Stock Of Clear Havanas is Being De-
pleted According to Dealers.
And There May be Long
Shortage
STRIKE AT TAMPA
Ninety Per cent Of all Havana Cigars
are Made There-Workmen
Imbued With Idea Of
Unionsm.

Cigar smokers who are going puff
ing through life imbued of the idea
mat nothing but Havanas are good
enough to smoke had better lay in
supply or come to the conclusion
That some other cigar is good enough.
There's going to be a shortage of
Havanas and it may be long contin-
ued, for the Cubans and Spaniards
are on strike and there's no telling
when the strike will be ended. Both
sides are firm, one in making the de-
mands and the other in refusing COM
pliance, and there's no telling what
the end will be or when it will be
reached. Forty of the worlds largest
cigar factories are closed at Tampa
and in Tampa there have been made
80 per cent of the clear Havanas sup
piled the American market. The
strike has been on two months but
not much was thought Of it at the
start as the summer stocks were full.
These stocks are now being rapidly
depleted and a famine is imminent
The cigarmakers in Tampa and
Key West are Cubans and Spaniards
for the most part, but they recently
have become imbued with the Ameri-
can idea of unionism. And being of
Latin extraction, they have become
imbued with the union spirit in a
manner that would make real Amer
lean union men ashamed of their weak
efforts. The strike in Tampa several
times has closely resembled a South
American revolution.
The union cigar makers have made
demands upon the manufacturers
which the latter declare are unjust
and impossible. For instance, under
the proposition submitted to the man.
ufacturers, the employers cannot dis
charge man without referring the
matter to the union. He cannot
change the size and shape of cigar
without asking the union whether the
making of the new style of cigar will
cost more or less.
The manufacturers employ thous-
ands of persons, practically all the
working population of Tampa. They
can't leave Tampa unless they quit
business. The climate of Tampa is
particularly suited to the working
of Havana tobacco into the shape of
cigars. When Havana cigars are
made in Tampa they still are Havana
cigars, because they are made by
Cuban and Spanish workmen and in
climate that is the same as that of
Cuba. If made elsewhere they would
cease to be Havanas in flavor and
aroma

child story at his own expense. The

The good doctor felt duly f1attered, but
rashly pressed the children. In the
