Cigarn1akers

That the Cigarmakers' International
onion is one of the greatest in the world,
as well as one of the oldest. is conclu-
sively shown by a recent issue OF the
Journal in which compilation of the
benefits paid and derived during the last
"a years is shown in comprehensive tab
ulated form, beginning with the year
1873. The different items explained by
years are as follows: Loans to travelling
members, 81 ,337 ,444; strike benefits, ST.
5O2, ,l47; sick benefits, $3,70l,7Ss; death
and disability benefits, S3,3S7723; out
of work benefits, 81 ,4lS,534.
The cost per member per year for all
benefits is also given. 1t runs from
SLIT in 1880 to $3.50 in 1910.
The table is one of the most complete
historical resumes of the financial trans
actions of the international union ever
issued It presents birdseye view of
the benefits paid, the cost per member
for the given number of years and the
balance on hand at the end of each fis-
cal year. For instance, in the payment
of out-of-work benefits the amounts
fIuctuate according to the state OF trade.
The highest cost per member per year
for out of work benefits was S643 4-l0 in
1896 and the lowest cost per member
per year was 39R cents in 1908.
The out of work benefit has been paid
for period of "a years, commencing
January ], 1890, and the average cost
per member per year for the first ten
years was 1920 Ito. This is instructive
information, as the ten years in question
were about equally divided between
periods of normal trade condition and in
dustrial stagnation. The average cost
per member per year for the "a years in
which the benefit has been in operation
was $l.01.
The l5-cent dues paying members re-
ceive strike and not more than $50 death
benefit. The 20-cent beneficiary retired
members receive sick and death benefit;
hence both are included when figuring
the cost per member per year in the
payment Of benefits in which they par
ticipate, although in the tables they are
given separate columns of membership
and affiliation.

EUROPEAN UNIONS
STRUGGLE TO HOLD
Trying to Maintain Existence
at Any Cost
All Disputes Dumped and Some Sus-
pend Dues; Using Funds for Relief
of Families Striker by Disaster

While the outlook for the workers Or
ganization in Europe was naturally very
gloomy at the outbreak of the war the
active men and women grimly plunged
into the struggle to minimize the losses
and to maintain the existence of the
unions at all cost. In England all dis
putes and demands have been dumped
overheard. The big strike of building
trades in London, which has been in
progress over six months, has been set
tied in conference and the workers in
suburban towns were also urged to set
tie their troubles at all hazards.
The dispute at Oxford has been re-
ferred to Premier Asquith as arbitra-
tor The marine engineers of London
have declared truce, as have the elec-
trical workers, and the dock troubles at
Liverpool and Birkenhead have been set-
tied as were most of the contentious of
the miners and railway men. In Ger
many the General Federation of Trades
Unions issued call to the membership
urging all to stand true in order that
relief can be furnished to the distressed,
and also instructing that locals protest
against any attempt to reduce wages
or increase hardships in any way or the
part of employers.
The international secretariat has been
compelled to discharge all foreign en-
ployes at the demand of the government.
The Austrian unions have protested in
vigorous language against the confisca-
ton of the cooperative institutions
owned by their members and through
which much suffering was alleviated.
Great misery exists in Vienna and other
cities and the working people are said
to be bordering on revolt. In Denmark,
Norway and Sweden the governments
have forbidden the raising of food prices
and have appointed relief commissions
with which the unions and Socialist
branches are cooperating.
In Belgium the unions have suspended
all dues and assessments and are using
their cooperative societies to feed the
people. Because the police of Brussels
and other cities have been summoned
to the colors the government officials
have called upon the unions to furnish
men to do police duty. The workers of
Italy continue to struggle hard to COM
pei the ruling class to remain neutral,
and the same is true in Spain and Port
ugal, where many meetings have been
ing to embrol those countries in the
monstrous disaster.
The effects of the war are now being
severely felt in Canada, where a dele
CATION of the Trades and Labor Con-
gress waited on the government at Ot-
tawa to demand that ways and means
be devised to assist the large numbers
who are unemployed. Further confer
ences are to be held to arrange plans
to provide relief.

accept the appointment OF state labor
commissioner of New York.
''In recognition of his long and valued
services to the printers union that or
ganization determined to express its ap-
probation in this practical and splendid
way Mr.. Lynch deserves all that he
has received, for he has been untiring in
his energy and devotion to the interest
of the Typographical Union.
During Mr.. Lynch's incumbency OF
the office many notable things have
been done. The Union Printers Home,
of which Colorado Springs is proud, has
been enlarged and its activities and its
usefulness greatly increased. The old
age pension system, one of the best
philanthropies which has ever been in
augurated by any body of workingmen,
has been successfully placed in opera.
ton. The training school for printers
has also been thoroughly established.
Many other benefits for the members OF
the craft have been adopted during Mr..
Lynch's term of service.
"From the standpoint of the general
public one of the notable features of
Mr.. Lynch's regime has been the com
plete aoption of the plan OF arbitra-
tion in the settlement of wage matters.
He has been heartily committed to this
plan and the results have shown from
year to year that it was eminently sue
cessful in practice as well as in theory.
There are fewer strikes in the printing
business than in any other line of work,
and this is largely due to the fact that
the principle of arbitration has been SO
thoroughly developed and cemented in
the last few years. If all unions pos
sessed the intelligence, and the breadth,
and the general desire for fairness which
is manifested by the Typographical
Union there would be very few labor
troubles in this country. The present
condition of general peace and harmony
throughout the country in this branch
of business is largely due to the fore
sight and judgment OF James NJ. Lynch,
backed, as he has been, by a large ma
iority of the members of his organiza-
ton He will undoubtedly find a wide
field of usefulness in the position which
he now occupies in the great state OF
New York"

At the Theaters
AT THE DENHAM.

Beginning next Sunday matinee an
other of the series of Belasco successes
will be presented by the Denham play
ers and continuing for the balance OF the
week, with the regular weekday matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
"The Woman" is the play and is from
the pen of William C. de Mile, and deals
ostensibly with political life in Wash
ington at the present time.
The story is based on the efforts OF
a coterie of politicians to force through
Congress bill which is opposed by the
progressive element, headed by young
congressman, who is making fight OF
principle against the bill. Every effort
is made to induce this young leader to
withdraw his opposition, but without
success. 1t is finally decided that the
only way to break down the opposition
is to discredit the progressive leader.
His opponents, however, discover that n
number of years ago there had been an
affair with a woman, and this can be
made to look as if he We're man with
out heart or without honor. They de-
termine to use this story to discredit
him and thereby kill the opposition to
their bill.
The only thing missing lis the woman's
name.
telephone switchboard operator in the
hotel where the principal characters live
attempts to get the link necessary to
make the plot effective. How she un-
dergoes third degree examination,
refuses bribes, laughs at threats and
finally triumphs, makes the story of the
play.
The action of the play is rapid, the
climax comes in logical and startling
succession, the dialogue is brisk and
clever and the heart-gripping story of
the play holds the audience in intense
excitement until the final climax.
In the production will be seen Blanche

Dewar, Adele Bradford, Carl Anthony,
Frank Denithorne, David Herblin. Pierre
Watkin, Claire Hatton, Carl Daintree
and Harry Fenwick.
At the matinee Wednesday the hand
