New York Oct. 22 The United States circuit court of appeals cleared the American Tobacco Company of charges of violating anti trust laws by refusing to sell to wholesalers, who supplied retailers at prices below legitimate profit. The decision, in March 1922 proceedings involving the Wholesale Tobacco and Cigar Dealers' association of Philadelphia and the P.
