The San Francisco call., 1906-06-19

There is e movement on foot in GER
tain quarters of the local labor field TO
establish q union cooperative restau-
rant A meeting will be held early
this week by the interested parties,
and IL Is more than probable that
large hrst-class restaurant. run under
strictly unien conditions. will be start
ed Immediately The necessary capital
has been promised and il will probably
be located on Third street, or at any
rate IN the center OF the burned dis
trict. Too many cheap nOn-union res
taurants are springing up. and many
Of them are run by Japanese. Into one
OF these particularly, situated on Third
street, near Harrison, many working
men find their way. Between the hours
OF u and 1:30 p. m over 500 working
working men patronized that japanese
restaurant alone. The Japs have dotted
the entire town with small eating
places. and ii is TO offset this that the
cooperative project has been started.
Under competent management, in a
good location, there can be no doubt
Of its ultimate success. II is not the
intention Of the promoters 70 remain
permanently in the business, but when
business begins TO assume its normal
condition the projectors say they will
be willing 10 step down and out and
give the legitimate white restaurant
keepers chance.
