men have been called out in an er-
fort 20 force the hotel management
to employ union kitchen help when

The primary cause OF trouble be-

made some time ago by the cooks
and walters 20 get the Butler people
to sign the scale.
The manager put the matter Oft
and employed non-union man as
chef and another as head waiter.
The latter went 20 san Francisco To
secure a crew for the new hotel and
went TO an employment agency to
get non-union walters. The agency
wrote 70 Seattle for informal ton and
learned that there were plenty OF
union men tn this city out Of en-

could, and coloned men n he could

take Chinese in preference to union

The cooks and walters then
