 New Haven, Conn, April 10, 1908. To the Cigar Manufacturers Assocla-
 ton of New Haven. Conn, Mir John
 r. Scholl, Secretary:
 Dear Sir-Referrlng to the ultima tum of the Cigar Manufacturers asso- ciation of New Haven. Conn, given to Mir. George R. French, a representa- tive of the Cigarmakers International Union of America, on March 24, 1908, as follows:
 l. "The Cigar Manufacturers as- sociation of New Haven, Conn.,, de- mand and insist upon the right to keep a strict accounting of the stock delivered to the workmen's table"
 We realize that, to successfully con duct the business of manufacturing cigars, the manufacturer wants to know the cost of his products, and as the weighing or counting of wrappers and binders. which is permissible, does not give this result unless the filters are also weighed-and they say 1t is for this purpose that 1t is desired we do not see how we can abrdge this right, and, as arbitrators for the international union, do hereby con cede it
 The Manufacturers association with Messrs Kilfeather and Barker, have guaranteed that the men shall receive all the filters that they want and when they want them. This, they say. has been the custom in the past and will continue. The punch in the mems stock cards shall denote the amount of filters used by the maker, and not the number of cigars l he is to obtain from the filters, and that any accumulation of scraps can be exchanged for long filters.
 2. "We also insist that the fore man in Mr. J. r. Kilfeather's factory, who carried out the order of MT Kill feather to so keep an accounting of stock, may be retained in his position without the interference of the work men"
 This we concede, too. for 1t has been proven to our satisfaction that Mir Barker cannot be interfered with in this capacity.
 The arbitrators ask that the Cigar Manufacturers association of New Haven, Conn, subscribe themselves tc the foregoing, and that they resume operations in all their factories under the same conditions that prevailed al the time of the difficulty at MT. J. P Kilfoather's factory, until a final ad' justment is made as provided in sec ton 94 of the constitution of the C. M | T. of A., which reads as follows;
 Section 94. The executive boart shall be empowered to appoint one oI two members of the internationa union with instructions to arbitrate local union, any difficulty affecting tn, members. Should the terms of settle ment not be agreeable to the uniol involved but if approved by the ar bitrators appointed. the eXecutlv board shall have the power to suhmi said terms to a vote of the loca unions, when, if approved, they shal be binding upon all the members O ! the international union" We, the undersigned, certify tha | the above is our award in this case , and subscribe our names this 10th da , of April, 1908, at New Haven, Conn f GEORGE k.
