How IL Is Explained.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 2S.-Georee l..
Canning, Secretary of the International
Cigar Makers Union, of which j.
Wolf, nov in the East, il President,
was seen tonight respecting the dispatch
from Chicago stating that Wolf had re-
fused to bring l75 cigar makers
from Chicago, and had left them
stranded at the Chicago Depot,
Canning said that in combining himself
to the 200 men whom he is bringing
with him, Wolf had simply sbeyed his
instructions, as the amount subscribed
by the International Union of New York
was only sufficient TO pay the expenses
of 200 men to San Francisco. Canning
says that the misunderstanding Is due
to the fact that the cigarmakers who
wished to come to California had cou-
founded Wolf with the agent Of the Ci-
Rarmakers' Association. This latter
association is composed OF the proprie-
tors of the San Francisco cigar facto-
ries. They sent an agent East on their
own account to procure oigafmakers,
so as to be independent Of the union
