The investigation indicates that the en-

inferior to those appointed thru compe-

That the service was packed with en-

These appointments made under the

TWENTY-FIVE HOTELS
They Are Crippled by the strIke-Men
Refuse to ArbItrate.

Chicago, June 1S.-The complete list
Of hotels in which. the employees are on
strike follows: Auditorium, Auditorium
Annex, Sherman House, Grand Pacific,
Stratford, Palmer House, Briggs House,
Bismarck Ka1serhof, Thompson's, Vic
Del Prado, Vendome Hyde Park, Winder-
mere, Metropole, Kenwood, Holland
Great Northern, Virginia, Brevoort, Union.
The Lexington hotel signed the scale five
minutes after the help had been called
out. There is every indication that the
strike will be hard-fought. The proprie-
tors declare that the demands made are
unreasonable, and the unions claim they
have not been fairly treated in that the
proprietors agreed to treat individuals
with the unions and have not done So
The proprietors have agreed to submit
nearly every point at issue to arbitration,
but to this the unions will not consent.
They insist that their demands for higher
wages and shorter hours be granted be-
fore they will arbitrate anything, and
insist also upon the absolute recognition
of the union.
To this latter demand the proprietors
say they will never agree so long as the
strikers maintain their present attitude.
The proprietors have expressed a will
tngness to arbitrate this proposition also,
but the men will not recede. The unions
also demand that the members Of the hotel
keepers association come to the officers
of the employees organization as indi-
viduals and not as members Of any asso-
citation.
The strikers are trying to divert sup
plies from the hotels, but are not sue
cessful to any considerable extent. The
employees have hopes of bringing to their
aid the Transfers and engineers unions
in order to keep food out Of the hotels
and to deprive the establishments of
hot water.
President Young Of the teamsters' union
declared that his organization would not
declare a sympathetic strike because the
cooks and walters placed themselves in
the wrong in refusing arbitration. The
officers Of the engineers union made the
same declaration, and added that the en-
g1neers would remain on duty, no matter
If an effort should be made to run the
hotels with nonunion help. Officers OF
the Chicago Federation of Labor express
similar views.
Pickets surround every hotel affected
and police are patroling the sidewalks.

GIVE HIM ROPE ENOUGH!
The Roosevelt Opposition Hoping
That the President Will
Throw Himself.
From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington,

From The Journal Bureau, Room g. Post Build
ing, Washington,
Washington, June 13.-FOlloWing the
total collapse Of the movement within
the republican party to prevent the nomi-
nation Of President Roosevelt next year,
some Of the secrets of the conspirators are
coming to light. It is said to be fact
by those who are in position to know that
the scheme to defeat the president was
more widespread than surface indications
at any time suggested. In fact, the
nucleus Of revolt was organized in near
ly all Of the northern republican states,
Just as it was in some of the states Of
the south, and the best available men in
these states were put in charge of It..
In the south the truth came out prema-
turely, thru the inability Of republican
leaders there, on account Of factional diff
ferences, to keep their own counsel; but
in the north this was not the case. Dr.
rected from Wall street, this movement in
the north at one time promised to be
very formidable, and only the activity of
the president, aided by the confidence re-
posed in him by the masses of the peo-
pie, prevented it from coming to a head.
Wall street is now saying, with conde-
scension, that it does not propose to put
anything in his way, either in the con-
vention or at the polls. Give him enough
rope and he will hang himself, say its
leading spirits. Let Roosevelt run the ma
tional convention write the platform,
name the candidate for vice-president,
and become personally responsible for the
conduct Of the campaign. Then, If a
mistake is made, the country will know
where to look for the guilty one.
The complaisance Of the opposition in
concluding to let the president have q
nomination and election. and full charge
Of party leadership, without further op-
position, is one Of the humors of the
oncoming presidential campaign.

photographers oppose the Santa Fe.

Chicago, June 1S.-The Order Of Rail
road Telegraphers has declared a boycott
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa. Fe
railroad, a circular letter signed by the
president having been received by the
get hold of the road have been shown, but
ticket agents of all the roads centeringin
Chicago The letter asks the ticket agents
when routing passengers and freight to
discriminate against the Santa Fe.
The trouble between the telegraphers
and the Santa Fe is of long standing. In
1899 the telegraphers and station agents
became dissatisfied with their pay and
working conditions and sent a committee
to Chicago to make demands, and, after
many conferences, strike was called.
The officers of the order say that the
company, by subterfuge, induced the men
to return to work at the end Of seventeen
days, and they also say that those who
took part in the strike have been discrim-
mated against ever since by the Santa
F'e and some other roads.

twenty-five Hostelries in Chicago
Are Crippled by the Cook
g. Waiter Strike.
Their Unions Refuse All Offers to
Arbitrate Their De-
mands.
War on the Restaurants Also Begun
All Chicago Carries Lunch
VI in Its Pockets.

Chicago. June 1s.-With the union en-
ployes of twenty-five hotels, including
practically all the large hotels in Chicago,
already on strike, the officers Of the cooks
and walters unions announce their in
tention this morning Of ~again turning
their attention to the restaurants. cafes
and cafeterias.
They have decided to stake the success
of their movement for better working con-
ditions, and, if necessary, even the exls-
tence Of their organization. on one effort
that Is to involve all the resources OF
their local and international unions.
Particular attention is to be given the
department store restaurants and their
first move will be against them.
While they did their work thoroly among
the hotels, the strikers have succeeded
In only partially crippling the hotel SER
vice. Many of the affected establish
ments served breakfast with varying de-
grees Of success to-day and already there
Is noticeable influx of outside help,
which Is being taken on as fast as pre-
sented. These nonunion employees, to-
gether with the small proportion of the
help that has remained loyal, enable many
of the hotels to care for their guests with
comfort.
Many of the restaurant owners informed
their employees to-day that those who
obeyed the union and struck would be
permanently discharged. Restaurant own
ers and hotel proprietors alike have de-
cided that unless the unions agree by
Monday to submit their grievances to
bitration in all places where the en-
ployes have walked out so far the union
would be ignored and the employees treated
only as individuals.
Hundreds Of business man to-day car
ried their lunches from home, having
learned that the hotel war would prob
ably extend to include all restaurants.
Early in the day George A. Schilling, in
behalf of the National Civic Federation,
appeared at the strikers headquarters
and offered the services Of that body to
tarbitrate the differences between the men
and their employers. &
Strikers Refuse Arbitration.
In addition to the regularly appointed
arbitration committee Of the federation,
it was proposed to invite John Mitchell
to become member for this occasion and
ito give him the deciding vote. The offer
was refused by the strikers, who de-
clared that arbitration would be accepted
only as a last resort. III 81
Attempts are being made to complete
the tie-up Of the hotels by stopping the
delivery of supplies. Striking mattresses
and chambermaids took a hand to-day
but every effort was made to prevent the
pickets getting into communication with
the employees who have remained faithful
and with the new recruits. Police guards
were stationed at each hotel and a con-
tingent was held at central station ready
to answer riot calls. - uf+1. @
