Bakers
tBy Ray Lowderback.)

The striking bakers are still out at
the Campbell-Sells, Macklem and Old
Homestead bakeries, and are deter
mined to stay out until recognition of
the union is given. They are operat-
ing their plants with non-union labor
and are SO proud of the fact that they
caused a write-up in one of the daily
now operating at about two thirds of
their former capacity with non-union
help. Which ought to be enough to
convince organized labor that the firms
are not only antagonistic to the bakery
workers, but seem to be proud of the
fact that they are running non-union
firms. Mr.. Union Man and Woman,
will you support such an institution
Remember if you did not support them
that it would not be possible for them
to do much business, and it would not
be long until they would change their
attitude.
The bakers have opened up bakery
to supply the restaurant trade and are
making some progress. You can help
it along by requesting your restaurant
or boarding house to handle the bread
of the Union Bakery. The phone is
Main $685.. 1t is being managed by
Brother Jacob Muzik who is an expe-
rienced baker. 1t is quite likely in the
near future that the bakery workers,
with the assistance of the central body,
will incorporate and sell shares to
start a first class up-to-date bakery.
A committee has this in charge at
present and the prospects look good for
cooperative bakery in the very near
future. In the meantime the bakers
are still on strike and they ask the
moral support of the working men and
women in their fight against the three
large bakeries. Remember they closed
down for fifteen days and compelled
you to get along without their prod
uct, so we are asking you now to try
and get along without it, and if you
do this the fight of the bakery workers
will be won and the right to be a
union man given US.

Cigarnakers
(BY j. W. Sanford.)

(BY j. w. Sanford.)
Installation of officers for the ensu-
ing six months was the first order OF
business to be taken up at the regular
meeting Tuesday night. The vacation
season, however, was the cause OF
small attendance.
Charles Hornburg and H. F. Fritz
were elected delegates to the Colorado
State Federation of Labor convention
to be held at Boulder, Colo, August
6. G. E. Maasen as alternate.
Membership statement for June
shows a net increase of nine members
for our local, 365 appearing on our
roll June 1, with 374 at the close of
the month. All working and pros
poets good for the future.
Financial statement gave us bal
ance June l of s1,229.3O and receipts
from collection of dues and assess
$S11, giving a total of $2,04O.3O. Ex-
penditures were divided as follows
Sick benefits, $173.55; death benefits,
81 ,236.50; officers salaries and hall rent
S139; S22.25 going for tax, etc., max
ing a total expenditure of $1,571.30,
leaving a balance of S469.
Each member of the union has been
appointed committee of one to call
their dealers attention to the fact that
the Dohlman Cigar company and the
Hagler Cigar company do not employ
members of our union which accounts
for their cigars not bearing the union
label. They prefer to manufacture
with cheaper labor and with the as
sistance of machines. Puritan Bond
and Copyright are two of the SC ci-
gars made by the Dohlman company,
which do not bear the label. Hagler's
Rose, Ranger and Best Value are three
of the SC cigars made by the Hagler
Cigar company that do not bear the
label.
Look for the label when purchasing
anything. If you knew the conditions
under which non-union goods are made
you would not have to be told to look
for the label.
Letters from George Waddell who
is running a Buckeye" at Douglas,
Wyo., informs US that when business
is dull he locks up shop and goes
fishing, trout being plentiful up there.
H. Mangelinck writes us from Lyons
that the hot weather does not pene-
trate that far. Henry is up there for
little rest and will return in few
weeks.
Jack Shively, formerly proprietor of
the Civic Center cigar store at 925
Eighteenth street, is making prepara-
tion to leave this week for Great Falls,
Mont, where good job awaits him
Jack says he has been too long in one
place and thinks change will do him
lot of good. We wish him good
luck wherever he goes.
An amendment to our sick and death
benefit law allowing for the payment
of the benefits in case of sickness or
death resulting from military service
will be presented to our members for
approval shortly. AS our laws now
stand no sick or death benefit could
be collected under the circumstances.

City Extension Without Localized Referendum

Then why not Baltimore? She is not
asking for anything extraordinary.
She is merely seeking what is natural
ly of her own creation. 1t is like a
mother asking for the possession OF
her own children. She has made the
conditions about her; she has produc-
ed the surrounding zone; she has fed
and matured the areas resting now
against her own body. All she asks is
that her own be given to her, and that
reasonable room be included to admit
of future expansion.
That is what the cities in other big
States have asked. and those States
have been big enough to do what is
right They have granted what justice
said was sound, and their cities, in con-
sequence, have been leaping forward.
Are MaryIanders of Different Type?
Are Marylaners of a different type
from the big citizenship of other
States? Are our people too little to do
big things? Are we laggards? Are we
moral towards? Are we lacking in the
faculties that do noble things?
Can it be possible that we are led
by the nose? Have we been ringed and
chained by petty partnership OF pig
gish politicians? Haven't we manhood
enough to do the right thing without
having to get the consent of a small
bunch of Baltimore and Anne Arundel
county agitators? Are we so bound in
slavery to things political that we
can't rise to the loftiness of things
statesmanlike Why pride ourselves on
being Marylanders unless we can
show that Marylanders are real men?
Why boast of our Maryland manhood
if that manhood can't measure up to
manly deeds?
The City Extension proposition in
wolves a simple solution of question
of Justice Surely if we are not strong
enough to do the just and right thing
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

