OIGAR-MAKERS AND OLOAK-MAKERS
A PROBABLE RESULT OF THE LOCKOUT.
THE INTERNATIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE UNIONS
LIKELY TO CONSOLIDATE.

THE INTERNATIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE UNIONS
LIKELY TO CONSOLIDATE.
The position of affairs as between the cigar man
ufacturers and the Progressive Union has not ma
ter tally changed. Both sides appear to be confident
of ultimate success and there is little talk of
concessions. A large number of locked-out men
have found other situations. The large shops IN
the city are S.n taking aod ID tbsys de
mand from out of town for cigar-mak:
ers. Altogether, about 700 men have secured
places during the present week, and 1t IS antici-
pated that more will find places before long. At
the different shop meetings held yesterday and at
the Office of the Progressive Union the principal
work was the paying out OF me dement's 70 whien
contributions 10 the strike fund from those mem-
bers who are not out are coming in steadily and
that aid has also been received from outside organ
izations
One result of the lockout may be the bringing
together of the Progressive and International
Unions The jealousies between these two organ
izatons were the cause of the lockout. and It
not anticipated that the two would work IN
unison. 1t was said that at a meeting of
the officers of the International Union,
however the matter discussed and the conclu,
sion reached that If the manufacturers should
win in this fight against the Progressive Union.
they would all proba bili,y continue also TO crush
the International Union. 10 was thought, there
FORE that 1t would be good idea to assist the Pro,
gressive Union in this struggle. The International
men think. too, that should the manufacturers be
successful there would be reduction Of wages, and
the members of both unions would be worse OIL
than they are at present.
There will be a concert at Jones's Woods on
August by a number Of German singing societies
for the benefit of the locked-out employees
meeting attended by about 900 members OF the
last night. The report that there was a movement
on foot toward cooperating with the Pro-
gresssve Union was denie had 1des
of uniting with the Progressive Union to defeat
themselves. He thinks that the lockout will end
within the NEXT ten days There o was or t6s PO

hear reports from the different shops. The reports
all indicate determination to hold out until the
end
