on aince the first of January Ap-

and all surplus stocks cf cigars in
the United States are reported to

The making of cigars is the largest

ed 175000000 cigars for the Ameri
can market This company the larg
est in the field has been idle since
the strike started
Not all of the cigar makers here
ere members of the union but many
of them are and the cigar maker
union fn the United States through
their international organixation are
paying strike benefits tQ the union
strikers here Although there has
been no work for five months the
strikers say they a re prepared to re
main idle until next year if neces
sary in order to gain their demands
of increased wages
Another demand is that all of the
cigar makers be re-employed On
this point the Porto Rican American
Tobacco Company has stated that it
would give employment to all oper-
itives capable of making cigars for
which the company now has a de-
mand A profit sharing offer of the
company was refused by the worker

WASHINGTON June 18— Declar-
ing opponents of the league of na-
tions have conducted a campaign of
misrepresentation and distortion
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
republican member of the foreign
relations committee told the sen-
ate today that the league covenant
offered the only prospect of prevent-
ing future and more terrible wars
Replying to the argument of many
republican senators he upheld the
state as entirely devoid of any liabi-
ty to endanger to entangle or cur-
tail American interest
In twenty years service” said the
North Dakota senator ”1 have known
ut one instrument whose terms have
been to willfully misinterpreted and
so gruesomely misrepresented as the
covenant cf the league of nations
some of it is vague 1 know and some
portions are objectionable from a
particular view-point but that it dis-
criminates against us is unfair in
its treatment of our country or that
it injposes on us any obligations or
burden that is not equally shared by
every other nation I must emphati-
cally deny"
