Carpenters Seot 30
Million Free Cigarettes
To Overseas Forces
Indianapolis.—President William L.
Rfatcheson announced that the Inter
national Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America and its mem
bers had contributed $67,000 for the
purpose of sending more than 30 mil
Sen "free cigarettes to members of the
armed forces overseas.
In Announcing discontinuance of the
cigarette fund now that the war is
over, Mr. Hutcheson said the union
had received more than 3,200 cards
and messages from servicemen ex
pressing appreciation for labor's gifts.
He added in a communication to local
carpenters' unions:
"In providing 30 million free ciga
rettes, our Brotherhood achieved an
enviable record. Few, if any ,organi
zations in or out of the labor move
ment can tie such a record. Certainly
every local union, district or state
council that contributed to the ciga
rette fund can feel justly proud.
"At the close of hostilities, all mo
neys remaining in the fund were used
to provide free cigarettes for the boys
convalescing in our military hospitals.
A month-by-month recapitulation of
cigarette fund receipts and expendi
tures has been presented.
"In closing, let me again, on behalf
of the general office, express sincere
thanks to all local unions, district or
state councils that participated in the
fund and helped to make it a notable
success. The response was magnificent
and a genuine tribute to the loyalty,
patriotism and generousity of our
membership. I am proud of the results
achieved and each and every one of
you can feel the same."
