The trouble between the cigarmakers,
which has caused a strike at the factories
of the Havana-American Company. at
Tampa, has taken new turn. The men,
bers of the Liga which is called the Cuban
League, have made a demand, in addition
to others, that Jose Arrange, local man
ager, be dismissed. They declare that
they will not return to work in either Of
the factories until he is removed from
the position of local manager, and say
that they are financially prepared to make
a long and determined fight against sur
rendering on this point. Mr.. Arrange was
for years the resident manager of Seiden-
berg & Co.'S factory in Tampa, of which
he was the principal owner. and always
seemed to get along well with the people
employed. The matter now rests there
and seems destined to stay for a while
Notwithstanding the labor troubles which
have beset some of the factories here
the shipment of Cigars last week was up
to the average. and still remained ahead
of the shipments for the corresponding
week last year.
