In fact, Richard Graf, the genial pro
prietor of this fast growing popular
store, hadn't intended moving into
the new location for several weeks,
but was forced to vacate the old quar
ters, Journal square, because of raz

for the new theatre.
In connection with Graf's grocery
at Third and Maple there will be con
ducted a modern meat market,
thoroughly up-to-date in every way.
The meat market will be under the
management of Harold Hornung, who
for a number of years conducted a
meat market in conjunction with the
Atherton fruit market on Court
street.
As soon as all the new fixtures are
installed, a formal opening cf the

VALENTINE PARTY
Enjoyed By Woman's Union
Label League Members
At the home of Mrs. John Berger,
1323 Hanover street, Mrs. Berger and
Mrs. Will Koger entertained at a most
delightful valentine party on last
Friday for the members of the Wom

occasion the home and table were
prettily decorated with appropriate
valentine emblems. Games and
music were enjoyed and at a late hour
a delicious chicken dinner was served
to twenty members of the union.
Those attending regretted the com
ing of the departing hour, and when
leaving voted Hostesses Berger and
Koger their thanks and hopes for a
return invitation.

These representatives of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles meeting in
Columbus recently, when the photo
was taken, made plans for continua
tion of a campaign in Ohio for an
"Cigar trusts and improved ma
chinery in the cigar industry has
eliminated about 49,000 employes in
the last ten years," states W. M.
Brandt, vice president and general
organizer of Cigarmakers' Interna
tional Union, who is making a vigor
ous campaign for union made cigars
in Greater Cincinnati at the present
time.
Mr. Brandt's survey stressed im
proved machinery, concentration
trusts and discrimination in industry
a. ainst workers over forty years of
age.
Figures on Displacement
Twenty years ago 10,000 cigar fac
tories were established in the United
States, while a survey in 1929 re
vealed less than 1,900 cigar factories
in our country. In 1920, 109,000 peo
ple were employed making cigars,
while today there are not more than
'0,000 employed.
It has been estimated there has
been a decrease of about 49,000 dur
ing the last 10 years in the number
of persons employed in the cigar in
dustry.
Nor has this decrease in the num
ber
of workers been attended by a
decrease in production. In 1900, ap
proximately 5,000,000,000 cigars were
made in this country, compared with
7,."00,000,000 cigars produced in eleven
months of last year.
Twenty years ago concentration
trusts appeared in the cigar industry,
and grew to such an extent that to
dny three-fourths of all the cigars
produced are made by five large cor
porations, who operate non-union
shops, installing improved machinery
which makes cigars complete.
Trusts Envelop Cigar Industry
49,000 Employes Eliminated in This Industry By Im
proved Machinery
Fifteen years ago the cigar indus
try was an 80 per cent skilled human
trade, while today 80 per cent of the
cigars are manufactured by machin
ery. The unemployment problem, W.
M. Brandt finds, is greatly complicat
ml by the tendency in industry to dis
card the middle aged workers on the
ground that they cannot be speeded
i. in the same way as can workers
in the twenties and thirties. In
Philadelphia alone 10,000 people are
working in the cigar industry, and
less than three hundred of this quota
are men, while 90 per cent of the
women are under the age of 25 years.
Suggest Methods of Relief
The length of the working day
should be constantly decreased with
the increase in production. The five
day week should be introduced in
the cigar industry with an increase in
wages. Yes, many may ask the
FAVORS PENSIONS
And Holds Pauper Probe
Waste of Time
Trenton, N. J.—An old age pension
of $1 a day to persons over 70 is
favored by the New Jersey old age
insurance and pension commission.
The commission urged immediate
action, and refused to delay facing
conditions by further study.
To make a survey of the depend
ent poor, as proposed by the legisla
ture, would be "simply a waste of
money and would get nowhere," ac
cording to the commission.
The commission declared that "if
the money that is asked of congre
to enforce what is generally conce
ed to be an unenforceable law,
wit, the commonly called prohibiti i
law, were expended nationally or pro
rated through the states for the bene
tit of the nation's indigent poor 'wha
a blessing it would be to some of th
country's unfortunates.'
PRINTERS RAISE WAGES
Minneapolis.—A wage increase of
$8 a week and a three-year agree
ment have been secured by newspa
per printers. The pay increase da1
back to June 1 last. New rates an
$50 a week for day work and $53 fm
night work.
:/THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESd
FURTHERING OLD AGE PENSION LAWS
old age pension law sponsored by the
fraternal organization. About 200
persons, representing every one of the
aeries in the state, attended. M. O.
Burns and Albert B. Brown were the
question, "How will this be accom
plished?" to which Organizer Brandt
answers, "With the co-operation of
the trade unionists." Cincinnati trade
unionists should patronize home in
dustry and purchase cigars bearing
the label of the Cigarmakers' Inter
national Union, which was adopted
in 1881, being the first national or
international to adopt a label. In
May, 1886, they established an eight
hour day.
The union rules demand that a
union factory must operate a clean,
sanitary factory, as well as pay a
fair wage. By living up to the rules
of the organization of which a trade
unionist is a member, he must de
mand union label goods to fulfill his
obligation. The fight of the cigar
makers against the trust companies
will be won, and these companies will
be organized, so that the employes
will receive a living wage, if every
union man and woman spends their
union earned money for union made
products.—The Chronicle, Cincinnati,
Ohio.

