still the OPA should have observed the spirit of that law so far_as practical with this years crops. Instead the OPA promised to announee the price for tobacco on June Ist. Actually it was determined about June 3rd, but no announcement was made, Then, the OPA promised to announce the ceiling on July Ist, but they failed and refused to do this, : Then, the OPA promised to make the an- nouncement on July 10, but they failed and re- fused to do this, Not until the afternoon of July 19, when the Convention was in session in Chicago, did the OPA announce any ceiling price on the tobacco which would begin to move to market on July __ ANNOUNCEMENT OF CEILINGS IN KENTUCKY AND MARYLAND WILL ALSO : BE DELAYED It is perfectly clear that OPA will not cut back the eeiling prices on Kentucky and Mary- has increased almost 100 per cent since these | (Continued ii on Page Three) |}red and purple iris, 40c iri Mrs. John Weaver.

On Wednesday, July 26, forty-eight hours Mr. Hutson, Mr. Ragland and a Mr. Sol met with us. To the amazement of every member of the egation they brought what they said was a yposal from Mr. Fred Vinson, National Eeo- mic Stabilizer, which was unbelievable in its ininity. : When they had read this proposal the first nment was by a farmer from North Carolina follows: The mountain has labored and uught forth a mouse, but the mouse is so little t you eant see it. Mr. Wingate, the Chairman of the delega- ion, stated that, The proposal simply Xdded Ol nfusion to dissatisfaction. Unanimously, and with one accord, the dele- ation rejected the proposal. I am reproducing erewith the proposal as submitted to us for information: vy OPOSED AMENDMENT TO TOBACCO : a deo eae REGULATION nt Eaanty of ited flue-cured tobacco at ees low enough to comply with the untied iling of 39 cents per pound for flue-cured to- cco because of the offering of better grades tobacco at the beginning of the marketing eason and abnormal grade price differentials d such weighted average purchase price for ied flue-cured tobacco does not exceed the untied ceiling by more than 1 cent per pound, uch buyer may comply with these regulations _ purchasing tied flue-cured tobacco at prices ufficiently below the tied flue-cured tobacco eiling price of 43.5 cents per pound to com- yensate for the purchase of untied flue-cured obacco in excess of the untied ceiling price up o 1 cent per pound, or in the event such eighted average price for untied flue-cured bacco is less than 39 cents per pound, each yer may purchase tied flue-cured tobacco ufficiently above the tied flue-cured tobacco eiling price of 43.5 cents per pound to com- ensate for the purchase of untied flue-cured obacco below the untied ceiling price up to 1 mt per pound and comply with these regu- A casual reading of the above shows that it - nothing except to make optional with the ers whether or not they would pay a little we for Georgia tobacco and take it out of Car- ma tobacco, or whether they would give the orgia farmer less for his tobacco and make it n the Carolinas.

Respectfully call your attention to fact that more than ninety per cent of last years crop in Florida and Georgia markets was sold under forty-one cent ceiling and cost of production this season appreciably increased over last Stop Pres- ent ruling amounts to decided roll-back despite heavier cost production Stop Flor- ida growers who are almost all independ- ent farmers and not tenants feel they are being treated unfairly and are imsisting markets be kept closed until price ceiling adjusted End Quote Am also sending tele- grams. to Governors Johnston and Brough- -GRAIN AND HAY | FOR SALE = MISCELLANEOUS FOR SALE ton care of you which ro will liver to them. s SPESSARD E H Governor of Fi 0 Winder, Ga., Ji HON.

Valdosta, Ga., July 26. - Piss WINGATE, Hotel Raleigh, Washington: D. C. We extend our appreciation and com- mend you for the noble fight you have made in behalf of the tobacco growers. We consider the decision of Vinson and OPA most unreasonable and unfair to the producer. This bitter discouragement to, producers will not be forgotten and is not in order if farmers are to be urged to ex- ert every effort to produce regardless of other handicaps. We urge you to continue and to exert every effort. We want to see _ the markets open, but we cannot conceive of any earthly reason why we should not have the same ceiling price granted this year that was considered a fair and just ceiling price by OPA at the beginning of last years market.

