ARE LOCKED OUT

The locked out Cigar Makers of Lam

the Otto Eisenohr Brothers, Inc, cigar
manufacturers of the Cinco scent cigar
have wagcd the most strenuous protest
against any cigar firm in this country
and Canada, because of a wilful wrong
did them. Organized labor everywhere
have been appealed to for sympathy
which has been granted most generously
and effectfully The protest has re-
ceivcd the Endorsement of A. +. of L.
convention of Baltimore Md, Pennsyl-
vania State Federation of Labor, Blue
Label League of Pennsylvania, hun
dreds of Central bodies and thousands
of local unions
This trouble began with this firm and
their Cigar Makers on March o. 1916,
with $50 cigar makers involved. Dis
satisfaction was brewing for months on
account of bad working conditions until
finally a climax was reached when sew
cral girls while eating their MONDAY
meal in nearby restaurant, wrote the
following notice on brown piece of
paper with a lead pencil Notice, cigar
makers, are we going to continue work
ing these small wrappers? Do you know
these small wrappers? DO you know
the result, nervous and physical wreck
is the result? Are we going to continue
cigar makers? Let us all say no. There
fore at o'clock let us all go to the
stock counter and demand more wrap

niflcant parchment was circulated
throughout the entire shop, when the
time came woman arose. another fol-
lowed, then man and as with clap
of thunder from clear sky the entire
force with the exception of three join
ed the ranks.
The superintendent was Immediately
notified; after hearing the complaints,
in short address he promised the en-
ployes to take the matter up with the
firm at their headquarters in Philadel-
phia. Their decision was quickly rem
dcred, after a few days there appeared
published insertion in the newspapers
to this effect That all cigar makers
working in their factory at Lancaster
would receive their pay envelopes and
should call on Saturday to get their
tools.
, Several attempts were made by COM
mittccs from the locked out cigar max
crs and Central Labor Union without
any consideration given them whatever
The firm as a matter of revenge movec
their factory from the city. If this ac
ton is not resented it is the belief OF
those mostly concerned it will ultimatcl,
enslave every cigar maker working il
other factories operated by this firm
For this reason this forceiul agitation
is hc'ns wagcd by 'hc cigar makers o.
Lancaster. They ask sympathy and Co
operation from every union member anC
their friends to smoke none but uniol
label cigars and to urge upon cigar deal
ers everywhere to handle same for bet

be retreating 50 hastily that they are
out of touch with the Russians.
1t Is rumored that the Austrians
are evacuating Lemberg.
The ruse practiced by Russians ut
the beginning of the present opera
tions is described as follows:
The Russians opened with severe
cannon fire which continued for sew
eral hours and then suddenly ceased.
The Austrians from past experience
expected an attack, which they pre-
pared to meet, advancing machine
guns and bomb throwers. bringing up
troops and even preparing cavalry for
a charge. These preparations were
watched by Russian observers.
Followed Austrians.
When the stage was properly set
instead of the expected advance, the
Russians let loose another shower of
shells much more violent than any of
the previous ones. causing terrific
slaughter and decentralization in the
opposing ranks, on the heels of which
they began n forward movement. The
small number of commanding officers
captured in proportion to the number
of soldiers is attributed by military ex-
perts to the confusion existing in the
Austrian armies, due to the sudden
ness and energy of the Russian drive.
1t shows, it is argued, that the officers
lost control of the men and abandoned
them to their fate at critical moments

called to avert a possible general strike
involving all the roads in the United
States, hinged tonight upon the decis-
ion of the railroad managers as to
whether they would offer a specific
compromise proposal and adjournment
was taken until tomorrow when the
managers will report whether they
are prepared to present a definite
proVOStion.
Go Into Session.
The railroad managers, Immediately
following the adjournment, went into
a legislative session that continued
until late tonight. Leaders of the
men announced that no matter what
the offer of the railroads, it will be
rejected unless all existing double
compensation rules are retained. They
are willing to compromise on the
other issues involved-the eight hour
day and time and a half for overtime.
In their tentative compromise offer
the railroads have indicated their
willingness to grant the demands of
the men on condition that the double
compensation rules be abolished. The
men declare that such action would
not only nullfy 25 years of effort, but
also seriously impair their earning
power.
Late tonight the railroad managers
authorized the statement that it was
highly probable no counter proposition
would be made to the workers. The
leaders of the railroad brOtherhoods
also announced that they expected the
railroads would fail to meet their de-
mands and are ready to leave for their
homes and send out call to vote on
a general strike.
