Cigarnakers
BY j. w. SANFORD.

Our non-union contemporaries are
finding it hard shedding of late owing
to the fact that some of their under
paid help have deserted them and
taken jobs in the union factories. Per-
suasive advertisements in the daily
papers for help by these unfair fac
tories bring few responses. All who
work will find out eventually that
| their interests are best protected in
organization of their fellow workers
in union factories.
the following compliments and sugges-
tions to the fair sex which they will
find easy of adoption:
| With the purchasing power" in her
pocket and the union label in her
heart, woman reigns with the olive
branch She is mistress of the sit
uation.
To the woman of the trade unionist
household the union label affords a
guarantee that the wages earned un-
der union conditions are expended
upon union products and for the main
tenance of union conditions to return
with interest in improved conditions
for all.
| The union label transforms the
women and children of the working
class into towers of strength. With
out it they are often elements of weak
ness in the struggle for bread.
The union label enlists and arms
in labor's cause those elements which
determine the issue of every cause in
civilized society-namely, the women
and children.
William Ehmke informs US of the
death of his 19-year-old daughter last
week. Mr.. Ehmke is an old-time
member of our union and has the
sympathy of our entire membership in
his bereavement.
Sam Love, for several years identi-
| fled with the Demanco Cigar Co., has
taken over this factory and will en-
large it in the very near future, and
expects to run about ten men to start
with. Sam is well known to the trade
in the city and will put out some
classy goods no doubt An up-to-date
union factory will be added to our
list.
George NJ. Edwards, our worthy
recording secretary, complained Tues
day night at the Trades Assembly Of
tooth ache and left before roll call.
George comes from Scottish ancestry
and admits that he did not take the
proper precautions few nights ago
after prolonged exhibition at an en-
tertainment on which occasion he ap-
peared in abbreviated kits.
In an endeavor to renew his youth,
one of our old and substantial men,
bers conceived the idea of starting at
the top. AS a result of his first ex-
pertinent his hirsute adornment has
taken on a raven hue. The farther
fact that a charming young lady
makes the applications makes the en-
deavor more interesting.
The advent of the robin is having
tendency of reducing our sick list
perceptibly in the last week, several
of our members reporting for work
with renewed energy.
Puritan Bond, Copyright, Ranger,
Best Value, Hagler's Rose, High Alti-
| tude and Silver Bow &c cigars are in
class by themselves, owing to the
| fact that they are made in non-union
factories. Our label does not appear
on these cigars.
There is more demand for label
cigars now than ever before. The
label represents quality goods made
by fairly paid labor at the same price
| paid for the other kind. Look for
the label when purchasing anything.
There is. principle behind 1t of in
terest to all who want square deal.

entitled "My Wife Has Gone to the
Country"