A. and the War Food Ad- ninistration. ae = This left the Governors, Senators and Con- gressmen as far from being heard as they were to begin with. 2 Mr. Vinson simply told them they would ave to apply to the O. P. A. In other words, Mr. Vinson could not be bothered with Gover- nors and United States Senators. They would ave to be content to present their case further down the ladder. a | - his treatment of Southern Governors and Senators simply illustrates the contempt with which the people of the South are treated. _ This is a burning example of what happens o a free people when they allow their govern- ment to be taken out. of thef own hands. It hows what will happen when the peoples busi- ess is not in the hands of men who are elected the people. oe If these Bureaucrats were compelled to go efore the people for election or before the Unit- d States Senate to get their jobs, they would never dare treat the Governors and Senators rom sovereign states as they did on last Satur- day. - TO THE O. P. A. AGAIN WE GO _ A conference was arranged Saturday after- noon with the representatives of the O. P. O. In the course of time and after waiting for an hour, these gentlemen appeared and the Gov- ernors and Senators proceeded again to present our case, rgument, which was most able. _ . Senator George was followed by Governor oughton of North Carolina, Governor Olin Johnson of South Carolina and Lieutenant- vernor Tuck of Virginia. : The O. P. A. had issued an order rolling ack the price of Georgia and Florida tobaceo per pound. The ceiling on Georgia and Flor- ida tobacco had been eut from 416 in 1943 to 39 | 1944. The O. P. A. contended that this was necessary in order to avoid raising the price f cigarettes to the consumer. fact that in October, 1942, Congress had enacted a revenue measure which imposed an additional 25c per thousand on cigarettes. This 25c per thousand for cigarettes amounted to 14 of le on each package of Cigarettes. Since the retail dealers in cigarettes could not raise the price 14c per package, the O. P. A. had per- mitted them to raise the price le per package. a This gave the retail desler in cigarettes an ad- ditional profit of 14c per package. This 14c per pacix- age amounts to 25c on one thousand cigarettes. One thousand cigarettes are made from three pounds of raw tobacco. This additional 14c per package was the equivalent of 8c on each pound of the farmers tobacco. Senator George pointed out that it would be possible to raise the price of the farmers tobacco _ 8c per pound without increasing the cost of cigarettes to the consumer one cent. Senator George also called to their attention the xact that in September, 1943, after the Georgia and Florida: crops of tobacco were sold, the O. P. A. granted an increase in price to th anufacturers of economy brands of cigarettes which amounted to .78 of a cent on each package of cigarettes. This raise in the price of cigarettes is equivalent to 24c on 1 _ Following Senator George, the Governors of North and South Carolina and the Lieutenant- Governor of Virginia each made strong argu- ments. ) _ Each and every one of the speakers recited the hardships of tobacco growers. _ They called attention to the fact that a large ercentage of tobaceo is produced by small farm- . 3 _ They called attention to the fact that so Many men have been drafted into the armed forces that many growers are now forced to use mred labor where the work has been done-here- ofore by members of their own families. _ They called attention to the inefficiency of nuch of this inexperienced help.

A. then stated, in effect, that nothing had been presented for them to consider. Mr, Brownlee said that there was no evidence before them that the O. P. A. price eeil- ing of 39 was not an adequate price and that, so far as he was concerned, no change would be Senator George and the Governors then eall- ed attention to the fact that ceiling prices were not floor prices and that farm crops usually do not bring the ceiling prices. g As an illustration, last years tobacco crop in Georgia sold for 38, although the ceiling was 41e. The ceiling fixed on Georgia watermelons is about $490.00 per car, but Georgia watermelons have been selling for merely a fraction of the ceiling price, a : Attention was also ealled to the fact that, at ridiculously low prices, the consumers in Washington and elsewhere in the North are still paying the same prices that they paid for Flor- ida watermelons which netted the farmers $600.00 to $1200.00 per ear. I called the gentlemens attention to the fact that the spread between producers and consum- ers to day is the greatest that it has ever been in the history of this country. Under operation of the O. P. A., there has been a greater increase in spread between pro- ducer and consumer in the last. twenty-four months than in any other comparable period. I also called attention to the following. per- tinent facts. The last Congress enacted a law which re- quires the O. P. A. to take into account increased labor cost in fixing any ceiling on a farm com- modity. a ae oS I called attention to the fact that the Bureau of Agricultural Economies of the United States Department of Agriculture shows an increase in farm labor in 1944 over 1943 of twenty per cent. Attention was called to the fact that the ing ,tobaeco is total cost. It is obvious that if labor increased twenty per cent and labor involved is fifty per cent, then the item of labor alone has increased the cost of this years crop ten per cent above the 1943 crop. I ealled attention to the fact that according to the figures of the government itself, the to- bacco growers were entitled to an increase of ten per cent for their 1944 crop, above the price they were allowed in 1943. I said, If the O. P. A. and the other governmental agencies will not believe their own figures, then they would not believe anything that the farmers could bring before them, even though it were brought by One who rose from the dead. 0. P. A. AGAIN REFUSED RELIEF In spite of all the evidence and the pleading of the Governers of these Southeastern States, in spite of the. eloquence and factual appeal of Senator George, in spite of the offieial records of the government itself, Mr. Brownlee again very coolly stated that nothing had been brought out in the hearing to which they would give con- sideralign: =< : I have been to Washington before; I have been before boards and bureaus in Washington, but in all my experience, I have never seen a stronger case for the farmers presented. Neither have I ever seen so cold-blooded, heartless and ruthless determination to deny any relief what- ever to those who toil in the fields. In all my experience I have never seen Gov- ernors and Senators of sovereign states treated. with such little consideration. Someone in the tobacco delegation remarked that Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North} Carolina and Virginia were in the bag; the strings were tied and they were thrown over in the corner. Maybe that is true. The O. P. A. did not say this in words factions speak louder than words, TOM LINDER, more than fifty per cent of the , but bs Avuilenle to these farm families to live on, | | CORNISH.

