Enjoy Their Meals.

TACOMA Wash, Dec 6.-There is
a peculiar strike on at the Hotel Bon
neville. in this city. Recently a head
waitress was appointed, and last night
the Mattresses demanded her dismissal,
which was refused, and the young
women went out OH strike.
New help could not be secured, and
prominent business men, who live at
the hotei, volunteered their services.
Henry Blakeley, general freight agent
of the Northern Pacific, served the
fruit; A. E. Grafton, real estate man,
brought in the soup; Lumberman Raze
carried in the fish, and Banker George
Burke. handed out the salad.
The Mattresses refused to compro-
mise, contending that there is no need
for head waitress. Mrs. Reynolds. the
proprietor, refuses to yield, and the
guests are discussing the latest styles
in aprons, along with the correct man
ner of carrying a tray.

For Violation of Law.

OLYMPIA. Wash, Dec. 6.-The
Northern Pacific was fined $1,000 for
violation of tie new i6-hour law by
Judge Linn, of the local superior court.
The suit was brought by the attor-
ney genera. charging that in July the
railroad forced Ger ain employees or a
freight train running between Seattle
and Sumas to work more than 16 hours
in violation of the bill passed by the
last legislature.
The railroad admitted that the men
had been employed more than 16
hours, but cOntended that the state law
did not affect the case. because that
branch of the Northern Pacific ard that
particular train were engaged in
handling interstate commerce.
