CIGARS WITH LABEL ONLY UNION MADE Efforts of Open Shoppers" to Fool Public Are Being Daily
 Shown Up.

From time to time members or friends of organized labor ask the business agent of the Cigar Makers Union if certain brands of cigars are union or non-union made. The B. A. always cheerfully supplies the desired information and never fails to add that all cigars packed in boxes bear. ing the cigar makers Blue Label are union made and that all others, with out exception, are not.
 Some dealers when questioned why certain brands do not bear the union label attempt to deceive the customer by saying that the brand in question is made under union conditions, but that the manufacturer prefers not to use the label. Such stories are al ways false. Manufacturers who em poly union men always put the label on their products and cigars without the label are always considered non union made.
 Every dealer carries some union cigars, but many sell them only upon demand because the non-union brands usually yield a larger profit. The non-union manufacturer makes this possible as an inducement to the dealer to discriminate against the union made brands.
 However the smoker should re- member that manufacturers who are fair to their employees usually give honest value to their patrons and 1t is equally true that employees who un- der pay their employees also frequent ly profteer at the expense of the GUS | toners of their product. Many firms that pursue. this policy depend upon l special concessions to the retail deal their goods. It is obvious then that the smoker who desires to obtain maximum cigar value and at the same time purchase
 union made products can do so only
 by demanding and accepting only
 cigars that bear the Blue Union Label of the Cigar Makers Union.

 Industrial Accidents.-In its issue of June 10, 1922, the Ho1zarbeiter Zeitung published accident statistics of the Federal Insurance Bureau showing that in 1920 there were 5oI,- o22 industrial accidents, of whicR o,338 were fatal, as compared with 575,474 accidents and Io,I8o fatalities in 1919. For comparative purposes the total number of insured workmen of Germany are computed as being 25,6o3,2o3 and 24,7oo7o8 for 1920 and 1919, respectively, and 1t is suggested that strict enforcement of the eight hour day law Is responsible for the reduction in the number of accidents since 1918.

"In order to find out how the Span iards came to New Britain, and. to ascertain whether there was any truth to the supposition that the Landers, Frary & Clark factory had broken the United States laws against inn porting foreign laborers, a reporter, with friend, visited the home of Fer nando Faragoza in the black at s Chestnut street, directly opposite the car barns.

 New Britain has $50 Spaniards on it's hands. Bridgeport has 1000. Mer- 1 iden has small colony which went to the city hall in a body last week and demanded food and got it.
 "The Meriden group of about 40 was stranded in the Silver City after having been brought there by the l Aberthaw Construction Co.,, which
 was building a factory.
 "The New Britain colony came to work in the factories there, especial ly at the plant of Landers, Frary & Clark.
 "The president of Landers, Frary & Clark is Charles F. Smith, prom inent member of the state board of education, which body is spending a , lot of money in it's Americanization 1 campaign.

and finally compelled the city to pay for their deportation, was also de tailed. During this period the Span iards threatened to set hre to the Landers, Frary & Clark factories un- less given work at living wage.
 Child labor and cheap foreign labor were gone into in detail and facts given to prove the assertoin that it IS being exploited to benefit the pockets of the manufacturers now seeking to ~shut off all competition. A long list of strikes, which Senator Mclean had denied ever took place was given by MT. O'Meara and showed that in less than 10 years there were more nearly 2,ooo strikes, affecting 235,459 persons with loss in time of 4,2o5,- $40 days with figures for nearly three years not available. In the mean time huge profits were being piled up by the manufacturers, which MT. .O'Meara and Senator King contended was due to the high tariff and the result was the strikes.
 Senator Mclean, who was not present when the reading began en- tered and interrupted but MT. King continued and succeeded ln reading the entire document into the Record and commenting upon 1t at length showing that wages in Connecticut factories were barely enough to keep life going while the profits being piled up under high tariff were exor- bitant.
 MT. Mclean took issue with Sen ator King and declared that one-th1rd of Connecticut workers were engaged in agriculture, one-third in manufac- turing and the remainder in building and the like which have actual mon opolies on their jobs and protection; lie injected the resolution adopted by the A. F. of L. calling upon Con eress to enact a tariff that will pro feet American workmen and declared Secretary Ornburn had signed a statement to that effect directly con- trary to the views expressed by Pres1- dent O'Meara. He the nintroduced Copy of The Labor News of May last in which was an article describr ing a protest by American printing tradesmen against cheap foreign printing and large firms who were importing it to disrupt the printers unions to prove his assertion. This protest was made by Matthew Woll of the "A. F. of L., MT Ornburn and others He then declared that the only hope of Connecticut workers getting a keeping wage that would provide an adequate living was through high protective tariff over the industries. He then had inserted in the Record The Labor News as a refutation of MT. O'Meara's views. The arguments continued for several

Shopmen Blame
 "Die-Hard" Group

New York, July 28.-Asserting that the rail strike has not already been settled "because the die-hard group of eastern road executives want it to go on," shopcraft union leaders admitted that only the roads refusal to assure returning strikers reinstate- ment of seniority rights prevents an immediate settlement of the contro- versy.
 If the government wants to re- lieve the transportation crisis it will settle the strike, and the way to settle the strike is to persuade Gen. w. w. Atterbury and his 'hard-boiled' refusal to allow seniority rights to workers"
