their good will. A rising vote of thanks
was given the firm by the boys. "a
Carl Upham, tobacco manufacturer of
New York, has broken faith with the
union and is now using machines oper.
ated by girls. This firm has employed
union labor for the past eight years and
gained wide reputation on the strength
of the label. The unions of New York
have sent VIM. Strauss on the road to
agitate against the use of this firms
brands.
The Cradle & Strotz Tobacco COM
pany, of Chicago, have unionized their
factory, and are now using the union
label upon all of their goods. For fifty
years this firm has been employing nom
union labor, but have come to the con-
clusion that union labor is more profit
able in the long run. Among their
brands are Sweet Tip Top, Beats All
and Double Eagle. Call for this firms
brands when purchasing. See their
adv. on first page.
The cigarmakers, at their meeting
Wednesday evening, appointed COM
mittee of twelve for agitating the blue
label. The committee will be divided
into four sections of three each, to work
in different parts of the city. The CT
garmakers are hustlers, so we can look
for some good, effective work to be done.
The committee consists of Messrs. Gar
land, Schebesky, Malaston, Piering.
