dustria esten bien nformados,
a continuation publicamos ia
carta que ell presidente r. E.
Van Horn, de la International
de Tabaqueros de America, ha
dirigido a Manuel Garcia, presi-
dente de la Union 500. Dice:
Mr.. Manuel Garcia, presidente
Union Local No. 500
Tampa. Florida.
Estimado sSnor y companero:
Me informa ell vicepresidente
Charles E. Roller que a pesar
de sus instrucciones, entregadas
a Vd. a su llegada a Tampa, Vd.
" otros oficiales de la Union 500
no han cooperate por complete
con 81 en- la ne~ceSaria labor de
expedir Cartas de Retro a los
miembros que han estado pa
gando diez centavos mensuales
durante un largo periodic de
tempo. Sc me informa tambien
que listed ha declarado que liz
Union 500 no reconocera las
Cartas de Retro que han sidO
expedidas.
Creyendo que listed ha asu-
mido esta actitud porque no en-
tiende por entero la posici6n de
un miembro de la Union Inter
nacional de Tabaqueros que po-
see una Carta de Retro, tengo
ell gusto de avisarle que las Car
tas de Retro son expedidas a los
miembroS sin trabajo en- la in
dustria tabacalera de modo que
puedan seguir perteneciendo a
la Union International de Taha-
queros de America con todos sus
derechos, con referencia al futu-
70 empleo en- la industrial, sin Ell
pago de Quotas. I'm miembro
que posee una Carta de Retro
Sc halla para siempre en- buena
estabilidad y pasa a ser un
miembro certificate, teniendo
este certificate ell mismo valor
de una libreta de Quotas cuando
solicita trabajo.
Esto Sc reconoce bajo la COM
pleta jurisdiction de la Union
International de Tabaqueros. Els
tie procedimiento no es nuevo, co
mo listed debe saber.
Ell privilegio para los sin ira
bajo que dispone Ell pago de disz
~centavos de quota al mes, nunca
tuvo la intenci6n de crear una
clase de miembros de a diez cen
tavos, como Sc ha permitido en-
Tampa donde sabemos que mu-
chos miembros han venidO pa
'gando Quotas de diez CEN
tavos de ano en- afo, y donde, Sc
gun sc me avisa, estos miembros
estan ahora o han estado emplea
dos en- otro trabajos que NADIA
tienen que yer con la industrial
tabacalera. De aqui que en- Tam
pa, como en- otros lugares, las
Cartas de Retro son expedidas
a miembros en- la Industries que
llevan sin trabajo mas de cuatro
meses.
Las Cartas son extendidas
cuando la oportunidad para en-
contrar trabajo en- la industrial
esta en- su punto mas alto, es de-
cir, en- octubre 81, 1910. iPuede
listed decir con raz6n que algdn
miembro es perjudicado por es-
te procedimiento?
Aun cuando un miembro po-
seedor de una Carta de Retro Sc
halla para siempre en- buena es-
tabilidad en- 10 que al trabajo
concierne, un miembro que pa
ga la Quota de diez centavos, y
por 10 tanto disfruta del privile-
gio de los sin trabajo, Sc halla
