sister organizations in their. effort to

It looks almost like a.: challenge; to
organized labor, and in fact one local
dealer openly makes the assertion that
he considered it a good thing to have
unions fighting the cigars, as it only
served to advertise them, and make
more demand for them This being the
case, it would seem to be the part Of
wisdom for union men to refrain from
patronizing these cigars, or any other
cigar not bearing the union label. - -
The International union Of the cigar
makers has sent out a. statement OF
their grievances against the manufact-
urers of these cigars, and giving the

MINNEAPOLIS, April ia meeting
to form permanent organization Of
what will be known as the. head or
grand league of the Eight Hour
Leagues of America, was held at Alex
anders hall last Saturday evening.
Permanent organization was effected
by the election of officers as follows:
President, John O'Donnell; vice-presi-
dent, M. E.. .Neary; secretary, G. L.
Rockwell; financial secretary, L. S.
Ogden; treasurer, Louis Hansen: board
Of directors, F. w. Bell; J. J. Reynolds,
Perley Rhoads, T. J. Rooney, e. E.
Stevens. ~,
1t is the intention of these gentelmen
to advance by every legitimate means
the eight-hour movement, and to this
end leagues will be formed in every city
and village in the country, and every
one who believes in the right Of man to
have little time to himself, for recre-
| alton or self Improvement, will be ask
ed to join the league and wear the but
ton showing their loyalty to the move
ment. ID" I 2
There is no doubt the time is ripe for
| an eight-hour movement, and it can be
brought to an issue by uniting the
forces which have already taken a
stand in it's favor, and those who favor
it, but have as yet taken no stand in
| the mater. .. ~.-- =, ,>-
Wherever the matter has been broaci
ed to the organizations it has met with
instant approval and much enthusiasm
has been expressed. While it is by no
means intended to confine the move
| ment to the organizations, but on the
contrary to embrace everyone who be-
| lieves in the eight-hour day, it is but
natural that the founders should take
advantage Of the perfect machinery of
! the labor organizations in order to give
the movement the proper start.
, Meetings are being held nightly, and
/ constitution and bylaws have been
| drafted, and everything will be done in
a thoroughly systematic and business
like manner.

A FAIR and True Rl[('EVIfW
OF the Trouble by Louis Hansen, President
of the Minneapolis Trades Council.
The Union Will Win.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 19.-In reply
ing to your favor of the 18th, I will
endeavor to give you an out line of the
trouble now existing between the Car
penters Union of Minneapolis and the
contractors who belong to the Master
Builders Association.
In the first place there is about 1870
contractors in the city who employ
jOurneymen carpenters, and out of this
number the union men are of the opin-
ion that about rs or 80 are members OF
the Master Builders Association,
though they themselves claim about
40. 10 the best of my knowledge it has
always been customary with the Car
penters' Union to send copy Of their
working rules and also the joint agree
ment between the WOOdwOrkers Union
and the Carpenters Union to the build
ers some two or three months before
the season opens. Following is a copy
of the carpenters working rules and
also a copy of the joint working rules
Of the woodworkers and carpenters:
1. Eight hours shall constitute a
days work.
2. Thirty-two and one-half cents per
hour shall be the minimum wages for
journeymen carpenters.
8. Time and one-half will be charged
for all over time.
4. Double time will be charged for
all Sunday work.
S. No member will be allowed to
work overtime unless it is absolutely
necessary. II
6. ALI members working for bona
tide contractors must receive their pay
in full at least every two weeks. l2airsssssss s

that shingling and floor work is carpen-
ters' work. and any member refusing
to do this work will be fined IS for each
offense.
TO- The properly credentialed officer
of this union shall have access to any
jub under construction during working
hours.
II. No member will be allowed to

Interna tional Union of America, unless
the Building Trades Council decides
otherwise, after the same is reported
to that body.
4. Woodworkers' Union, No. IA, will
allow no factory that uses the union
label of the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers' International Union of America, to
take contracts that come under the
jurisdiction of the Carpenters and join
ers' Union, 7, unless they employ men,
bers of said Carpenters and Joiners'
Union, No. l.
5. This agreement shall be in force
and effect for one year from April l.
The above rules are the same that the
carpenters and contractors worked un-
der for the year past and also the work
: ing rules of the woodworkers are prac-
tically the same as the contractors who
employed union men last year and
bought their mill work from a union
mill or factory which placed the union
label on their mill trim.
After due consideration by the Master
Builders Association, it was deemed an
injustice by these so-called or self
master builders, to buy their mill trim
from union shop that paid living
wages at least, so they are endeavoring
to break the agreement Of the carpen-
ters and woodworkers, and then there
will be no obstacles in their way from
purchasing their mill trim from the hell
shops in Wisconsin, where women and
