Many months ago the Cincinnati cigar man ufacturers by their actions forced the igar makers to go on strike in effort to maintain decent living conditions. After being out for some weeks the workers woke up to ttyj fact that the stand of the employers was really one to smash the union. The men decided to launch into business for themselves in order to give employment for those on strike. The Cigar Makers' Co-Operative Co. was formed, and its success has been beyond all dreams. The Cigmaco and CCC cigars are the brands turn out by the company, and are not only favorite brands in Cincinnati but 11 the surrounding territory and throughout the country they are oming popular and meeting be a big lemand. During the year 1921 two md one-half billion of these cigars were turned out. That is going some. The Cigmaco and CCC cigars are ex ellent quality cigars at popular prices, and are deserving of the tronage of every union man. pa­ STANLEY OGG Attends the A. F. of L.

RAILROAD ACT IGNORED Cheap Wage Advocates Would Overlook Law in Defense of Demands For Cut New York.—In defending low-wage demands of railroad managers the New York Times joins with these managers in ignoring the Cummins Esch act which authorizes the railroad labor board to establish "just and reasonable" wage rates. The Times'| editor says: The (Cummins-Esch) statute sets! seven standards for the fixing of a fair wage. The first of them is: "The scale of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other industries.' There is not a word in the statute about 'a living wage,' or a standard wage or union wages. The railway workers have set up these and other extra legal demands on scale beyond the| capacity of the industry to support.' The editor is incorrect when hel says the Cummins-Esch act "sets seven standards for the fixing of a fair wage." Neither is mention made of 'a fair wage.' The act calls for wages and working conditions which] are just and reasonable." Neither does the law authorize the board tol onsider as a standard "the scales of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other industries." This claim is identical with other low-wage advo ates who would create the impres sion that the railroad labor board is commanded by law to base wages on| other industries. Even certain mem bers of the railroad labor board are] aiding this propaganda. The board has a free hand in I wage adjustments. The law sets no tandard, although seven suggestions are made to the board which shall be onsidered, "so far as applicable." This leaves it entirely in the judg-| ment of the board, as shown by the| following clear declaration 'of the law (Sec. 307, paragraph D): 'All the decisions of the laborl board in respect to wages or salaries and of the labor board or an adjust ment board in respect to working con ditions of employes or subordinate! officials of carriers shall establish rates of wages and salaries and standards of working conditions WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF THE BOAR I ARK .!
