CIGAR MEN LOCKED OUT
Five Thousand Operators Involved
and Long Fight Expected.

and Long Fight Expected.
Tampa, Fla, July 11.-Twenty of the
largest cigar factories of this city have
paralysis of the cigar making industry
here for an Indefinite time. Five thous-
and operatives are thrown out of work.
involving the suffering and deprivation
of 10000 persons.
The trouble eliminating In the pres
ent lockout began three months ago,
when the employees of the Ybor Man
raro factory, the largest in the city,
walked out because of the decision of
the management to weigh all filters
gwen out to operators for making into
cigars. Efforts to amicably settle the
strike failed, and cigarmakers at other
factories joined with the strikers to de-
feat the purpose of the manufacturers.
TO protect their own interests the man.
ufacturers formed an organization, and
twenty firms signed an agreement to
shut down indefinitely in case the
strike was not settled Immediately.
Committees of leading citizens met
representatives of the manufacturers
and strikers in hopes of settling mat
ters. The strikers presented three de-
mands. three of which, being trivial,
the manufacturers granted. The fourth,
calling for the abolition of the plan of
weighing "fillers," was refused.
The, shutdown means loss of $780,
900 to- $4,000 in weekly wages. AS
Tampa makes 6o per cent. of the clear
Havana cigars produced in the United
States. the result will be felt all
through the country.
