Fighting Talk Popular.
This sentiment was cheered by the
crowd Of strikers gathered about, and
was taken by some TO indicate definitely
q new turn in the trouble, following as u
did closely upon the announcement from
the State Board Of Arbitration in tbs
late afternoon that all Its efforts 10
bring about arbitration had failed. The
} union had been approached and signifisj
its willingness to meet the hotel fnea
again to discuss demands. But when
the hotel men were seen they definitely
and curtly declared that they would
never arbitrate or treat with representa-

what way IL was to be used, he said. he
could not tell.
| There was an obvious change In tho
mood Of the strikers. too. Many az
them have been out now for ten days
or more and are feeling the pinch OF no
money. They were beginning to realize
that they were not affiliated with any
unions that could furnish them with
financial support and that their own
treasury was not large enough to stand
siege.
Instead of chilling their spirits, their
leaders said, desperation and anger at the
continued obduracy Of the hotel men were
turning their fervor. which previously
had been merely for the cause, into the
desperation of .self-preservation.
In marching up Fifth avenue to the
Hotel Netherland the mob paused H.
front Of the st. Regis and the Savoy
and made noisy demonstrations. They
were kept moving by the police before
there was opportunity for rioting. Ono
man was arrested i'm front of the ST.
