Cigar-Makers Deny Statements Concern

Cigar-Makers Deny Statements Concern
ing the Mckinley Bill.
The attention OF the Federated Trades
was called last night by George Raabe OF
the Butchers Union to the agitation In this
city that preceded the enactment of the
Chinese exclusion act by Congress. He
stated that at that time meeting was held
at which a unanimous expression was given
in favor of the rigid exclusion of Chinese
laborers from the q nited States.
1t seemed to Raabe that 1t was impera-
lively necessary for the protection Of Amer
lean mechanics and laborers that another
mass-meetng should be called 10 demand
that the representatives of the coast in Con-
greSs should work for the immediate pass
age OF the Geary bill.
The council decided that 1t had done all ii
could do when photographed Senator FELTON,
that the unions of the coast favored the
Geary bill ana Rabies request was filed
The president of the council expressed
his regret at the meyer attendance of dele
gates and Instructed the secretary to notify
the unions OF the delinquency of their rep
resentatyes.
The shoemakers urged all union men TO
call for goods made by certain firm as that
hrm pays union wages aud uses the white
labor stamp.
A special delegate from the cigar-makers
stated that "a members of his union are
drawn from the Manufacturers Association
and accepted the union schedule. He
stated the union had received assurances
from many retail dealers that they would
hereafter sell none but union cigars made
in this city.
The retail clerks reported that firm is
about 10 open large store on Market
street. It's pr0prietors have promised the
clerks that they will close their store every
evening at o'clock.

had sent out $4,000 circulars throughout the
coast calling upon workingmen and retail
dealers To cease using beer which has been
bOycOtted.
The eight-hour committee reported that
they had Endorsed the eight-hour bill now
before congress. The passage of the meas
ure would be Of great benefit 10 tie unions
of this city.
A circular issued by the Cigar-manufac-
turerS Association recently formed was
read and commented upon. Its authors
asserted that the Mckinley bill had
caused an advance in the case Of wrapper
tobacco OF from 80 cents to 81 per pound,
and this was one reason why the higher
wages demanded by the Cigar-makers'
Union could not be paid. To this assertion
the cigar-makers replied that the price
had not been increased from 35
cents per pound, but from 20 cents
per pound. They also showed by the testi-
mony of men who had worked in the East
that while the minimum paid in the East to
cigar makers is 50 the minimum paid here
under the new schedule is SIS 50. They also
reminded the delegates that if the Mckin-
ley act was passed TO protect American
la Dor the only advantages which it confers
should not be absorbed by the manufac-
turers to the detriment of labor
The longshOre lumhermen last night de-
clded TO call Upon the Federated Trades 10

Der Company To pay union rates.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty
per cent. greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells

One pound of no other powder is worth

If another baking powder is forced upon you
