Cigar.

The flavor Of a cigar not only
depends on the quality of the
tobacco, but also ON the care
taken in its manufacture. When
we say its manufacture we mean
the blending, selection Of the
different kinds Of tobacco and the
skill used in putting them to-
gcther. As this takes time and
money il is often forgotten In
other cigars. A trial smoke will
convince you Of the superior
quality of the Escanaba. Just

". W.P. co. BROKE
UNION AGREEMENT

The whole story of the trouble
between the Structural Building
Trades alliance and the Washing
ton Water Power company over the
new horse and car barns, has not
been told, according to George w.
Miller. business agent of the al
lance. So
AS the official representative Of
the alliance gives it, the trouble
originated in another broken prom
Use of the officers Of the Washing
ton Water Power company.
On Sept. 81, according to Bust
ness Agent Miller, several local
unions called on Superintendent
Harry Richards with a proposal
that all work on the barns be done
by union men, otherwise an effort
would be made to keep members
from working on the building. A
verbal agreement, it is claimed,
was made at this conference that
the company would remove all
non-union men employed on the
job. On Sept. Sit was found that
non-union men were still employed
on the barns and representatives
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-10-04

of Il various unions called out all
the nnion men.
w zen the strike was called the
board of governors of the Carpen-
tiers union held special meeting
and, it is claimed, upheld the action
of the business agents in calling all
the union men off the buildings
and the action Of Business Agent
Won Eschen Of that union in re-
turning the carpenters to work is
something the structural trades Of
ficers are unable to understand.
The action of the Carpenters will
be reported to the International
Structural Building Trades alliance
and to their International by the
local alliance.
1t IS therefore probable that the
trouble between the carpenters and
the other unions will ventually be
settled by their intrnationals.
1t is possible that the other
building trades will refuse to recog-
niZe the cards of Carpenters union
No. SO whose members returned to
work on the barns despite the Or
ders of the Structural alliance.

UNION MEN ARE
DISAPPOINTED |

The action Of the city council in
turning down the resolution Of
Councilman Gray that the new cen
crete bridges be constructed un-
der a competent engineer by day
labor came as a disappointment to
the labor men who have advocated
this plan. They claim that at
presnt contractors are willing to
hire union men and work union
hours, but that if the day labor
system ia dropped permanently by
the city the old labor grinding
policy will resumed.
when it is taken into considera-
ton that the unions have spent
thousands of dollars in compellig
the cotractors to obey the state
laws and the city ordinances on
public work." said a member Of one
Of the unions particularly inter-
ested in city work, "you can readily
see how anxious we are that the
old conditions are not renewed in
this city. 1t is not a custom Of
doing days work but Of maintain
ing living wages for the common
laborers in this CITY,"
This man said that tn Getty
could find many honest, capa BILE
engineers who would take the
work in charge; that it could be
done better than by contract, and
the contractors profit saved to the
taxpayers.

NATION MUSTRU
SAYS ROOSEVELT

practically all of it that is employed
In the great corporations does thus
go in. The national legislators
should most scrupulously avoid any
demagogic legislation about the
business use Of this wealth, and
should realize that it would be bet
ter to have no legislation at all
than legislation couched either in a
indicative spirit of hatred toward
men of wealth or else drawn with
the recklessness of impracticable
Missionaries.
''But on the other hand, it shall
and must ultimately be understood
that the United States government,
on behalf of the people of the
United States, has and is to exer-
else the power of supervision and
