finish. Several hundred walters are employed at
the various swell club-houses Of this city, and
among these the missionaries of the alliance have
bcen spreading the union propaganda with great
success. No move will be made until the re-
spective crews shall have become practically
unanimous in their union sentiments The ex-
ecutive committee has adopted tactics which will
prove excessively annoying 10 the hotels which
are lighting the alliance. The plan is TO send
union men to work under any prctence OF being
non-unionists in hotels and restaurants where q
lockout or a strike has taken place. Then. when
the proprietor thinks his crew complete and tho
union dscomfited the committee will swoOp
down on him and empty his dining room Of

We will adopt whatever action may be advised
by our attorney. / am of the opinion that pro-

by suing out an injunction against the Strike Com
mittee and the Carpenters Council to restrain it
and its pickets from interfering with
