CIGMACO CIGARS ON
MARKET

A new cigar known as the Cigmaco
has been introduced on the Hamilton
market. This cigar is manufactured
by the COOPERATIVE Cigar Company
Of Third street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The men and women operating this
plant are the cigar makers who went
on strike in several of the factories
short time ago in that city Every
one is a member of the Cigar Makers
Union, and are the best of meehan-
les in that line Another one of their
brands is the Three C C C's, which
stands for Choice, Classy and Clean.
Mr. Charles Towner is one of their
statesmen. He is well known by the
trades unionists in Hamilton, and if
he says the cigars are frst-class you
can bank on it that they are. Many
dealers throughout the city are handl-
ing these cigars. The company is
now trying to get one of our local
jobbers to carry their cigars. The
indoor fair committee of the new la
DOR temple purchased some of the
cigars and are disposing of them this
week. If you want good smoke try
one manufactured by this new con-
Germ.

COAL OWNERS
GOUCE
Increased Price in ''Antici.
patton" of Wage Increase

New ork Testimony submitted to
the United States senate committee
on reconstruction, at hearings in this
city, showed that New England states
and New York are each taxed ST.
100000 annually in excessive anthra-
cite coal prices
Coal prices were raised ST and up
to SLIGO a ton last April in "antici-
patton of wage increases to miners
which finally only cost the coal owners
from As to so cents a ton
Seven companies control about rs
to so per cent of the entire hard coal
output
1t was shown that wholesalers also
iuggle prices by selling to each other,
taking ST a ton profit Most Of this
coal never changed hands, as the
deals We're paper transactions"
W. II Williams, vice president Of
two large coal companies, testified
that prices were increased $40 and
$1.60 a ton last April "in anticipation
Of raises to miners" but he could not
remember" what the miners wage adj
vance had cost the company
The witness said that the coal own
ers would be 100000 or 100000 in
the hole" if the miners got the ad-
ditional increase of approximately is
per cent which they are now demand
ing.
you mean you will be out that
much on the net profits you are now
getting ?" remarked Senator Edge Of
New Jersey
T. R. Schumacher, of East Boston
Coal Company, Kingston, Pa, could
not remember" when questioned, and
was ordered to produce his books. He
said his company's profit last year
was only 2,400 and that he paid an
income tax of $4,000
Sure about that replied Senator
Edge, adding, did you cheat your
self?"

FORCED TO QUIT
Ants american Plan
Fails in Texas Town

Baumont, Texas.-This city was
one of the first in Texas to start the
present non-union shop movement
that employers call "the American
plan" Organized electricians were
forced on the street, and their return
to the shop of the largest contractor
shows how the antis work.
The firm informed the union that
if it included its rules in a union
contract, and filed same with the
firm, the firm would accept same, but
could not sign it because of an agree
ment with the non-union crowd
The union complied with the re-
quest, but before the men returned
t. work the non-unionists heard of
the arrangement and notified the
firm that it could not return the
men at an increased wage without
losing its forfeit money. The firm
was also notified that in the future it
would have trouble securing contracts
The firm then called on the unions
officials and made this proposal:
IF you will return all the men to
work Monday morning at 8 at the
old rate of So day, one minute after
8 o'clock we will put into effect a
scale of SO day"
The men agreed while the antis
continue fooling themselves with
preachments about "liberty" and the
right to run their own business"

Labor Responds to Open
Shop Challenge
Bethlehem Policy Arouses
Storm in Washington
Congress May
Intervene

Washington. Representative Frank
Murphy of Ohio said last Friday he
is considering introduction of a reso-
luton to have the federal trade com
mission investigate the policy Of the
Bethlehem Steel Co, which refuses to
sell fabricated steel to New York and
Philadelphia contractors who use
union labor.
This policy was outlined BY Eugene
I G Grace, president of Bethlehem, tes-
tifying in the New York building
probe
Grace said his concern favors the
open shop" and will sell steel only
to contractors who use open shop
methods
This policy is un-American,7 said
Murphy. 1t seems like a violation
of antitrust laws.
viii Delay Building
1T will delay building at a time
when the nation is far behind in hous-
ing
"The Bethlehem Steel Co, with its
millions Of backing, should not be per
mitted to coerce contractors into en-
plcying only non-union labor
Grace and other witnesses probably
will be called before the senate com
mittee on reconstruction and produc-
ton, which is planning to make ma
tlonal investigation of building trades.
The committee first will go into the
coal industry as it affects the build
ing industry, and then will turn to in
vestigation of the housing shortage.
Federation Aroused
The American Federation of Labor
scored Grace and his company's policy
today. Grace's statement was hailed
as proof Of the charge recently made
by President Samuel Gompers that
some employers Of the country are
cooperating to destroy collective bar
gaining.
John Donlin, president of the
Building Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor, ac-
cepted Grace's challenge
"If they want war, the building
trades will give it to them," he said
Furthermore, Wen win They can't
Put up buildings without our men,
and our men won't work under the
non-union shop system"

TROOPS IN MINE ZONE

Charleston, w. Va.-Civil war con-
tinues in the mine strike zone of this
state and federal troops are again
in control at the request of Governor
Cornwall.
The state executive has permitted
these sections of West Virginia to be
ruled by mine guards and Baldwin
Feltz detectives.
Strikers, their wives and children
arc housed in tents furnished by the
United Mine Workers. Martial law
has been declared by the soldiers and
all public meetings of the strikers
have been prohibited.
Every legal and moral guarantee to
workers has been set aside in the mine
owners campaign to crush the Miners
Union and drive these workers back
to work as individuals.

attention to its non-union campaign
Two of its representatives appeared
on the streets of Martinez in an auto
mobile They were dressed in the

made speeches on the street corners
These attempts to capitalize a pa

as compared with 222 in the same
states in August, 1919.

Declaring emphatically in favor of
the principles of the open shop and

associati ton took a definite stand this
afternoon on one of the paramount
questio of the day. The matter,
brought before the convention short
ly after 2 o'clock by the resolutions
committee, was passed by a rising
vote and appeared to be unanimous.
1t was declared that menace to IN
dustry and OF the nation was caused
by unprincipled and radical socalled
labor leaders and that these leaders
were causing dissension between EN-
ployer and employee. Therefore it was
resolved that the Manufacturers Is

TO the principles of the open shop;
that the association members will
not negotiate with workers who may
be on strike and the association MEM
bers present pledge loyal support TO
the endorsement of these principles"
Sioux City was the unanimous
choice for the next convention.
Denounce Outlaw Principles.
Another resolution adopted was in
denunciation of the recent OUTLAW
strike, which was termed a menace
to the prosperity of the country as
well as to credit; that it holds up
the products of the farm and OF the
factory and causes higher prices
The resolution called for action on
the part of the secretary in telegraph
ing representatives and senators at
ashington, begging them to do all
possible TO hasten some solution OF
the transportation difficulties.

The last resolution proposed called
for the establishment of an Iowa
railway commission which would
amend and supercede all existing