C. Gentlemen: : The tobacco growers were so disappoint-- ed with the price ceilings announced on July 20th for the 1944 flue-cured tobacco crop that they have declined to sell unti such time as a satisfactory price program _ has been adopted and have designated committees from each of the five flue- cured tobaeco- producing statesFlorida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and oe: eration with the special committee ap- jointed by the Congress to deal with this problem here today. eo THis, brief was prepared by, the joint. committee and shows the following facts: (1) OPA fixed a 41 cent per pound weight average price on the 1943 tobacco -erop sold loose leaf and at least 95 per cent of the Georgia-Florida crop last year was ure. It is true that, as a gesture to the other _tobacco- growing belts where their crop is tied for sale, the OPA, just a few days prior to the closing of the Georgia-Florida - markets and after the crop had been ale ~ most completely sold, announced a reduct- jon in the weighted average price in loose- eaf tobacco effective from that time on. The only effect of this announcement was to prevent growers in the other states from marketing their tobacco loose-leaf as they were then threatening to do. Production costs have risen sharply since last year 30 that there can be absolutely no justifi- ation for reducing the price on the 1944 crop. Labor alone in Georgia and Florida, for the production and harvesting of the 1944 crop, is practically 100 per cent high- er this year than last year; farmers are s paying as high as $5.00 per day for hands to harvest their tobacco. The net results will be, if the announced ceiling is not restored to 41 cents per pound on loose- ear tobacco, the farmer will actually re- -eive less per pound for the 1944 crop than was received for the last crop, even though she cost of production of the present crop _has greatly increased. es 5(2) The price fixed for tied flue-chred. mitted the Burley growers for tobacco sold, tied, by them during the last mar- outh Carolinato represent them in coop- . marketed under that ceiling price struct- tobacco is less than the average price per- keting season, and is considerably less fan the maximum established for the Mary- land crop. The Burley crop, under OPA _ ceilings, averaged 4514 cents per pound during the last season and the OPA fixed a 62 cent per pound maximum price on the Maryland markets. Historically, flue-cured prices have av- eraged as much or more than Burley prices or the prices prevailing on the Maryland markets. | Actually, there are more costs involved in the curing and handling of flue- cured tobacco than/in the curing and hand- ling of Burley or Maryland tobacco. Flue- cured tobacco. growers, who tie their to- bacco for th market, feel that the adopt- ~ jon of a 4314 cent weighted average ceil- ing for their crop is an unfair discrimina- tion against them. Every reason ysed by the OPA in fixing prices for Burley and Mary- land grown tobaccos, substantially higher than the 4314 cents announced for tied, flue-cured tobacco, will apply to the flue- cured crop. There can be no justification for the establishment of a lower price on oe And Presented To OPA n Official tied flue-cured tobacco than is permitted ers. (3) It is but little short of an insult to the intelligence of the farmers of this Na- _tion to, in the face of the pledge in the _ party platform at Chicago last week, keep prices on farm products at a level which . would insure the farmer an equal hourly . wage with the industrial worker and then, = before: the ink got dry on this promise, an- nounce a ceiling on a very important pro- - duct of the farmer at a level that would not give him 50 per cent of the hourly wage of the average industrial worker, which is one dollar and three mills per the Bees and MATTERS tobacco grow-_ hour. Unless the pledge is recognized in . fixing prices on tobacco as well as all other farm products, the farmers will have to know that this pledge was made in a spirit | of gross. insincerity. (4) The request made by flue- cured . growers for a 41 cent weighted average ceiling price on loose-teaf tobacco and 4514 cents weighted average ceiling price on tied tobacco was a modest request and actually less than they should have re- ceived for the 1944 crop, without any ef- fort or expense by them or those repre- senting them. ' (5) Failure of OPA to act ers in this instance has created a serious problem within the entire industry and is responsi- ble for the chaotic conditions which are now taking place. Had the OPA acted in the spirit of the new law, tobacco growers | could have sought relief. without the ne-- _cessity of such drastic action as delaying the opening of the markets. (6) The tobacco farmer must receive not less than 41 cents for untied tobacco and 4514 cents for tied tobacco as origin- ally requested. We therefore urge that ~ 4 you immediately restore the 41 cents - weighted arereee ceiling on untied tobac- - that you maintain the 41% cent differentie already recognized as necessary to cove extra handling costs for tied tobacco.
