these public eating houses for one, two
and three meals a day. The lines are
tightly drawn between the contending fac
lions and each avows the determination Of
fighting It out along this line" Yet the
general consensus Of opinion is that this
will be a struggle Of short duration. There
is a prevailing sentiment in some quarters
that the patrons OF these restaurants may
e%ndeavor to exert some influence toward af-
fecting a settlement IL matters become too
serious.
Crisis Monday Morning.
Thus far the restaurant men are not
making any apparent moves or discussing
their affairs. Except in one or two in
stances all the places whose owners had
not signed the scales were darkened last
night. The hordes OF nocturnal patrons
had to either do without their usual mid
night lunches or hunt new places to get
them. The Henshaw had a few colored
walters and was doing a small business,
but it was understood that these walters
had simply been borrowed for the night.
The plan Of the restaurant keepers evil
IDENTIFY is to collect as many ~nonunlon wait
ers, cooks and helpers as possible between
this and Monday morning, when it is un-
d~erstood a heroic effort at reopening and
resuming business will be made. II this
Is done the prospects are that matters will
reach a crisis, for the union forces are re-
solved to resist any such move.
Already talk Of boycott Is heard. II
originates perhaps from the supposed pur-
pose of the Business Mems association to
boycott any restaurant keeper persisting
In remaining outside OF the association and
ahtliating with the union men. Leaders
Of the walters and allied unions do not hes
itate to say that II this is to bo the plan
IL will precipitate more serious and COM
plicated trouble. other unions also take
the same position and announce their in
tention Of standing by the restaurant
workers and union restaurant keepers In
such an event. Ultimately, therefore, the
whole battle may be fought out on these
lines, the fight resolving itself down to a
struggle between organized labor, regard
less Of trade lines and the recently e.
tablished Business Mems association.
Members Of this association lave given
out their word that they intend to make a
strong Tight for what they believe to be
their rights. One Of them yesterday said
Organized labor in Omaha has the heht
OF Its existence on its hands now. In all
former struggles 1t has not been opposed
by any systematic organization, but we are
banded together and mean business. We
will resist them to the last. We are forced

People who complain of failing hair as

hungry members OF the community en-
tered these restaurants after the strike

but the restraining influence OF the officers

pressed any trouble. Some OF the girl
