(CP)-- in southwestern On- Directors of the Ontario flue- cured tobacco marketing board meet here today to discuss the conference they had Friday with Premier Frost and Agriculture Minister Goodfellow. Monday theyll return to To- ronto for another talk with the premier and his minister. Observers say it may mean government action to market last year's 150,000,000 - pound crop, less than five per cent of which has been sold. BALK AT BUYING Growers are becoming restive as the tobacco companies balk at buying and the marketing board refuses to change its new system of marketing by auction. Mr. Goodfellow has said it "looks like a sit-down strike" on the part of buyers and warned: "We certainly aren't going to stand (idly by while crops rot in the barn." The tobacco board, in its first year of operation after winning a mandate from growers last spring, is running into increasing pressure to scrap its auction sys- tem. The scheme features elec- tronic bidding for government- graded bales in three board warehouses, under the protection of a recently-arbitrated minimum average price of 45 cents a pound.
