PROTEST. AGAINST TARIFF BILL
Cheap Philippine Cigars Mean Ruin to
Cigarmakers.

Union cigarmakers everywhere are
united in their opposition and protests
against that portion Of the Philippine
tariff bill which provides for a. rs per
cent reduction on tobacco and cigars
imported from the islands. Congress is
being petitioned from all quarters TO
kill that portion which provides for
such sweeping reduction in the tariff
for the reason that this action, the eli
garmakers say, would result in putting
American workmen out Of the business
Of cigarmaking entirely.
Copies Of resolutions passed by local
No. ~ were forwarded to the Minnesota
congressman recently. Replies have
been received from Senators Nelson and
Clapp to the effect that The resolutions
would receive careful consideration at
their hands. Mr.. Nelson will present
one Of these resolutions to the senate,
and if possible have'it referred to. the
committee on the Philippine islands,
which has the Philippine tariff bill in
charge.
That the members of the Cigarlnak-
ers' International Union of America
look with alarm upon this proposed leg
islation there can be no doubt. The in.
sternational president, George w Per.
kins, has caused to be..scattered broad
cast a circular setting forth the conten-

MONEY TIED UP
Pennsylvania Hatters Have Hard Eight

Daniel P. Kelly, national representa-
tive Of the United Hatters of North
America, has been in Minneapolis the
last week. Mr.. Kelly has been in the
twin cities for about two weeks, dur
ing which time he has been visiting the
different labor unions in an effort to
create healthier demand for the prod
uct of the union hatters.
He is on his way east from the coast,
where he spent considerable time in his
special work. Mr.. Kelly states that,
notwithstanding the many trials and
vicissitudes thru which the United Hat
ters organization has recently passed,
having been involved in court proceed
ings for two years or more in Penn
sylvania, the; union is in a most pros
porous condition. e. So & - +: i.
In the proceedings instituted in the
Pennsylvania courts by the employers,
many individual members found their
PERSONAL bank accounts attached, and
these are still tied up in big damage

it's members.

WHERE SLAVE TRADE ~.

One Of the Blacklist Crimes Which Even

Portuguese West Africa is one part
of the world where the slave trade still
fourishes, according to Harper IS Maya

he saw at Behguela:
A day or two before the steamer is
due to depart kind of ripple seems
to pass over the stagnant. town. Off
cials stir, clerks begin to- crawl about
with pens, the long, low building called

window or two and looks quite busy.
Then, early one morning, the curador
arrives and takes his seat in the long,
low room as representing the benefcent
government Of Portugal. Into his pres
ence the slaves are herded ia gangs by
the official agent. They are ranged up
and in accordance with the decree Of
Jan. 20, 1903, they are asked whether
they 60 willingly as laborers to San

register, containing the year of con-
tract, his number and name, his BIRTH
place, his chiefs name, the agent IS

the same ritual is observed for the wo-
men as for the men.

necks,H the, cylinders are slung at their
sides and the natives, believing them to

risy has been. consummated. The re
quirements Of legalized slavery have
