BOSTON CIGARMAKERS
WILL START FACTORY
Strike on for Six Weeks-Man
ufacturers to Make Cigars by
Machinery in Newark.

Boston, Aug. 22.-To take care of the
union cigar trade in New England
caused by the refusal of Boston cigar
manufacturers to grant their demands
for an increase of 81 per thousand, the
employees of eight large factories, mem
bers of Boston Cigar Makers Union
No. 81 decided at a recent meeting to
start factory of their own for the
manufacture of high grade cigars.
The strike has been on now for six
weeks, and every means have been ex-
hausted to settle it but without sue
cess. The last hope in their efforts in
this direction was frustrated few days
ago when the manufacturers announced
that a building sufficiently large to
house all the concerns affected had been
engaged in Newark, IN. J., and that ma
chinery had already been installed for
manufacturing machine made cigars.
More than $500 are affected as a re-
suit of the Boston strike, and the de-
cesion to start a factory on their own
account is for the double purpose of
furnishing work for as many cigar
makers as possible, and to supply the
trade in New England with union made
cigars.

Nov, here's the point, here is the
milk in the milk-shake. Our little
mayor, Dayy Fitz, what has he been do
ing all this time for the poor people !?
While the cities have mentioned are
selling ham and bacon and tapioca and
catsup, New Haven's mayor, after nu-
merous committee meetings, sessions
with the far-famed Chamber of Com
merce (Which sounds better than a
Business Mems Association) tells the
world that New Haven is to get from
the government a big supply of lemon
and vanilla extract. Hence the jubilee
Of course, there. is to be some, other
non-essentia1 stuff such as canned cher
ries, canned roast beef, tomatoes, etc.,
but the real headliner of Our consign-
ment from the We1l-knoWn war depart
ment is lemon extract.
eff you will find any students in the
Yale labs at this time they will tell you
that lemon extract is made UP of some
lemon and 90 per cent. alcohol. just
what the percentage of alcohol is in
vanilla extract do not know. I think
our mayor fell down in one thing, as
he neglected to include Janica ginger in
the consignment. This omission will
certainly estrange the Jamica ginger
vote if he runs for Office again. But the
lemon extract boys will be strong for
him.
II had two nephews in the army and
they were in the great Eighty-second
Division, which, according to them,
really won the war. According to these
soldier men, the cooks in that division
had great quantities of lemon extract,
but none of it ever found its way into
the puddings. Whenever the cooks
wanted to celebrate they took shot at
the lemon extract and they claimed that
they got the same kind of action from
it that the hurry-up needle gives. After
a few shots at the extract, they said
