be done at home, for one plant has been
established at Madison, and another will be
in operation in time to cure the next crop.
The Florida Tobacco Growers Association
is working faithfully, and is determined to
make the tobacco industry an immense
success.
Tampa Journal: For some weeks past
trouble has been brewing in V. NJ. Ybor's
factory on account Of the state of things
existing in the factory. On Tuesday nine
teen cigarmakers, all making the same class
of work Ia very fine grade, sent commit
tee to the foreman demanding better mate
rial. The answer given by the firm not
being deemed satisfactory by them, they all
refused to continue work on that brand.
Wednesday morning matters came to
climax on account of Mr.. Ybor notifying
the operatives that hereafter nobody would
be allowed to address the cigarmaksrs from
| the readers stand. Immediately every man
abandoned work, and at a meeting which
was held at - o'clock in the hall of the
| club Crombet, on Eighth avenue, the fol-
| lowing demands were submitted to the
| firm: l. No interference of the right of
| the men to use the readers stand for public
| speeches. 2. To demand better material
| 8. The discharge of the foreman Mr.
Chavez. 4. The discharge of the book
keeper, Mr.. Peroza. In case the firm re-
FUSED TO accede TO UheSo demands, 1t was
resolved unanimously to abandon work in
the factory. In the meantime committees
had been appointed in the other factories by
the operatives with instructions to notify
| Ybors men that they would be assisted
morally and financially. 1t was resolved
to call a mass meeting of all the different
| factories for 6 o'clock in the evening to re-
ceive the FIRMS answer, discuss the situation
and to hear the response to the different
kilograms sent to Jacksonville, Key West
