San Francisco Cicarmakers' Wages.

San Francisco April IA new schedule
was presented to the cigar manufacturers
today by the union. The larger manu-
facturers were almost unanimous in de-
claring that its adoption would leave them
no alternative but to go out of business.
The new schedule not only advances the
price from so cents to 81 per thousand, but
changes the size of cigars. AS result the
increase is from 81 on cheaper brands to
S. per thousand on better class of goods.
1t was reported at the cigarmakers' head
quarters this afternoon that the only men
out were in Plaggemann's, Garcia's and
the cooperative factories. President
Kelly, of the union, said he thought every
thing would be settled by Thursday night,
as the employers did not understand the
situation. The increase, he said, was de-
sired by the men because they wanted to
push the blue label cigars in the manu-
facturers' interests

The Eastern League Begins Its Schedule
Jim Hall Matched With
Bob Fitzsimmons.

The third season of the Pacific North
west League is scheduled to open todry,
and the Seattle team plays its first game
with Billy Works men at Tacoma. The
event has worked up lively interest
among the local ''fans," and it is likely
that large number Of the faithful will
go over to do some lustv shouting for
their champions. The team leaves this
morning at 80 by the steamer Bailey
Gatzert, and will not return to the city
for two weeks. After four games at Ia
coma they go to Spokane for series. Re-
turning they play the opening game here,
on April 81, with Ollie Boards aggrega-
ton.
Considering the little practice they have
had all the Seattle players show up re-
markedly well. Not one of them but was
in fair condition when they reached here,
and it will not take much training to put
them in the best of playing form. That

be decidedly strong, and his style of taking

some funny antics both at bat and in the
field, which speak as plainly as words, and
he is sure to be a great favorite with the
stands.
In the outfield Abner Powell and Tom
my Hernon are chasing flies as lively as
ever, and Danny Minnehan's manner of
handling himself has pleased even the
croakers, in whose minds fingers the men,
