THE cIGARMAkERs.
Will Soon Be Called Upon to Vote On
Pension Proposition.

Recently Cigarmakers' Union No.
248, Jacksonville, Fla, proposed an
to the general constitution
providing for a pension system. The
proposition has received endorsements
sufficient in number to send it to a
referendum for acceptance or rejec-
ton. The amendment provides that a
five-cent assessment shall be levied on
all members for each death, the pro-
ceeds to go to the heirs, less 5 per
to provide a home for sick and dis
abled cigarmakers. out of which. how
ever, all dues and assessments of sick
members shall be paid. The amend
ment also provides that members shall
not pay the assessment until they are
such for two years, thus making two
classes of members.
President Perkins seems to have
taken a stand against the proposition.
He describes it as Compulsory insur-
ance" and raises the objection that it
is too expensive. being about $3.50
per month per member. He says:
1--WE have an undoubted right to
build home for sick or disabled men,
bers and to adopt any kind of .bene-
fit in which all may participate, but
to say to thoroughly honest, con-
scientious union man, who is such
from principle, that he must pay for
compulsory insurance or be suspend
ed fro mthe union, or to say to the
non-unionist, who works for frightfully
small wages and whom we must reach,
that the dues and assessments are 81
a week, is a serious matter and should
not be lightly passed over. We are
heartily in favor of every one of the
present benefits we now have and in
adding to them, but they should be of
the kind that properly come under
the sphere of trade union activity, and
against which there can be no serious,
well-grounded objection"
The strike of 500 Porto Rican cigar
makers for more pay is at end, with
a victory for the men. The employers
have agreed to pay $3.50 more per
thousand.

DOUGLAS MINUS THE STAMP.
Brockton Shoe Man No Longer En-.
titled to the Union Label.


To Whom it May Concern-So many
misleading articles have appeared in
the public press with reference to the
Douglas controversy, we issue this
brief and accurate statement of facts
In January, 1908, the Douglas com
pany transferred rs cases 600 pairs)
per day of $3.50 shoes from their No
1 to their No. factory, and expressed
their willingness to accept inferior
work, for which they would pay the
same wages as paid on their $500
shoes.
In June, 1908, they had increased the
$3.50 shoes SO transferred to $4,000
pairs per day. These shoes were then
transferred back to the original No. 1
factory, at which time the wages on
their entire $3.50 product amounting
to between 5000 and 1000 pairs per
day, were placed under this No. 2 or
reduced scale of wages, thus establish
ing a condition wherein no transfer
had taken place, which justifies us in
the conclusion that the transfer of
shoes was for the purpose of securing
a reduced labor cost, contrary to the
arbitration method in vogue between
the Douglas company and the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union for the previous
nine years.
We contend that this method of Sc
curing reduced wage was Inconsistent

A LITTLE SUFFERER.
Harold Nickel Still in the Orthopedic
Hospital for Treatment.

Mrs. Jess Nickel was in Lincoln

hospital for treatment since last July
Harold has been suffering from a spe-

his parents have had him treated
without avail in many of the hospi-
tails of Nebraska and Iowa. Not until
he was taken to the orthopedic hos

ment secured. But now there are graf
flying signs of improvement, and ii
is believed that permanent cure will
be affected. He will have to remain
in the hospital for several months yet.
