.C|GARMAkERs PLAN

ST. LOUIS UNION ISSUES CIRCU-

International Congress of Organization

on Questions at Issue.

Ggarmakers' Union, No. A, of ST.
louis, is sending out circular to al
locals asking Endorsement of an amend
lment printed in the current Cigarmak-
bers journal calling for convention.
The circular was received by the local
funion Thursday and will come up for
action at the meeting to be held next
Thursday evening.
It Is nearly ten years since the Cigar
makers International union met in con-
vention. In the period since conven-
tions were discontinued, great amount
of the business has been taken care of
by means Of the referendum. Several
times amendments have been submitted
to the membership providing for the
one was. adopted postponing the regu-
lar session which was to have been
held in September, 1901. The last con-
yention was held in 1895.

some plan to remedy this condition of

tional' is meant shops conducted nn-
der the direction and control Of the
Cigarmakers International union. For
this phase Of the difficulty the follow
ing is proposed as a panacea: CO.
operation, international shops, the in
ternational union sto experiment in man
ufacturing cigars and conducting fac
tories instead Of paying out-of work and
strike benefits, thus constituting the in
ternational union proprietor of the
great cooperative cigar factory and at
tempting to demonstrate to the work
ers the possibility of combined effort
on the part Of organized labor to own,
operate and conduct the industry which
it has chosen for a livelihood. This
proposition lis surrounded with SO many
important features that mere theoriz-.
ing can at best advance only vague
idea Of the many points involved.
1t 'is said No. II will add it's indorse-
ment to the plan. Local conditions seem
to warrant the membership in calling
general convention. In Minnesota
the Industrial Workers are in the field
in opposition to the Cigarmakers' union,
and this and many other reasons lead
some Of the Minneapolis cigarmakers
to believe that a convention will be
held in the near future.
