Show Won't Smoke Boycotted Cigars. St. Louis, March 8. As the result of the boycott against non-union made cigars, the wholesale grocers and dealers of this city are receiving large lots of cigars returned from their customers, with word that they cannot sell them. The retail dealers say that very large numbers of their customers on asking for cigars lift the box and look on the bottom, bot-tom, and if they are not labeled they hand them back, saying they will not smoke them. Jobbers say they cannot sell non-union cigars to the oity trade or on railroads, and their only recourse will be to dispose of them at interior points where the Knights of Labor do not penetrate. |
