CHICAGO STILL EATS.
Cooks and Walters Strike Falls TO Bring
DIN the Expected Famine.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24--Officers of the Cooks
and Walters Union started out at 8 o'clock
this morning to call strikes in 1872 restaur-
ants. The committee visited large num-
Der OF cafes and lunch rooms and ordered
the men to quit. but at noon, when the army
of hungry Chicagoans swarmed in for
luncheon, every one of the 1852 eating places
was doing business.
In many instances the strike order au-
thorized by the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployees' International Alliance, was dis
regarded by the men and women who re-
ceived it. One or two restaurant keepers
confronted by walkout signed the union s
demands.
While representatives of the union say
that 5000 men have quit work. the cafe
managers and proprietors insist that the
tie-up is a fizzle. The restaurant keepers
admit that the H. II. Kohlsaat lunch rooms
and some others where colored help Is en-
ployed are closed or crippled by the walk
out, but they insist that in the other places
the assertions were few and that the places
