One of the provisions that the al
lied unions insist upon most vigor-
ously is that the unions be
permitted to furnish all of the help
needed, thereby cutting out the free
employment agency recently
opened by the Spokane Hotel and
Restaurant Keepers association in
rooms 215 and ZIG Granite building.
The opening of this employment
agency and the post Of odious house
rules have led to the present strike.
The unions found. 1t is charged, that
the restaurant trust" planned to
eventually supplant all union help
with men and girls Imported from
the outside. This was the chief is
sue that led to the calling of the
strike.
Restaurant employees say that
they were also subjected to tyrran-
meal rules in the matter Of partak-
ing of food and that in some of the
houses the proprietors expected
them to work on long shifts, of
sometimes 10 hours duration, with
out eating. Help have been known
to be discharged, 1t Is claimed, for
eating steaks that some guests had
left untouched, for the reason that
the boss wanted to sell the same
steak over again.

THE officials concerned were
called into consultation that after
noon, while we worked hard until
Sunday. Ballinger and Lawlor left
Monday night for Beverly. They
| did not return to the office again
| until Thursday morning
| Upon the return Lawlor took up
| his quarters in Ballinger's private
office, calling in Massey and myself
| for dictation. 1t was obvious from
the way Lawlor dictated the letter
what it was intended to be. More
over. there was no attempt at con-
cealment. "The letter began. Sir
| 1t referred to Ballinger as you in
each case and the personal pronoun
Il was used throughout. From the
context, the Il could be no other
than Taft himself.
There could be no question that
Lawlor was drafting letter for
Tafts signature, reviewing the
CLAWS charges and generating the
secretary. 1t was written in such
form that Taft might have adopted
it bodily.
"As l have said, the letter was
dictated in Ballinger's private office
by Lawlor. Probably half a dozen
drafts were made before the final
one. Each time a fresh draft was
completed it was taken to Lawlor,
who revised it,
| "On the afternoon of the second
day a consultation was held be-
| po1JinUnr oxryfn
| Commissioner Fred bennett of the
land office, Chief of the Field Serv-

Assistant Secretary Frank Pierce
and Private Secretary Carr.
THE draft was discussed in de-

linger himself read the letter, or
draft, aloud and general criticism
| from the others was invited and
received
without attempting to force my
own conclusions upon any reader of
this statement, I want it to be re-
membered that this was the draft Of
the letter generating Ballinger in
the charges CLAWS has made
against him.

this conference. Massey and were

-Four copies, an original and
three carbons, were made.
"The fact that we were required

me that LsWlor expected Taft to

person and addressed to Ballinger
throughout"
