Cigar Makers win Strike.
Unless their demands for increase are
granted to-day.


Voting down the compromise of
fer OF the manufacturers to their
demands, union cigar makers, at a
meeting at Workmen' Hall, Gin
cinnati Tuesday night, decided to
call strike Wednesday night in
every Union cigar factory where
the owner does not grant the re-
quested wage increase and better
working conditions. The demand
for a new wage scale was made on
ly in union shops, and if strike is
called about 900 cigar makers will
be effected. The men determined
to meet Thursday morning at 10
o'clock at Workmen's Hall if the
stiike is called.
The demands of the men are for
a fat increase of 81 per 1000 on
all brands of cigars Ind for some
Improvements in working condi-
tions. The cigar makers work s
hours per day and no change in
hours is asked. AS compromise
the manufacturers offered 81 in
crease for clear Havana and so
cents for domestic brands. The
international headquarters of the
union at Chicago granted authority
to call the strike last Monday, but
upon the statement of the manu-
facturers that no time was allowed
for settlement, it was extended
until today. Former Secretary
Charles Ackerman, of the Central
Labor Council, took an important
part In the meeting last evening.
A we'll known cigar manufac-
turer, speaking of the demands of
the union yesterday, blamed the
4. w. w. for the trouble. The
men are earning S18 to $25 per
week" he said, and their earning
capacity is not affected by age.
The working conditions, even to
ventilation, are excellent. The de-
mand made upon union shops is
unfair, as the union manufacturers
have maintained higher prices,
while the nonunion shops, which
they are not seeking to unionize,
employ thousands of girls at low
wages"

Three hundred and fifty tin mill
strikers made a demonstration at

The Ringhampton Tragedy.

Binghampton N, Y. Aug s. Ac-
cording to the latest information,
the dead in the Bingpampton Cloth
ing Company fire reaches forty-ope
although there are still sixteen per
sons missing Twenty-nine bodies
have been recovered from the ruins
but only FIVE of these have been
positively identified. The investi-
CATION has developed facts which
show criminal negligence, either
upon the part of the owners of the
building or the factory inspectors.
1t is stated that the factory was op-
Grated in absolute defiance of the
law, it having but one continuous
exit from the fourth floor, the law
requiring that there must be at
least two. There were no real solid
treads upon the fire escapes, and
the general construction of the FIRE
escapes did not conform to the law.
If it is proven that inspectors ex-
amined the building and past the
FIRE escapes as adequate it is assert
ed that their action was criminal.
One official OF the State, who was
here with other State officials, de
clared that the factory was death
trap. Mr.. Whiskeman, who made
an investigation of the Triangle
fire for District Attorney Whitman,
declared that there was more Grim.
inal carelessness in the fire here
than at the Triangle blaze His
investigation revealed the fact that
stairway running through the
company's building had been re-
moved to make room for more

ing placed drove human life, was
Mr.. Whiskeman 5 statement. An
other statement which has been
given out is TO the effect that at
tention was called by one of the
employees TO the unusual heat in
the building at one o'clock, and
that smoke was noticeable at two
o'clock while the flames were dis
covered at $50. This indicates
again a lack Of precaution in the
condnct of the factory This is
one more instance where a desire
for profit had grown to such an ex
tent as to practically waive aside
even the slightest precaution for the
protection of workmen and work
women.
