moval of several Cuban cigar fac
tories to the u S. A.
II am informed that all of the sub
salaries of the so-called American
cigar trust are contemplating this
move, and the enclosed clipping from
the New York Times, July 10, SUBJ
stantiates this information
"Most of these concerns manufac-
ture high grade Havana cigars and it
is quite improbable that cigar
makers, especially women, who are
now available in Trenton, New Jer-
sey, and who have had no experience
on this class of work, will be en-
ployed exclusively. In fact | am fur
ther informed that it is the intention
of these concerns to import consid-
cradle number of Cuban workers.
"The Cigar Makers international
Union calls this matter to your at
tention with a vigorous protest
against allowing single alien cigar
maker to enter the United States at
time when thousands of skilled
American cigar makers are unem-
ployed."
Attention is called here to the fact
that Trenton is one of the strongest
organized labor cities in the United
States, and that in any attempt to
import aliens or to lower the living
standards of the city, organized la
Dor will will present united opposi-
ton to the attack at the scene of
operations.
The owners of the Cuban plants are
clearly attempting to flee from the
Cuban union, and seeking also to
avoid the tariff on finished cigars so
as to lower the price of their product
for American smokers.

If Adopted By Only Half Of Industry 1t Would,
With Federal Program, Put Seven Million AT
Work, Cowdin Holds--Se System Menaced
Unless Drastic Action Is Taken.

New York City (ILNS)-Speaking
over national hook-up of the Colum-
bia Broadcasting System, j. Cheever
Cowdin, treasurer of the recently
closed War Against Depression cam
paign, declared that employment for
seven million unemployed would fol-
low if, in addition to the relief bill,
the 30-hour work week could be
adopted by only so per cent of Amer
lean employers. On the same basis
of calculation general adoption of the
30-hour week would practically elimi-
nate unemployment.
Mr.. Cowdin is the originator of the
self-liquidating program contained in
the relief bill, is vice president of the
Bancamerica- Blair Corporation and
treasurer of the American Legion
Employment Commission.
Also For Modification
The address contained a complete
analysis of the relief bill and declared
that modification of the Volstead act
should be a part of a genuine relief
program.
High tribute was paid to Senators
Robinson, Wagner and Barbour for
qualities of the highest statesman
ship, honesty of purpose and unset
fishness" and they were pronounced
deserving the nations gratitude"
Holding that employment for mil
lion and half could be expected as
result of the relief bill, Mr. Goodwin
called this a material help toward re-
covery, adding, "but l feel confident
you will agree with me that an essen
tial prerequisite to any sustained, up
ward movement in business is the
permanent employment of vast addi-
tional numbers of those now unem-
ployed."
Must Spread Work
81 therefore," Mr.. Goodwin con-
cluded, con June 27 addressed the
American Legion, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Association
of National Advertisers, who have for
months been working unselfishly and
effectively to serve our country and
its unemployed, and are deserving of
xv0,,r onI c,rnnort
81 urged upon them, as / now urge
upon you, in the most emphatic man
ner at my disposal, the necessity of
nationwide movement to spread
work, whether it be by means of the
! so-called stagger system, or the
shorter week which, if accomplished
by only so per cent of employers,
would put another five and one-half
millions to work. / personally advo-
cate the adoption throughout the land
of the 30-hour week with 80 hours
pay, with a simultaneous increase of
10 per cent in payrolls, so that both
employers and workers will bear a
fair share of the cost of putting the
vast majority of those now unem-
ployed back at work. 1t may result
in temporarily increasing red ink fig
uros for many companies, but if we
don't, we may have to deal with a
more drastic form of red in the near
future

"Racketeering has manifested itself
in many lines.
There are no doubt some who
have fastened themselves upon the
American labor movement and who
are exploiting the hard-working and
honest members of some of the

Upon these leeches we will have

COOPERATIVE PLAN
OF BUYING ENDED
In.Com-Co Clubs Action Held
Unrelated to Recent
Attack.

The In-Com- Co Club, employees well
fare organization Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, has discon-
tinued cooperative buying for mem
bers. which had been assailed by Rep
resentative Shannon, Democrat, OF
Missouri, in charge of the investiga-
ton into Government competition with
private industry, but not as the result
Of the attacks, George B. McGinty, sec
retary to the commission, said today.
Denies Accusations.
Defending the commercial activity,
which was on a nOn-proht basis, NC
Ginty said the employees themselves had
given it up because increased work and
shortened staff required that everybody
devote all their time to their duties.
In this connection, though, he empha-
sized but little time had been required
for the club venture.
A statement attributed to Represen-
tative Shannon in a Chicago speech
last month quoted him as saying the
club was buying in carload lots, using
Government trucks for distribution,
and that Washington merchants were
complaining.
Mr.. McGinty said such charge was
without foundation. Virtually all pur-
chases were made in Washington, he
said, the business of the employees
being solicited by local dealers. with
discounts made possible by the mass
purchasing. The club itself solicited no
business. Mr.. McGinty said, and in
many instances the employees paid the
merchants directly for the purchases
made through the club. Anything
could be bought this way, he said.
Maintained No Stocks.
The club maintained no stocks, ac-
cording to McGinty. A circular, signed
by Ord L. Strayer, as director of pur-
chase, advising that a small amount
Of stores on hand were to be disposed
of by yesterday at reduced prices, re-
ferred to some supplies that had been
picked up at minimum cost. it was ex-
planned. Edibles, extracts and anti
freeze solution made up the list.
The clubs venture was the outgrowth
of World War development, when the
employees conducted their own restau-
rant in the basement Of the commission.

Mosquito Larvae Killed.

The method of warning On the mos
quito by mixture of paris green from
an airplane has proven successful to
certain extent but experiments are to
be conducted further with the idea
that the plan may be entirely ADEQUATE
The busting is done quickly and in
every instance has resulted in keeping
down the mosquito pest. 1t was found
necessary to repeat the dusting at in
tervals OF seven days in order to DESTROY
all the larvae before they can develop
into mosquitoes. 1t is believed. how
ever, that 7 to 10 dustmgs during the
malaria season will kill practically all
the larvae Of the malaria variety.
Unfortunately, however, busting with
the paris green mixture kills only the
malaria carrier variety of MOSQUITO
larvae and does not kill the other va
rieties which, although not really dan
gerous, are pest nevertheless. 1t is
accordingly planned to experiment with
spraying oil from an airpiane in order
to obtain a film of oil on the collections
of water where they breed. It is be-
ieved that the application of oil will
not only be more effective but also
cheaper, due to its lower cost and the
fact that fewer number OF. applica-
tons would be required.
