PORTO RICAN
STRIKE WON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - The
Porto Rico-American Tobacco COM
pany, branch of the tobacco trust,
has been defeated by its $1,000 men
and women strikers, one-half of
whom are organized and affiliated
to the Cigar Makers International
union. F. c. Roberts, a member of
the Typographical union of this city,
acted as mediator, representing the
federal department of labor.
The strike started last September,
when the company refused to raise
wages. The settlement includes rec
ognition of shop committees and a
three-year agreement which can be
opened once year, with 80 days
notice. Wage increases total $4O0,-
600. The strike was the most sue
cessful ever waged in Porto Rico,
and as an illustration of changed
conditions, the rules and arbitration
methods which were agreed to are
posted throughout the island and are
signed by officers of the company
and the Cigar Makers union.
In the six months prior to the
strike, the company made a profit of
over $1,000,000. The insular gov
eminent lost 100000 in revenue be-
cause of the strike.

AS the welfare of enlisted men in

we can assemble must be put into
the fight, but first of all that
strength is the power not of shells

1T NEVER RAINS

Just as the people Of this COM

Everett is going to have a big snip

The Journal is pleased to have the

DOUGHNUTS FOR DOUGHBOYS

Consider the doughnut. Described
by so-called humorists and paragraph
ers as a hole surrounded by dough, it
has never held, outside of New Eng
land, very high place among Amer
lean pastry fanciers. 1t has always
occupied the most inconSpiclous spot
in the bakery shop window. and the
sight of it on the menu has never
caused an American palate greatly to
vibrate or thrill in anticipation.
But that was in America and before
the war. Since then the great Amerl-
can doughnut has come into its own.
Scores of thousands of khaki-clad
