open for 24 hours highlighted statement on tobac co industry problems made this week by Marketing Board Chair man it Gregory Speaking on the price fluctua tions that have existed in past buying seasons Mr Gregory raid that one large buyer has stated he will agreoto hold open price otters for 24 hours if others will similarly cooperate eel certain that the other buyers will cooperate in large measu even ii they may not go all the way 9n the other hand there are other suggestions which are to be considered am rea sonably confident that some sat lstactory solution to this dltlicult matter will be found Gregory stated The chairman said board meeting would be held to deal with problems concerning the as sociation after three grower dir ector vacancies are tilled Lists Problems His statement listed several matters meritlng attentioni 0n grading and tying he said that while an increase in the pay ment for grading may be ordered he felt certain that the price for lying will be increased He felt buyer rcquiring tobacco tied would have to increase the price in order tomaintain competitive position with buyers requiring only that tobacco be graded and packed untied On the report of the Restrictive Trade Practices Commlssion he said that when the report came to hand Justice Minister Garsnn ex pressed the opinion the board would bring its activities within legal requirements in the opin ion oi the board counsel this had been done by repeal 01 section of bylaw 49 He said the board would con tinue its light to lowbr the tax on cigarettes now almost 18 cents on pack of 20 An appeal for tax relief has been made six times by the board and twiccreduc tions havc been granted He said committee of the board had met short time ago with federal and provincial labor oiticials and pointed out the ex treme lpbor shortage in the to bacco district especially during harvest He said thatJabor oiii cials realized the mistake of last year when rclicl was granted too little and too late and appeared to be in coopcrative mood Each grower may have permit to im port tour workers in addition to curer this year lteturn Disappointing Although the minimum average price set by the Marketinngoard or the 1956 crop was 45 cents per pound he stated the entire crop averaged 4649 cents per pound lJnlortunately the crop fell short in weight and on this account the dollar return per acre was dis pointing When we consider the improv cd outlook lor Canadnn tobacco in both the domestic and export markets unhcsitatingly predict an increased dollar per acre re turn for the 1957 crop and sat islactory market proyided that wc are favored with good grow ing season Gregory said The Marketing Board is on sound ground legally according to Mr Gregory who said the bylaws of the association provide that the boardishallbe made up of seven buyer members and seven grower members The chair man may or may not be an elected directory The buyers however have agreed that thecbalrman should be chosen from thegrow er members It therefore foll owsthat there may be seven dir ectors rcpiesenting buyers and seyen directors representinggrow ers making an equal division Thechairman is to bea grower and in case of anequal division of thevoting he is toghave the deciding two yea beenol little importance since arly all ordcr have been passed either una ouslysorby asuh at are 4er There are thosewho contend should be no buyé the board or in anycae that buy iebreaking vote should be much fewer in number than thcgrower directors In reality what dittcreuce does it male was is in the majority since all important matters such as the negotiation otithc minimum aver age price must bedccided not by maiorlty but unanimously by Committee three buyer and three grower members This tag should dispel thetehargc that the bolrd is controlled by the buy ers in my optnlonit will be an unlortunate day tor the tobacco grower whenever there is Iobac no board of only growermembcrs who would have to of necessity negotiate with buyers only once year to consider price Gregory said Looking ahead the chairman said Canadian consumption at fluecured tobacco is steadily in creasing in tact consumption so iar in 1957 is well above 1056 which showed healthy increase over 1955 Canadian stocks are considerably below normal the export demand appears particu iarly bright surplus stocks in the United States are largely unsultv able for export since that tobacco is made up mostly of thin neutral lcat which does not appeal to the overseas manuiacturer The United States crop will be cut in acreage this year at least 30 per centand in addition to that the increasing popularltyol the tiller tip cigarette has caused tobacco of export quality to sell much higher than formerly recent article in Tobacco leading to bacco journalin the United States expresses the tear that the Uni losing the export market Gregory said the board has served growers well in the past and does not propose to rest on its laurels It is well aware of the problems of the grower e53 pcclally the increased cost of pro duction Our greatest asset is goodwill goodwill of both buyer and grower which we hope to maintain
