22. Whenever any dispute shall arise concerning the correctness of any
sample furnished by the inspector of tobacco under the seal of the State,
or of any grade fixed by the Tobacco Graders, said controversy shall be
referred to a committee of arbitration consisting of three persons to be
selected as follows: one thereof shall be selected by the inspector with the
approval of the Governor, one thereof shall be selected by the claimant
or claimants or his or their agents, and the two thus selected shall select
the remaining member of said committee; provided, however, that no
person shall be so selected, or if selected shall be competent to serve as a
member of any committee of arbitration who shall have a direct or indi-
rect interest in the tobacco in controversy.

23. The said committee of arbitration when duly constituted and ap-
pointed shall fully examine and investigate all the facts concerning the
subject in controversy before them, and to that end they shall have power
to send for persons and papers, to compel the attendance of witnesses,
to administer oaths, and to examine witnesses on oath; they shall deter-
mine all questions which may be submitted to them by a majority vote,
and shall assess whatever damages, if any, they may adjudge due by rea-
son of any false or erroneous inspection, and from their finding or award
there shall be no appeal; all damages shall be assessed upon the basis of
the market value of the particular grade of tobacco on the date of the recla-
mation; and no claims on tobacco shipped either to any point in the United
States or to any foreign country, shall be considered or allowed after the
expiration of nine months from the date of its inspection. Claims against
the warehouses for unsound or damaged tobacco shall be arbitrated as here-
inabove provided in connection with other claims, but no such claims shall
be considered or allowed after the expiration of six months from the date
of the inspection of such tobacco; provided, however, that no damages
shall be allowed if the inspection label has a notation stating the contents
of the hogshead are unsound.

27. It shall be the duty of the inspector to confine the sample of each
hogshead of tobacco inspected, by tying them together with a strong tape
run through the head of said sample in such manner as shall be most
likely to prevent the bundles from separating or being pulled out, and shall
fasten on said sample a pasteboard label on which shall be written the
marks and number of the hogshead, the date of inspection, and the name
or number of the warehouse, Grader's Certificate showing grade, condition,
(with space for remarks) and signature of grader, and shall seal said
tapes and label with sealing wax, and shall stamp it with the seal of the
