STRIKERS EXPLAIN WAGE OF 20
YEARS AGO TOO LOW TODAY

One thousand workers who have
not been given a raise in wages for
20 years are on strike at the cigar
factory of the Havana-AmeTican, Co.,
18th and Robey sts-
The men walked out when their
offer of arbitration and their plea
that they could not live on the wage
scale Of 20 years ago were unheed-
ed. Affected are: 500 cigaTmakers,
$50 strippers, 80 banders and about
$50 packers, clerks and miscella-,
neOus workers.
The stTippeTs did win a strike a
few days ago. They secured a raise
of 5 cents a day upon their wage of
from 81 to SO a week. Strippefs in
other factories get SO a week.
The banders get 81 a week, but
have to band at least 5000 cigars
a day. They want sc. cents per /, 900,
which is 3 to 10 cents per /, 900 less
than is paid in the average shop.
FOilers get an average 2215 cents
per 900. They want 2712 cents, as
against 35 to 40 cents paid in many
shops.
What the cigaTmakers are asking
for will average an increase of 81 a
week in their wages. If they get this
they will still be getting SIS to $40 a
week below what a union cigarmakeT
is supposed to get
An oddity of the strike is that the
cigarmakers are actually striking for
longer hours The firm is working
it's men but Az days a week, though
it is working its shops in other cities
full time. This seems 10 be because

Germany will, we may hope, destroy
the military autocracy, and substitute
when the eatoclysm OF war is past, an

be interesting also ta draw the con-

French and the German cmperors. But
this would require, not only space
which Is not at our disposal here but
a knowledge Of the German emperor
which Is hardly possible before his
career has been run. certainly not pos