STAGE EMPLOYES
REFUSE TO WORK
AT AUDITORIUM
New Orleans (ILNS)—Failing to
reach an agreement with the audi
torium commission, William E. Web
er, president of the Theatrical Stage
Employes' Association, issued a state
ment in which he stated that union
workers would not be available in
presentation of plays and functions
at the new auditorium. The union
asked that a contract be signed by
the commission agreeing to employ
only members of the local union. The
commission refused, according to Mr.
Weber ,Jn the ground that the com
mission was a public body and did not
have authority to sign such a con
tract.

LUDLOW MASSACRE
RECALLED
Denver (ILNS)—Col. Patrick J.
Hamrock was a national guard officer
at the time of the slaughter known
as the Ludlow massacre in Colorado
in the bitter mine strike of 1914. Two
women and 12 children perished in the
burning tent colony. Charged with
murder, Hamrock was acquitted.
Now the military dictator of the
Colorado state penitentiary, Hamrock
again is under fire. His appointment
has been made the subject of a vig
orous protest by the Colorado State
Federation of Labor.
Meanwhile Hamrock continues in
vestigation of the prison fire of Feb
ruary 1, with one convict in "soli
tary" in connection therewith.
ANTI-UNION EDITOR
PRAISES COMMUNISTS
Charlotte, N. C.—Textile employ
ers should accept communists if they
must choose between revolutionists
and the A. F. of L., is the guarded
suggestion by David Clark, editor of
Southern Textile Bulletin, anti-union
magazine.
Clark minimizes the "red" turmoil
at Gastonia, and assures employers
that trade unionists fear the com
munists merely because the latter are
"a competitor in the dues collecting
business."
Clark makes no mention of the un
derlying philosophy of the "reds,"
who are pictured as "law abiding."
TOBACCO GROWERS
URGED TO ORGANIZE
Washington. The federal farm
board assures tobacco growers that
if they organize they will be aided
in marketing their output.
The growers are for the most part
unorganized and the farm board can
do little for them, the board states.
Tobacco growers in South Carolina
are holding meetings and represen
tatives of the farm board attended
these gatherings and emphasized the
need for unity.
RUBBER PROFITS UP
New York.—The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company reports a profit of
$19,864,374 for 1929. Except 1925,
this is the largest net earnings in the
company's history.
The company employs 17,000 work
ers in its Akron, Ohio, plants, where
speed-up practices and anti-unionism
is the rule.
OPPOSE OVERTIME
New York.—Organized fur work
ers are campaigning against over
time, and propose to fine any mem
ber who breaks the rule.
