BEST TIME FOR HOTEL MEN.
The strike could not have happened
at a better time for the hotel men and they
do not hesitate to say 80. Many OF the
hotels could close down their restaurants
for the summer and save money. The
hotel men say that they lose money in
summer and II they could cut down their
payrolls it would help them a lot.
There was some joy az the headauar-
ters of the strikers when somebody came
in and whispered the word that the head
walters were in sympathy with the strikers
and thought Of joining them. There was
no such indicat ion at the club of the head
Writers, the Elite. which has quarters in
the Elks Building. in West Forty-fourth
street. The boss walters were playing
cards and were seemingly happy. they
said they were sorry for the men and OF
course liked them. but they couldn't sec
why they should join them As matter
Of fact, head walters and captains have
turned in and worked hard. while man
ayers and assistant managers who have
had experience "a stewards have gone to
kitchens and labored over fires.
COLLEGE MEN Oct JOBS WITH TRAYS.
Several of the hotels now have college

had received applications from about
fifty college men who wanted Jobs. Only
one or two Of them had been accom-
youth and in other hotels where there
has been trouble there are college boys
who are earning money in the places oi
striking walters. A hotel man said yes
terday that waters from smaller cl,les
who had little experience but could I've
trained in a short time were trooping to
town. having in mind that the waiter in
an expensive hotel here made as much az
