HYDE Park.
centlemen-It came to our notice
fbst the campaign committee had
sent 20 New York for one Forrest
Cozart to come and take charge OF
the beadwaiters in order 70 get them
n line for this campaign He was Al
ms time president Of their organiEa-
fion nat asas asled to resign We had
resling IN Hyde Park and was
.ufbnrIzed 10 write this letter. II
sueh be the case he win only create
diseord among the walters, Tor me
reason that while he was headWaiter
Al Peoria, Illinois. ct the Fay Hotel
inst prior to the walters strike ne
vrote an article which was published
IN the Hotel World stating that ne
could supply the restaurants and no
eel proprietors with all the non-union
men they wanted, and could break the
sbi,e. for which he became in dis
fsvor very much, and the incident is
not forgotten, as tour-hfths Of the
walters are union in principle. M.
W c. Clayton has an elegant club out
here frequented by the boys and Is IN
favor. I was captain Of q company
during the last campaign would
be glad TO be OF any service / can and
my advice Is to put the gentlemen
spoken Of on some other line"
Respectfully,

This letter Is a striking Endorsement
Of Forrest W. Cozart, editor Of the
waters column in the Freeman. and
who Mr.. Barnett Is expecting here
october LIST, If the statement Of Mr..
W. D. Samuels be true. II you have
read the Freeman" you have, no
doubt read, how Mr.. CoEart has at
tempted TO mislead the public and
poison their minds against unions and
especially against the walters union
He had much to say concerning the
dupHcity Of the white boys in taking
the places Of colored boys, but never
a word does he say how he himself
tried to block the way. How many
Of the 800 men he had on his list, and
sent them into Chicago to rob his fol-
low walters Of an honest wage we do
not know, but this We do know: that |
he said that he would do It, and It |
was done. Now why does Mr.. Barnett |
want TO stun such men down the |
throsts Of the waiter. does he wish 20 /
60 on reeord IS being opposed 70 the
Waters Union. II not, let him re-
consider his action before November.
G. n. Casey is another who would /
forge 10 the front and demand the
political leadership Of the walters,
and what for, simply to make a step
ladder out Of him, to eat all the finest
truit Of the tree. Can we forget 30
soon that Mr.. Casey let out Of his
dining room all Of the best men he
had, violating an agreement entered
INTO with the employer, because these
men we're union men, and advocated
heir belief, In accord with the best
hes Of the proprietor. We have
he word Of his second waiter Brother
Jackson that he told him to find out
Who we're union men 80 that he could
discharge them, and now he is seek
ne to be q leader among them. The
Raiter has his eyes opened and his
hollow tooth pulled and his ears are
lear. Less these gentlemen forget
We would remind them that no man
" party can be less than fair at all
lines to his fellow men We are
Ired Of political leaders selecting any
lody 10 lead the waiter without con-
Iulting him These headRaiters who
would make gamblers out Of our young
nsn, to hold their positions in order
hat he might get his percentage away
Nth them. The time has come for
be waiter to quit attending meetings
siVsn BY the fellow who gets the
money you ought to have. Let me
emind you that the Republican party
las plenty Of me1ey TO spend. but
he willing Negro gets sentiment,
ghile the Jew the Bohemian, the
serman, the Irish, the SWede, the
and every other people
nj the Negro gets the money. Ne
