WATERS DEMAND.
Employees at Washington Hotels Pre-
pairing for Strike.

Washington, June 3.-Encouraged
by the success Of their fclow-workers
in New York, the members of the Ho-
tel Workers Union of Washington
have demanded an increased wage
scale and are preparing to enforce
their demands by strike if neces-
sary.
The local organization of the big
hotel walters will deliver their ulti-
matum to the proprietors tomorrow
morning and if their demands are not
acceded to by Wednesday, noon, a
strike will result.
More than 400 walters will meet to-
night to decide on and adopt wage
scale. This will be submitted to the
proprietors tomorrow morning. The
managers contend that Washington
walters receive a higher salary and
better treatment than in other cities
and they do not expect serious COM
plications.
If, however, a strike results thous-
ands of visitors and hotel guests who
are expected here Saturday to attend
the unveiling exercises of the Column
bus memorial statue will suffer.
Joseph Elster, organizer of the
striking New York walters, is expect
ed in Washington this afternoon, and
tonight will probably confer with the
local leaders as to the possibility of
ordering a strike.

New York Walters Who Went Out
Partially Paralyze
Hotels.
CASTOR OIL FOR OLIVE OIL
Officials of Union Denounce Reports
That Men Contemplate Violence
Pcaceable Means Will Be Used.

New York, June 3-Sabotage was
threatened in the strike Of the wait
ers that has partly paralyzed most OF
the fashionable hotels of New York
today. The success of many of the
big hotels in securing strike breakers
and the open support Of many Of the
guests have given the hotels, has en-
ragged the strikers and open threats
of "getting square" are being made.
Private detectives have reported to
some of the hotel proprietors that dis
gruntled strikers are discussing
among themselves the proposition OF
getting work as strike-breakers to
destroy property. A warning has been
sounded to watch the supply care
fully to prevent it's being tampered
with, following report that in one
of the big uptown hotels someone
substituted castor oil for olive oil.
The officials of the union denounced
all of these reports today and insist
ed that the men would win sasily
by peaceable methods. However,
was no question that the hotel pro-
prietors believed they had the back
bone of the strike broken. They had
plenty of waiters-such as they were
ON duty in their dining rooms and
although the service was of the rud
est, the patrons refrained from COM
planning.
Of the $4,000 employees Of all binds
in 225 of the city's hotels, it was
agreed today that 5000 are on st:ikc.
Few Of the hotels are doing mach
business just now, however, and the
hotel men say they can afford to keep
their biggest dining rooms closes
until September.
The refusal of the hotel managers
to arbitrate the questions in dispute,
or even to meet a committee from the
union, has destroyed the efforts Of
the State commissioner Of labor to
settle the trouble. 1t is now admitted
that it will be fight to the finish, and
the union, as a last weapon, today
decided to call out all of their remain
ing membership in downtown New
York and possibly in Brooklyn.

James Harrison, who is operating
flying horses on the old fair grounds,
was cited to appear in the Police
Court this. morning on the charge OF
maintaining q nuisance in the way Of
noise and music near the we sma'
hours. A petition of people residing
contiguous to the flying horses was
presented to the court. r. d. Brum-
back represented the accused. He
mcvel that the charge be dismissed
on tn. ground that Harrison had paid
his license to conduct the business and
that tie disorder consisted in the main
of the glee which generally surrounds
such amusements. The accused stated
that no actual disorder occurred on the
grounds that is, no boisterous Ian
guage no. fights.
Justice Cation said the Police Court
was not tie proper tribunal to settle
such mattas. There were two ways
by which t, ,e complainants could act
have the icense revoked or get out
an injuncticit He further stated that
the operation, of the flying horses
could only be rlassed as private
nuisance and mat it was civil mat
ter. Were it public nuisance nc
could take cogrizance of it.

ccs of a compromise practically climi
mated, every indication was that the
Taft and Roosevelt forces would go
into the Republican State convention

ter F. Browne, Roosevelt manager,

vention stands. If anything, it will
be increased. There We're acquisitions
Sunday from the Taft camp"
eve are sure of at least 40 dele
gates, We may get twenty more, but
we will not get seven less" said l.. c.
Laylin, Taft manager. "Our men will
never desert"
There will be a total of 754 dele
gates in the convention with 37S neces
sarv to control. If Brown and Lay
lin are both right in their claims, the
membership would have to be incrcas-
cd to at least $50. Control Of the con-
vention will cary with it the election
of six delegates at large to the Repub-
lican National Convention, possible
