HOW MAcHiNIsTs STARTED.
An Interesting Story Told BY Reading
Labor Advocate.

The International Association of
Machinists was organized at Atlanta,
Ga, in this manner: Five railway
machinists had on several occasions
asked the master mechanic for an
increase in wages, only to be refused.
Ore day, while lying fat on their
lacks under a locomotive making re-
rairs. they began to discuss the ques
tion, and one remark led to another.
ard the suggestion was made to form
union, and, john on the spot,
l. was formed right there and then.
The International Association of Ma
ohinists now has over eight hundred
lodges in the United States, Canada,
Newfoundland and Mexico, and has
working agreements with ninety per
cent of the leading railways in Amer
lea, to say nothing of the contract
shops.

think they can make an extra penny
by so doing:
How some cigar dealers work it is

but it will do just as well as any.
"Oh yes, l have he answered, and
dived down underneath the counter,
pulling out box which contained my
fayorite brand.
Il asked why he didn't keep the Roy
al Princess in his show case with other
cigars, and he said it was because they
stand that many cigars make it a rule
to display most prominently the goods
which cost them the least, but which
retail at the same prices as the better
grades"

national Printing Pressmen and AS
sistants' Union, to prevent the inter-
ma tional board from taking the Amer
lean FRESHMAN away from Theodore
Galoskowski. who was elected editor
at the San Francisco convention for
term of five years. Local union
No. 6, of which Galoskowski is a
member, and No. 43, the Assistants
organization, are the parties that
asked for the injunction. The rea-
sons given for ousting Galoskowski
are that he was not in harmony with
the methods of the executive board
and had printed matter detrimental
to their plans. This is the outcome
of the recent removal Of Editor Ga
loskowski. When the case comes be-
fore the court it will be tried on its
merits. Galoskowski at first decided
to waive rights and fight it out at the
next convention. Evidently he has
changed his mind and will fight it
out in court"

the Lincoln made cigar is hidden from
sight. Some of these days some Lin
coin cigar dealer or druggist is going
to make specially Of Lincoln made CT
gars and advertise the fact extensively
The result will be that he will grab on
mighty nice trade.
Business is picking up among the
cigar makers, but 1t would be ten
times better If Lincoln smokers would
get over the idea that a tenement
house cigar with fancy band around
is and packed in box with a highly
colored Autograph on the lid is the
best cigar. The cigars that are made
in Lincoln are the cigars that Lincoln
men should smoke.

beneficial to the people on both sides
