TRUSTS RAPIDLY GRABBING CONTROL.
 OF CIGAR MAKING
Only Strong Drive for Union Label Goods Can Save
 Industry.

The Blue Label of the Cigar Makers Unoin has long been bene- fit to cigar smokers for it is an assur- ance that union cigars are made in clean, sanitary factories by healthy, skilled adult white workers. It is in teresting to note that this labels adoption came in response to what amounted to a public demand for same and that present conditions in the cigar industry are such that the public should insist more than ever that cigars bear the Blue Union Label
 Tn the early eighties many non union cigars were made by Chinese, prison and child labor and often un- der the filthy tenement house system. Then as now union cigars were made under healthful and sanitary condi- tions and union men received fair wages; non-unionists did not. Many smokers desired to avoid cigars made under non-union and unhealthful con- ditions, but there being no mark on the box to differentiate the union product from the nonunion this was not always possible until the Cigar Makers adopted union label in 1881 and thereafter affixed one to every box of union made cigars. As a re- suit Chinese, prison, child and tene- ment house labor were practically eliminated from the cigar industry and a great public service was rem dered thereby.
 Cigars are still made under the non-union system, however, and to abolish this condition by organizing the unorganized cigar workers pre- sents a formidable task. Neverthe less 1t is believed that this can be accomplished through the medium of the union label which can be made a powerful weapon if labor will demand the Blue Label with the same degree of loyalty and insistence that conpell- ed the elimination of Chinese and prison made cigars the union forces will again triumph No feeble effort will do, for due to changed condi- tions in the cigar industry the non union manufacturers are more strong ly cntrenched than ever.
 Formerly, all cigar factories were operated by resident owners with comparatively small capital and their products were sold within a radius of a few hundred miles of their plants. If unfair, it was not difficult to or ganize sentiment of workers of that small section against them and thus

"Thcre is very strong feelnig among democratic women that positions within the party should be elective for men and women alike. We feel that then we would have the same responsibilities as the men. A sub committee of the Democratic State Central Committee has been appoint ed to consider revision of the party ruels, to provide that women may hold office by election"
 In order to help in the political education of women of all parties throughout the state the Connecticut League of Women Voters has pub lished hand book on "Party Ma chinery" by Ruth McIntire Dadour- ian, which gives in condensed form the rules governing party caucuses and conventions, the election of the party committees, etc.
 Charts, prepared by Mrs. Florence L. C. kitchelt, have also been pub liShed, illustrating the pre-convention caucus which falls in August or carly September Information concerning these may be obtained from the state headquarters of the League of Wom- er Voters, 721 Main street, Hartford

WOMEN TO SEEK
 ELECTIVE OFFICES.
 NOT APPOINTMENT
Connecticut League Believes They Should Take Same Chances
 as Males

Connecticut women have learned that although they have the right to vote and to hold public office, they have not yet been admitted to the political parties on ehual terms with men. They are going to see what can be done to set this right.
 The Connecticut League of Women Voters of which Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington IS president, has adopted as it's immediate work the task of arousing women to take an active part in the party Caucuses and conventions, and in placing quail fled women in elective and appointive positions, including such positions within the parties.
 Women throughout the state feel strongly that the women i'll the par ties should receive their positions just as the men receive theirs and that when in these positions they should be given the same responsibilities. At present, generally speaking the wom- en have received these positions through appointment, whereas the men have been elected.
 Prominent women in each of the major parties endorse this movement and plan to work within their parties for equal position and responsibility.
 Miss Marjory Cheney of South Manchester, prominent republican woman and chairman of the legisla- tive department of the Connecticut League of Women Voters, feels strongly that women should be in cluded in the membership of the state central committee, that they should go as delegates to the state conven- ton and the other party conventions, and that qualified women should serve in the legislature.
 q feel very strongly" says Miss Cheney, "that in a democracy the people chosen to hold positions in the party should be elected by the mem bers of the party. 1 am opposed to : the idea of a woman's party. The women elected to office should re- ceive their nomination through one of the established political parties. The League of Women Voters is doing valuable work in urging every woman to join a party and to take an active part in assuring the recognition of women within the parties"
 Mrs. Hiram Percy Maxim of Hart ford, member by appointment of the Democratic State Central Commit tee, and an officer of ahe Connecticut League of Women Voters, says:

either reduce their sales or unionize the factories
 Now different conditions prevail In recent years capitalists have in vested heavily in the tobacco and cigar business and established chain of non-union factories in the United States, Porto Rico and the Philip pines. If a strike occurs in a shop 1t is closed while the workers are be- ing starved into submission and pro- duction transferred to another. Illus band and wife often work side by side in these factories because one cannot earn enough to support the home and their children shift for themselves during working hours. The trust cigars are advertised and distributed nationally. Union brands are undersold at wholesale and fiber al credits and discounts are given dealers as an iDducement to discrim- mate against union cigars and all of this at the expense of the workers who produce the goods and also those who buy them for 1t should be noted that the retail price of these inferior non-union products is usually as much or more than that of good cigars made by union men.
 It is evident then that the non- union cigar question instead of being local as formerly is now national Tn scope. Trust cigar stores and trust distributed cigars are in almost every city and plans for further expansion or it's business are being made. If tn etrust should secure control of the cigar industry three results seem cer- tain to follow: I. The small man1- facturer will be crushed and the thrifty worker will have no chance to start in the business. ?. The qual- ity of cigars and the price of same will be what the trust and not what you want them to be. 3. The con ditions of ali cigar workers will be even more slave-like than those now suffered by the unfortunate employees of the giant cigar corporations.
 The Blue Label of the Cigarmakers Union is the only barrier holding back these conditions back 1t up
