The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-01-16
New England.

HARTFORD, CT., Dec. 80, 1919.
1t can be truthfully stated, basing
the statement upon facts and not upon
supposition, that the tobacco industry,
in all its branches, in Connecticut and
New England generally, has enjoyed
an exceptionally prosperous year and
the outlook for the approaching new
year points to an equally prosperous
year.
The new year also finds every tobac-
co warehouse in the Valley open and in
operation for the season. At least half
a dozen have opened during the past
fortnight. Warehouses that have hith-
erto been unoccupied. have opened up
this season and this in itself is an in
dication that the tobacco industry is
booming.
Connecticut tobacco growers are ex-
,periencing a hard time keeping their
help at the present wage scale. The
workers are fast going into other lines
of business and entering Hartford shops
and factories. This condition has in
creased to such an alarming extent the
past fortnight that some growers feel
it may seriously affect the price Of to-
bacco on the open market because the
farmer has to pay unprecedented wages
to keep any kind of help nowadays

Break With Workers Widens as
Union Threatens to Tie Up
Entire Industry.

NEW YORK. Dec. s.---A break be-
tween the Clothing Manufacturers
Association of New York and their
65, 900 employees widened today. with
industrial warfare as the immediate
prospect.
The manufacturers, whose ultima
tum for establishment of the piece
work system, reduced wages and the
right to "hire-and. fire" was rejected
by the employees, countered by declar-
ing they would have no further ne
gotiations with the workers union
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America.
1t is the manufacturers declared
intention to run an open shop, to
continue filling orders as fast as they
can get them, and "to give employ
ment to their workers upon a basis
which will insure good wages and
make competition with other mark cts
possible" Only 10000 OF the $1,000
workers are now employed.
The manufacturers declare the sit
uation was precipitated by New York
manufacturers to compete with firms
at Rochester, N. Y, and other cloth
ing centers, where wages are less.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Clothing Workers Union. protested
at the 'high-handed" move by en-
ploycrs to read him and his organ
ization out Of discussion. He threat
ened that unless there was a back
down by the employers, the night
would extend to all the 100000 men
and women employed in the New York
clothing industry within N few days
Union officials still were hopeful
that employers would see the ad-
vantage of conserving to the proposal
OF establishing joint committee
with an impartial chairman. to can
vass all conditions in the clothing
industry and determine how increased
production can best be achieved.

Here was the nearest approach To

PRISONER WHEN BABY CAME.
Terrence was in prison when the
little one came. He had looked for

such a wistful longing. II seemed
ing him into the places where every
thing must be cast aside for country.
and II only added TO his honorable
courage when he was given one more
tie to cut asunder for his country.
"He first saw Marie when she was
six weeks old. He was then in jail
at Belfast. He had been moved there
from Dundalk Jail, where he had
been a prisoner when Marie was born.
Terence was denied much home life.
He had little opportunity to watch
