erly has no effect, because tho law Is
mundatory. Internal Commissioner
Wilson says that his ofllco would like
to permit holders of tho Pennsylvania
cigars to stamp them properly and to
retain the stocks which thoy have
had, but under tho law that cannot be
done.
The retailers will of course have a