Getty extension" is State question
1t is a proposition in which every
Marylander is interested. 1t involves
question of right. 1t involves question
of justice.
The State ought to establish it by
the quickest attainable means. There
should be no trif1ings or subterfuges.
There should be no attempt to kill 1t
by indirection if the proposition is too
virtuous to be killed openly
If that be true, what is the sense of
delaying or jeopardizing extension by
suggesting referendum? We all know
human nature well enough to under
stand that the average man who is get
ting a benefit without shouldering a
responsibility is not likely to fasten
upon his shoulders the responsibility
if he can avoid it. 1t matters not how
unfair it is on his part to dodge his
responsibilities he is going to dodge
them if he can. Even so with those liv-
ing in the area marked for annexation.
Those people at present are enjoying
all the benefits of Baltimore city life.
Everything that the urbanite has the
suburbanite has to some degree. He is
not of the city, legally" simply be-
cause he is across fictitious boundary
line. And, yet, he is distinctly a part
of the citys urban life.
This Is a Matter of State Concern.
Does any fair-minded man believe
that the proper thing to do is to refer
this proposition to the proposed annex
areas alone? Can anybody fail to see
what the ultimate end would be? Can
anyone fail to see that such process
would simply be an indirect plan for
defeating the proposition? What, then,
is the sense of talking referendum, and
limiting that referendum solely to the
new areas involved?
This is a matter of State concern. 1t
is statewide, not local, in its bearings.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

gressive have extended their city linn
its without having recourse to refer
endum Under the impulse of an enter
prising spirit and sense of justice,
they have added the surrounding zone
to their big cities. They have annexed
all the area which was "citifed" in its
nature, with enough additional terri
tory to take care of future expansions.
Those states have seen the Importance
of loosening up the belt around their
cities and they have done so by direct
act of the Legislature, without the in
tervention of referendum. That lib
eral policy has been of great business
advantage and national prestige to the
cities enlarged and also to the States
which did the charging.
Greater New York, Buffalo and
Rochester.
The great State of New York ex-
tended the limits of three of its big cit
les by act of the Legislature, without
referendum. Greater New York, now
the largest city in the world, as well
as Buffalo and Rochester were all
three made larger by the people of the
State through their legislative body.
Ohio added quite an extensive area to
the city of Cleveland, sufficient in ex-
panse to take care of developments
during many years to come. There was
no referendum. Missouri has enlarged
the thriving city of ST. Louis five diff
ferent times without once using the
referendum Louisiana has spread out
New Orleans into 100 square miles of
area, and that too was done without
a referendum.
Our own State has done the same
thing with her own cities. Cumberland,
Hagerstown and Annapolis have all
three been enlarged by the Maryland
LEGISLATURE without referendum. Some
of the smaller Gowns have likewise
been enlarged
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-12-28

The thing for the Maryland General
Assembly to do is to proceed at once
to effectuate its accomplishment with
out recourse to a referendum. The Leg
islature should openly proclaim its be-
lief in the righteousness of the propos
ition and it should then have the manly
courage to live up to that righteous
ness.
There is no unfairneSS or injustice
to the people involved if this method is
pursued They are not being injured.
They are not being deprived of a sin
gle legitimate privilege or a single
legal right The Legislature will not
be foisting upon them distasteful
form of government AS a matter of
fact, they will be more direct partici-
pants in the city government than they
now are in the county governments.
The governmental change, so far as
the annexed areas are concerned, will
be for the better, not for the worse.
The annexed districts will have more
positive and influential voice in their
own immediate local welfare than they
have ever had before.
Many Cities Enlarged Without Refer
endum.
Nor is this process of city extern
sion without a referendum anything
new Indeed, more annexations have
been made without the referendum
than with it. Those who recommend
the referendum don't do so under the
promptings of justice. They do so be-
cause they hope th~t the selfshness OF
mankind will induce those whose re-
sponsibilities will be called into play
to kill the measure so as to dodge the
responsibilities The purpose of ref
erendum is to kill the measure, not
test its acceptability.
In this connection, it should not be
forgotten that other progressive States
which wanted their cities to be pro-
