,ranns ria. Aug. 14-After a combined
str.Iz. and lockout lasting five weeks dur
ing which twenty-five cigar factories in
this city have been closed and 5000 cigar
makers Idle. the differences between the
employees and employers were finally set
tied at a conference held to-day. The
result is complete victory for the en-
p.oyes.
Tine manufacturers granted every de-
mard made upon them, and the changes
made obligatory by these concessions will
amount virtually TO a revolution in the
methods of producing clear Havana cigars
in the United states. The cigarmakers
demanded the abolition I'm each factory of
the scales for Weighing the filler issued
TO them This was the main point at
issue Under the new rule, which goes
into effect when the factories reopen to
morrow morning no check will be kept
upon the material issued to the men for
making cigars.
Another demand was that all factories
adopt uniform scale of wages. Hitherto
each factory had its own scale, and the
cost of production of the same grades of
cigars varied considerably in each house.
This had its effect on wholesale and re
tail prices Hereafter the workman who
makes one grade in one factory win re-
ceive exactly the same pay as one who
makes the same grade in another. There
were a dozen minor demands, and the
workmen return to their places with
everything practically their own way.
The resumption of work viii call for 600
more cigarmaSers than are here at pres
ent, that number having returned to Cuba
since the troubles began. Another result
will be that cigarmakers will command
higher wages here than ever before.

How About Brick Walks2

A dispatch from Independence says;
The demand for brick has been so
large that the plant here has sold
out all that it had on hand and is
now delivering the last OF them.
Next week there will not be a brick
in the yard. The Cherryvale plant
has just commenced work, but the
Cofeyville plant has sold out all OF
its brick and been obliged to shut
down for lack Of gas. 1t looks like
no more brick would be burned at
Coffeyville until somebody drills
some more gas wells. W. 7. Brown
controls both gas companies at Cot
feyville but seems to have failed tt
drill new wells to supply the place o
those that have given out.
