Cigarnakers
CBy J. w. sanford.)

Mr.. Sol. Sontheimer, general organ
izer for the Cigarmakers' Information
al, dropped in on US few days ago
Unexpectedly and has been busy ever
since in the interest of label goods
generally. The able manner in which
he explains to his hearers the vital
necessity of patronizing the labels of
all crafts is more than worth the time
taken up and a hearty handicap is al
"Old Sol," as he is known to his
friends, however, did not make allow
ance for difference in the Colorado
temperature between the days and
nights and as a result has taken on
good deal more cold than he is ac-
customed to, which to some extent
has interfered with his work. He will
spend several days around Denver,
after which he intends visiting the
southern part of the state in the in
terest of our union label and incident
ally all others.
Communication just received from
our old friend, William Feinauer, sec
retary of the local Cigarmakers Union
been selected secretary of the Cooper
ative stores recently started by the
labor and railroad unions and that he
has given up the trade for the pres
ent. In the course of his remarks he
takes occasion to compliment The Bull
letin as real live labor paper and
well worth having Bill sure knows a
good thing when he sees it. He re-
ports trade good in his locality.
Philip Cohen, an old-time member of
No. 129, died suddenly on the night of
the 4th instant, due to an attack of
heart trouble. He leaves a widow
and three small children. The fun
eral was taken charge of by a Jewish
lodge, of which he was also men,

Yes, we attended the benefit dance
/ for Tom Moonev and co-defendants at
the Mining Exchange last Monday eve
and had splendid time. We hope
/ that there will be sufficient funds
raised to be of material benefit in this
worthy cause.
We received another communica-
ton from the Employers association,
of which Mr. Herb George is presi-
dent, urging us to speed up a little
more ''if necessary" but we do not
think it is necessary at this time for
there are a lot of people out of work
now that would like to have a chance.
1t will be time enough TO speed up
when everyone is steadily employed.
. Inc bulletin Is also gwen a roast IOT
its loyalty to organized labor. We be-
lieve that The Bulltin is perfectly able
to defend its stand in this instance.
"Old SOL" and our local repre-
sentative. feels that after thoro con-
sideration, Typographieal Union No.
80 is entitled to first prize for the per-
feet. prompt and courteous manner in
which they accord the privilege of
their floor to visitors. This is not
meant, however. as a criticism on any
of the other unions that We visited. for
we were welcomed wherever we have
been. All unions should make this a
point-it tends to friendlier feelings
among US.
If you have an idea that the lady OF
the house is going to include cigars in
that Christmas offering, tell her in q
roundabout way that cigars from 10 in
box UP to so can be had with the
union label on them. Every little bit
helps. Let the non-union people smoke
scab cigars if they want to. and like
them.

Hagler's Rose and High Altitude ci-
gars are not union made. Don't for
get that, when you buy a cigar. Some
dealers push them because they are a
trifle cheaper at wholesale.
