CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Nearly 200 men
stood around the headquarters of the
Cigarmakers' Union to-day, discussing the
deception of which they are the victims.
About two weeks ago a man named Wolf,
president of the Cigarmakers' Union OF
San Francisco, arrived here on his way
East for the purpose of securing cigar
makers TO go to that city. Wolf repre-
sented to the fraternity and press that the
cigar manufacturers of the Pacific coast
had decided to unite in a systematic OPP
position to the Chinese. He stated that
the Chinese had become powerful com
petitors Of white manufacturers. as well
as monopoliEers of labor and OF trade.
The poorer ones had begun buying leaf
tobacco Of the dealers. This was made
into cigars which were given in payment
for the material. The surplus of man
ufactured goods remaining in their pos
session after the leaf tobacco was paid for,
gave them a nice profit. This surplus
they sold cheaper than the manufacturers
could afford. In addition to tenement
house cigarmakers, the Chinese were
working into business in a wholesale way,
and the manufacturers had been brought
to a realization of the necessity Of pooling
their issues with the white cigarmaLers.
Wolf 8 purpose in coming East, was. as
he said, to visit Chicago, New York, Bos-
ton, Louisville and other manufacturing
cities where he could obtain men to go
to California. He represented that per
manent employment would be given to
$500 men, at larger wages than Eastern
scales. Saturday he left the Eastern sea-
board with about IFS men and this morn
ing the party arrived in Chicago.
The representations Wolf had made in
this city caused many cigarmakers here
to decide to go t California. Nearly
200 men had made arrangements
to JOIN the party. Many Of them were
married. These sold their household
effects and made all necessary arrange
ments to move West. Wolf had stated
he could get their tickets for $50. When
he arrived here this morning the men
were surprised TO find that be had lees
than 200. They were still further u
prised when he cody informed them that
he needed only IT'S men. A lively time
ensued, and Wolf was told in vigorous
English the opinion entertained of his
conduct. He finally decided to take
eighteen of the Chicago party, thus max
ing an even 200 men or twenty-five more
than he said be needed. The party left
on an early train for San Francisco.
