The Cigarmakers Convention

And this could be attributed to various causes.
There were I. W. w., Syndicalists, Anarchists,
Communists, Socialists and conservatives at the
convention, and no type of union seemed able to
satisfy all. In fact, the most violent discussion
arose when provisional preamble and constitution
were presented. The preamble stated that the
struggle of the workers is political as well as an
industrial one The class conscious tobacco workers
recognize the class struggle, the fight between
workers as class and the bosses as a class, and
will fight for the overthrow of the capitalist class
by industrial and political means The constitution
merely provided for an industrial union with
out for the moment specifying the type.
These two propositions were bitterly fought
by the Spanish workers, who are splendid class
conscious fighters, and may be depended on in any
struggle. But as syndicalists and anarchists, they
would not accept the struggle on the political field,
declaring that it could all be taken care of on the
industrial Furthermore, they would not bind them
selves to centralized form of industrial unonism,
demanding shop autonomy.
A new industrial union was born at the con-
vention, the "Amalgamated Tobacco Workers of
America. Workers in other unions and all the
unorganized, numbering more than 10000 men
and women, are to be invited to join the new body.
The immediate demands are work by the week; A.
hour week; uniform wages even distribution of
work during times of depression; shop committees
and committees for education and propaganda.

By Tom Clark.

The drift to industrial unionism cannot be
stopped The chaos now ruling industry by which
one union scabs on the other, and all of them are
beaten by the bosses, has opened the eyes of all
classes of workers They see, or are beginning
to see that unless they are able to build compact
organization, embracing all the workers of an in
dustry, they will be unable to fight the bosses.
The strike of the cgarmakers which took place
last year. was lost because only small portion of
the cigarmakers are organized the result being
that the market is flooded with goods made in open
shops And these scab cigars and tobacco pro-
ducts are smoked by union men, who pride them
selves on being union men! It was clear, there
fore, that something had to be done to organize
the whole industry.
This step was taken at the instance of the
membership of the Shop Institution organization
of New York and vicinity, which called special
convention of all tobacco workers. The convention
met in New York on Dec. A and was attended by
about $50 delegates
There were assembled all kinds Of fighters
and fighters are needed in this industry. When
one considers whom and what the tobacco wor-
kers have to fight-the tobacco trust and seve-
raj powerful concerns when one considers that
the trust recently declared dividend of 55 per-
cent, and, in spite Of the high prices still being
charged for tobacco goods is trying to reduce wa
ges; and when one considers that workers are being
discharged without any appeal, 1t becomes clear
that only powerful organization can remedy mat
ters. Of course, there is the International Cgarma-
kers Union, unit of the A. F. of L., and typical Of
the A. F. Of L. But the spirit of it is such that
there are five times as many unorganized workers
as organized
Hence something had to be done. The advo-

AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND WELL AT.
TENDED CONVENTION

The annual convention of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union was
held in the Methodist Protestant
Church in Union Bridge, Thursday,
September Sth. At 10.45 a. m. the
County President, Mrs. Philena Fen
by, called the convention to order and
announced the hymn, my Faith
Looks Up to Thee" with Miss Marie
Senseney at the organ. After the hymn
Mrs. Haslup, State President, led in
a very comprehensive and fervent
prayer. The Bible lesson was the LAG
Psalm. In the absence of Mrs. Blanche
Magee, the recording secretary who
has been i'll for a long time, Mrs.
John Bowers was elected to fill her
place. The press superintendent Mrs
VIM. H. Bennett, VISA also detained at
home, and Mrs. D. F. Shipley was
named to fill her place. The morning
session of the convention was given
to the bearing of reports from the
superintendent of departments, also
the county secretaries and treasur-
ers' reports. These last reports show
ed gain of So in membership, the
largest gain made in any county in

morning session which were adopted.
Mrs. Lydia l.. Smith welcomed the
convention in very neat and appro-
pirate address and in closing urged
the ladies to seriously consider the
fact that by the passage of the 10TH
Amendment women are now really
and truly citizens of the great repub-
lie, but the privilege of the ballot HAD
increased their responsibilities many
times, and she urged the women to let
principle and not party or politics
govern their actions, and by wise
council and judicius judgment prove
that they are worthy citizens and by
so doing prove to the world that the
United States had taken. step forward
in the right direction by adding the
18th Amendment to the constitution.
Mrs. Emory Ebaugh responded in a
very fitting and appropriate way.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: president, Mrs. Philena Fen
by, of Finksburg; president, Mrs.
John Harris; corresponding secre-
tary, Mrs. D. F. Shipley; recording
secretary, Mrs. Blanche Magee of
Sandyville, treasurer; Mrs. Luther
Bare, of Westminster.
Perhaps the most entertaining fea-
ture of the convention was the exer-
else given by the Loyal Legion under
the leadership of Mrs. Gussie, Biz
card, superintendent of Loyal Legion
work for the county. Each child who
took part deserves special mention
and reflected great credit upon Miss
Marie Senseney, who trained them.
After the children's exercise Mrs.
Haslup closed the convention with a
plea for each person present to work
for law enforcement and to support
only such men at the polls who
pledged themselves as standing for an
law for Maryland.

THREE FIRES AT
FINKSBURG
TWO BARNS BURNED AND 4 HOUSE
DAMAGED-ALL FIRES OF AN INCEN-
DIARY ORIGIN.

F1nksburg citizens were aroused to
high pitch over three fires that had
occurred there within the last week
Friday night the barn of Samuel Fra
IZier, Sunday afternoon the Mansion
House of Misses Fanny and Ellen
Gray and Tuesday morning the new
bank barn of Lawrence Doyle.
The fire of the Frazier barn was
from an incendinary origin. 1t is re-
ported that a man was seen striking
a match at the barn and run. All the
contents were consumed, except some
harness. The loss is partly covered by
insurance. Mr.. Frazier was sitting on
his porch when a neighbor notified
him that his barn was-affre.
A fire of undetermined origin which
broke out at the colonial brick man
sion of the Misses Fanny and Ellen
Gray, for a time threatened to destroy
the building. The Misses Gray were
entertaining company when the fire
starting on the south wing porch,
which was destroyed, spread to the re-
ception hall. Fire companies re-
sponded to telephone calls for assist
ance and soon after their arrival had
the blaze under control. In the mean
time residents of the neighborhood
formed a bucket brigade and fought
the blaze. The damage will be about
$500, covered by insurance.
The large bank barn on the farm of
Lawrence Doyle was discovered on
fire about 4.45 Tuesday morning. The
fire is supposed to have started from
lantern exploding. All his hay and
straw with 800 bushels of wheat were
consumed. The loss will be $4,000. The
barn was used for his COWS. His
horses were kept in an adjoining
barn. Mr.. Doyle arose shortly after 4
o'clock and hung a lantern in the
barn while he went to pasture to
drive in the COWS. He had not gone
far when the blaze broke out, and by
the time firemen arrived, it was be-
yond control. They succeeded in pre-
venting the blaze from spreading to
adjoining buildings.
The Westminster, Glyndon and
Reisterstown. fire companies respond
ed to all three of the fires and saved
the adjoining buildings. At the Doyle
fire Westminster fire company was
called back the second time to put
out smouldering debris which was re-
kindled by the high wind. A line OF
hose was run from a stream Of water
and the fire extinguished in one hour.
