amount subscribed by the International
Union OF New York was only sufficient %

Secretary Canning Gays this misunder-
standing is due TO the fact that the cigar
makers who wished TO come 10 California
had c0nfOunded President Wolf with the
agent Of the Cigarmakers Association.
This latter association is composed 0r
proprietors Of San Francisco cigar factoJ
ries. They sent an agent East on their
own account 10 procure white cigar
makers so as TO be independent Of the
