Washington, May 12. Senator Thom as H. Payntcr today made an appeal for the 1, 4)0, 000 people who depend upon tobacco growing for a livelihood arid who, he assented, are now at the mercy of the tobacco trust. "The tobacco combination Is a com mercial pirate," declared the Kentucky senator, asserting that this statement could he proven by the known facts. Payntcr told of t lie condition of the growers In the dark and light tobacco regions of Kentucky and Tennessee and described the events that led up to the '"night ridiiiR" terrors. 'Hie growers say that the trust di vided the districts into sections, plac ing a buyer in each section. The mar ket was' controlled and each grower was told that he would have to sell to the buyer in his particular section. The buyer explained ttiat the market was flooded and that there was tremendous over-production, so that the trust could not afford to pay what the growers con sidered a "living price." The result was that the growers became miserably poor in many sections and were unable to obtain enough for their crops to pay the bare cost of their extremely sim ple existence, Responsible for Hlgfhtrldera. This condition led to the formation of the Growers' Protective association, by which the tobacco was held in pool and money borrowed .on it to pay the living expenses of the growers until the price went up. The growers who were "bought over" by the trust and refused tn enter the pools were subjected to nlghtrlder attacks. Their warehouses were blown up with dynamite or burned, and in many instances bodily punish ment was inflicted. iy Homing me lunili CO ill HIP jtinn It was shown there had been no over production, as the price Immediately went tijvjau the fight of the growers was hard and they underwent great hardships. I'aynter contended that even yet they were at the mercy of the "tobacco pi rates" and that the trnvern mrnt eould nt afford to disregard the appeal of these l.f.OO.000 people for aid and re lief, lie urged that the growers lie given the privilege to sell their prod uct in the natural leaf to the dealers, who. In turn, would be. granted the right to sell it to the consumers without the laymen t of tax. If this condition existed, the Kentucky fnninr said, it would ho impossible for the irust to control the markets and I rices and the tobacco growers would have the same opportunities now of fered tne growers of grain or other farm or plantiition products.
