ORCHESTRA PLAYS
TO EMPTY TABLES
CoIored Walters All Walk Out of
Wilson Cafe at Noon
Today.

Playing to an absolutely empty room.
the orchestra of the Wilson hotel tried
TO cheer up a dismal situation at Fred
Wey's hosiery at noon today.
Guests heard the beautiful music ana
came to eat. but found n smiling man
at the door, not colored, but giving
them quietly the information "the
coons have gone"
Within the dining room, faultlessly
prepared for the noon meal, there was
not a sign OF life except from the
orchestra platform in its rear. After
one gay tune it gave up hopelessly
and disbanded, while Fred Wey en-
tered to tell Jack the head waiter,
tn, It he had appreciated his services
and still he didn't feel right about the
way the boys had acted.
Those who came to eat remained to
smile, and then to go away and pat
ronize the surrounding restaurants.
CoLoRBD MEMS STORY,
When Mr. Wey was asked for infor-
nation concerning the trouble he said
that he knew nothing about IL beyond
the fact that the boys had struck. From
the Colofed gentlemen, however ar
ferent version was given. 1t was that
Mr.. Wey himself was the cause of all
the trouble, and II was that when n
committee of the walters requested
that he hear their grievance against
the head cook. who swore at them un-
mercifully and berated them on eVerg
possible score. Mr. Wey had replied IN
language rs expressive as that used
by the cook. ending II up with a de-
claraton that they could get out, one
and ALL and that they could go
through the back door instead OF
through the front.

planned. I'VE were just ordered from
the place, and we went as per the
orders of Mr. Wey"
a sign hanging on the Kitchen door.
signed by the head waiter, throws some
light on what happened. II was writ
ten IN pencil and forbade the waters
using profane language in the kitchen.
The trouble started last night. on ac-
count of language used by the cook,
and ended In the strike this morning
after an effort had been made to get
Mr.. Wey to hear the grievances of the
men.
