Street Car Men

At the last meeting of the Amalga-
mated Street Railway Mems Associa-
ton, Division No. TAG, the blue label
of the Cigarmakers and patronizing
of home industry were strongly en-
dorsed. A resolution covering the sub
jects was unanimously adopted. The
resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, The Cigarmakers Union
is making an effort to increase its
membership in the city of Denver;
and
Whereas, There are hundreds of
thousands of cigars non-union made
and sold in the city of Denver, these
cigars being the output of exploited
women and child labor, all of them
made in trust" shops in the East;
and
Whereas, These cigars are thrown
into competition with Denver made
union label cigars; be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Amalgamated Street Railway
Mems Association, in regular meeting
assembled, hereby pledge to smoke no
cigars that do not bear the blue label
of the Cigarmakers international
Union.
"That we will do everything in our
power to aid and assist in the build
ing up of Denver's home industries.
THAT our delegate to the Trades
Assembly be requested to report to
that body the action taken by the
Amalgamated Street Railway Mems
Association in reference to the blue
label of the Cigarmakers Union.
THAT our secretary be requested
to secure the publication of these reso-
lutions in The Denver Labor Bulletin" +"

Cigarnakers
By j. W. SANFORD.

The saying that nothing succeeds
like success is being demonstrated in
the cigar line just now. All manu-
facturers are turning away orders or
only sending out part of their orders.
Smokers are learning that union Gig
ars made in Denver are equal to the
best.
Circular letter sent out by the De-
troit Cigarmakers Union tells tale
almost unbelievable of how the big
trust and non-union manufacturers
get rich at the expense of child labor.
Low wages and system of fining
them which still further reduces their
already small weekly pay. La Resta
and Cinco are two brands of cigars
made under these conditions. If those
that smoke them knew how they were
made they surely would not do it. The
union label is guarantee against such
conditions as referred to.
Charles G. Ceperly left this week
for San Diego, where he expects to
get work as machinists helper. Charlie
says he likes this work better than
cigar making.
