COUNCIL NOTES

Last Tuesday night saw the larg-
est attendance at a meeting of the
Council in the past two years. There
was a 100 per cent attendance and
many visitors from the Building
Trades attended. The walls were
lined two rows deep with chairs and
every chair was filled. The same
spirit was shown that was shown
at the special meeting held last
Saturday night. At last there is
solidarity in the Butte labor move
ment.
The present high-handed methods
of the Employers Association were
discussed and the unions were unani-
nous in their protest. Various dele
gates reported on the actions of their
unions and these reports showed a
unanimity in the ranks of the To-
Gals.
The Clerks reported that they were
on the road to victory in their strug-
gle against starvation conditions.
Sam Mitchell thanked the unions and
the Butte public for their co-opera-
ton. Sentiment has been with the
Clerks and it has been due to the
sympathetic cooperation Of the buy
ing public and fellow workers that
such rapid progress has been made.
When the meeting adjourned there
was a feeling on the part of all
present that Butte will never be a
slave compound but a city where
workers can enjoy a decent Ameri-
a standard of living.

Sam Gompers Cigar
Made in Two Sizes
Excellent Combination of Tobaccos
in Both Five and Ten-Cent Sizes.

Definite progress is being made
toward providing manufacturers in
the Cigarmakers Cooperative Asso-
citation with material for a 10-cent
cigar. 1t is intended that this cigar
will contain quality Havana filler
with a Connecticut binder and a Su-
matra wrapper. This combination
assures the smoker of a cigar that is
identical with the successful 10-cent
cigars of New England and far SUI
perior to most advertised, n%on-union
cigars at the same price. The Asso-
citation is assured that the material
can be furnished at a price that will
make its manufacture possible in any
part of the country. A beautiful de-
sign, the picture of the Gompers
memorial statue, was agreed upon
for the 10-cent cigar, and just as
soon as the Autograph company
makes delivery and cellophane can
be secured their 10-cent brand will
be ready to go into production.

They demanded that the state take
action to force the Republican state
