Closed Shop Pact
By Cigar Makers
Agreement Includes Union
Label, 40-Hour Week

Tampa, Fla.-A' notable agreement
negotiated by the Cigar Makers Inter-
national Union of America with the
Cigar Manufacturers Association of
Tampa is another outstanding achieve
ment of bona fide trade union organ
ization based upon collective bargain
ing and other principles applied by the i.
national and international unions af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor.
The contract, covering members of
Local Unions Nos. 1886, 462, 474, 493,
494, 495, 500, and any other local
unions formed during the life of the
agreement, provides for the 40-hour
week, consisting Of eight hours per
day for five days for all cigar makers,
with an additional four hours on the
sixth day at the option of the employ
er. The regular h0urs of labor for
packers, strippers, selectors, banders,
trimmers, cellophaners and clerks
will be determined by immediate nego-
tiations between the parties to the
agreement.
The members of the Cigar Manu-
faeturers' Association agree to employ
only members in good standing of the
Cigar Makers International Union
with the stipulation that the union
shall at all times furnish the employ
ers with competent union help.
Wage rates under the agreement
will be determined by negotiations be-
tween representatives of the employ
ers and the union.
Under "employe representation" the
agreement provides that the union
shall have the right to be represented
by a joint advisory board composed
of workers elected by the local unions
and shop collector, elected outside
the factory premises by the workers
of each shop.
In case OF grievances, provision is
made for their settlement in each shop
with reference of unsettled grievances
to the joint advisory board and the
employer, and finally, to the duly ac-
credited officers of the Cigar Makers
international Union.
An interesting feature of the agree
ment is the statement that it is based
on the principles of collective bargain
ing as means of eliminating unneces-
sary strikes, lockouts, boycotts, and
for the stabilization of employment
"in accordance with the provisions of
the National Labor Relations Act as
construed and determined by the Su-
preme Court of the United States,"
with the added stipulation "that any
amendments, decisions of the Supreme
Court or other Qualifications of this
Act from such Supreme Court shall be
and are considered part of this agree
| ment."

DEITY keeps up with the lat

She orders by the box, assuming
that the contents of all brands
are standardized in composition

never questions the price of salt

more for doctored salt than she
would for the ordinary sodium
chloride which is ordinary table
salt. It may be that some of the
added features are desirable to
Betty. The non-caking quality
adds only a fraction to the low
initial cost. The addition of
minerals is a more expensive
item, yet in some cases, where
dietetic treatment is desirable,
the cost may be considered
negligible. If Betty used deep
sea foods in her family menus
two or three times a week, she
may not need iodized salt. If

salt is not essential. Betty will
see no reason for saving on the
price of salt; it is so cheap and
she uses so little that she ISN'T

trifles.

duced to prevent the develop

Obviously this is a half cent an

To Marry
Or Not To Marry

Dear Miss Fairfax:
The young man in whom I am
very much interested is q years
old, and I am IS. We became
very good friends during the
summer and in the past month
have talked of marriage. He
is in the building business, and
I have a fairly good position.
He has a little money saved and
SO have I.
The question is: Do you think,
if we started in on a small scale,
we would be wise to marry now
instead of waiting until he is
better established in business?
Or perhaps you think it best
that we keep on seeing each
other occasionally, and marry
later? Sometimes we live in
nope and die in despair" We are
both college graduates. Do you
think we can work it out?
MARJORIE.
Your problem is simple, I
should certainly advise you to
marry. You're both college
graduates, and therefore have
the best possible equipment for
making a success of marriage,
even if things don't always run
along smoothly. Your letter is
very sensible, and as you are
willing to start life together on
a small scale, I know you'll
make a go of it. Best Of luck to

Failed to
Keep Date

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I met a young man at the
beach this summer and he came
over to see me several times,
as he lives in the same city. Then
the day he made a date, and,
saying he had a business ap-
pointment, spent only a short
time with me.
When he left he made a date
for next week, but failed to
keep it. And I haven't heard
from him since. I saw him
once, but only to say "hello"
and pass on. Do you think it
would be all right to call him
on the phone and find out why
he didn't come or had I better
let the whole thing drop?
WONDERING.
I think it would be a mistake
to force the issue when a young
man acts like this. He may
not want to tell you his reason
for breaking a date. The world
is full of interesting young men.
Try and forget this one and I'm
sure you will find another friend
who has better manners.
