A CONFERENCE.
WINE GROWERS ISSUE A MANIFESTO. ANARCHISTS BLAMED. THE POSITION~OF THE SMALL MEN. (Received April 15, 9.10 a.m.) PARIS, 14th April. Senators and Deputies of the Marne Department conferred with the Winegrowers' Federation. The latter then issued a manifesto attributing the vyorst incidents of the rioting to Anarchists ; also to the incitations of a cyclist, who falsely represented himself to be an emissary of the federation. The committee's manifesto appeals to the vine-dressers to await the coming solution of the trouble. It is understood the vines nave been considerably affected by blight, this foreshadowing a poor vintage this year. The smaller winegrowere in the Department of Marne are suffering from a series oi bad harvests. Their estates are heavily mortgaged. They sell their products to big firms enjoying a reputation for selling genuine Marne champagne. Hence they are of one mind with the latter and the cellarmen in supporting area delimittetion, and violently protesting against the abrogation or revision of the present conditions.
