George +. Canning, secretary Of the In
icrnational Cigarmakers' Union, Of
which y Wolf. who is now in the East.
Is president. was talked with last night
respecting a dispatch from Chicago
stating that Wolf has refused to bring
IL cigsrmahers from Chicago, and left
them stranded at the depot in that city.
Canning said that in combining himself
10 go men. which Wolf is bringing.
the latter had simply obeyed instruc-
tons, a. the amount subscribed by the
international [ Mon, of New York, was
only sufficient TO pay the expenses of
POO TO san Francisco. Canning says
this misunderstanding is due to the fact
that the cigarmakers who wished to
come 10 California had COMPOUNDED
Wolf with the agent of the Cigar
makers Association. This latter aSso-
citation is composed Of proprietors of
San Francisco cigar-factories. They
sent an agent Fast on their own &C
count To procure white cigarmakers, so
az To- be independent of Union men.
