A TOBACCO BOYCOTT.
Dealer in neriden Thinks Unions Are
Rouabing il ON Him.

(Meriden, May lit was reported
day Or two ago that the local unions
have placed the corner cigar store of
Walter j. Conner, corner of East .hain
and Hanover streets, on the unfair list,
because of his unWillingness to comply
with the demand that he sell nothing
but union made cigars and tobaccos.
When seen in regard to the matter Mr.
Conner stated that all he knew about
the matter was as follows:
when l opened this store the fore
part of April, l started with a stock
composed of a variety of union and
non-union made cigars as well as an
assortment of both trust-made and in
dependent made tobaccos, cigarettes,
ETC. A few days after the store was
opened for business | was waited upon
by three men, who told me must
carry nothing but union-made goods.
l told them that If the Meriden trade
wanted nothing but union-made goods
it would be a simple matter to carry
wat. they required, but that there
seemed to be demand for non union
made goods as well.
"A few days later these same men,
l think they were the same three,
called again and told me in no mis-
taken manner that / must throw out
of my stock all non-union goods |
tried to explain that much of my trade
demanded certain brands of cigars and
tobaccos which were made In factories
not employing union laborassand it
seemed hardly the fair thing to ask me
to throw out goods and drive away
desirable trade by SO doing.
'Some days later man stood in
front of the door and shouted, This is
scab joint Next day / was again.
S4oc1 u al Sc
throw out non-union goods I would be
blacklisted. replied that I could see
no more justice in eliminating nom
union goods from my stock than could
in complying with request or demand
to throw out all union-made goods.
That my theory of cigar retailing was
to sell people what they. want and at
reasonable prices. That / had come
to Meriden recently, and to do legit-
innate business, catering to all who
would favor me with their trade.
my caller said: All right; If you
can't be a white man and chuck out
those scab goods, we'll fix you; came
to give you a tip; tomorrow the boy
colt goes on, you can't buck thirty
unions
"That was last week Tuesday I
haven't noticed any shrinkage in the
business yet although I will say note
the absence Of several union men who
came in regularly and bought trust
made tobaccos. I am sorry to lose any
trade These Inconsistencies are rather
hard to understand and life is too
short to try to figure them out"
When asked directly If he intended
to comply with the demand to throw
out all non-union made goods. Mr. Com
nor replied: certainly not. No soon
er.would agree to throw out all union
made goods. Either demand is unfair
and un-American."

STILL A DEADLOCK.
Springfield Convention Has
Taken Twenty-nine Ballots.
GOVERNOR YATES HAS STRONG LEAD
Attempt Was Made to secure Agree
Ment ON Congressman Warner,
but 1t Failed-LittIe Prospect
of Compromise.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 17.--With
the deadlock unbroken and with little
prospect of compromise on a candi-
date for governor, the Illinois Repub-
Hcan convention has taken al recess
after having taken five ballots. The
recess followed the twenty-ninth roll
call, the result of which showed each
candidate with approximately the
same strength he had when he entered
the convention.
The twenty-ninth ballot gave the fol-
lowing results: Governor Richard
Yates, 4S1; Frank G. Lowden, 4O4
Charles S. Deneen, 1872; Rowland j.
Hamlin, 115; Vespasian Warner, 81;
Lawrence Y. Sherman. SEC John H,
Pierce, %.
The proceedings were comparatively
tame, and at only one time during the
session was there any great demon
stration. This occurred when a glee
club was invited to the platform to
sing Illinois"
Chairman Joseph G.. Cannon asked
the audience to join in the chorus, and
he led the refrain from his place on
the platform, beating time with a re-
versed gavel He looked like an old
time singing master at country
schoolhouse as he swayed his body in
unison with the music and measured
the time with the improvised baton.
The great audience sang with will,
and when the echoes of the chorus
died away wave of enthusiasm swept
over the armory hall.
A number of conferences are in prog
ress. One Of them, brought about by
the alleged federal influence in the
convention, is attempting to select an
outside candidate and the names of
Walter Reeves, former Governor Jo-
seph Fifer and several others have
been mentioned. Today, it is said,
federal influences attempted to secure
an agreement on Congressman Yespa-
sian Warner, but they could not get
enough votes, and the threat of Ham
lin and Sherman to nominate Yates if
Warner became a formidable candi-
date deferred them. Yates supporters
tonight say that Senator Cullom is ex-
erting his influence with postmasters
throughout Illinois to take away votes
from Yates
Yates and Deneen adherents are in
conference to strengthen their forces.
said to be allied to prevent federal in
huences from stampeding the conven-
ton for Lowden.
The failure of any of Senator Hop
kins' delegates to break from Yates
indicates, it is said, that Senator Hop
kins has decided to stay with Yates in
the struggle, although Lowden par
tisans insist that they will get Hop
kins delegates as soon as Lowden has
enough votes to settle the contest.
