add to cart   close window

The Research and Planning Division of the National Recovery Administration has begun its investigation of the tobacco industry, and will probably finish its work well in advance of June 16, when the present cigarette code is due to be revised or replaced. The U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt directed this investigation when he signed the code, much of which he found unsatisfactory. Tobacco labor attributes this unsatisfactory code chiefly to the influence of S. Clay Williams, former president of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., probably the strongest of the Big Four concerns dominating the tobacco industry.
