Notified Yesterday Evening.

Although the employees knew that a
strike was to be called the first notice
they received of the definite time was
last evening at $50 o'clock. just an hour
and a half before the whistle was blown.
Edward Blochinger. an organizer of the
International Hotel Workers Union. and
r. Richards president of Washington
local, No. ., to which the strikers be-
long, are in charge Of the strikers plans
and have urged the men not to discuss
their business in public places. This
union includes. not only walters. but all
employees of hotels and restaurants. and II
is asserted that at any moment the bell
boys. chambermaids and others will an
swer the strike call. and there is a posi-
bility of the walkout extending to some
of the smaller houses.
Some of the men favored holding back
the strike until election night. but lead.
ers thought it inadvisable, as this would
injure the public.
The walters are asking for more money
shorter hours and decent food" There
also are many rules regarding fines for
breakage which the strikers claim are
unjust.

Ready to Go Out.

Despite the fact that 900 men and boys
Itemployers' eStimate) or 400 (union esti-
| mate) walters and other employees Of the
Ra eigh and New Willard hotels and
the Cafe Republique went on strike last
night at Z O'Clock. leaving the restau-
rants practically destitute of help, the
two hotels claim they served breakfast
to guests this morning with walters
hired in the last twelve hours. The Cafe
Republque opened at noon as usual. a
few of the employees of the Powhatan
Hotel also Quit. but it is said they were
few in number. Clifford Lewis, man
ager of this hosiery, said this morning
that the strike, as far as he was con-
cerned. was thing of the past, and that
he had complete crew in all depart
ments.
1t is different. however, at the Raleigh.
This house was the hardest hit by the
wa kout. The situation is such that
wedding reception which was TO have
been held there this afternoon will be
held elsewhere upon the advice Of the
management.
Bo h the New Willard and the Raleigh
are importing walters from New York
and say that by dinner time tonight they
will have plenty of experienced help.
Claim Recruits Will Quit.
Union officials, on the other hand, claim
that as fast as the hotels recruit their
depleted forces the men will join the
union and quit. The Cafe Republique.
which is controlled by the same propri-
etor as Harvey's. suffered little incon-
venience. Although practically all of the
employees of the Republique quit. Joel
Hilman, manager of Harveys. was
quick to the rescue with automobile loads
morning Mr.. Hillman used his machine
again as a waiter delivery MACON, max
ing several trips to the Union station for
imported colored walters, who were i'm
med ately uniformed.
The managers of the houses ffected
are handling the situation individually.
and so far no meeting of them has been
called. The Raleigh has announced that
1t will hire colOred walters for one of its
dining rooms and use white help in the
other. Manager Weston of the Raleigh
said this morning that positively under
no circumstances would he take back any
of the men who struck. and that colored
walters for the one dining room was
permanent move
1t is possible that the strike will result
in an agreement between the managers
of the affected establishments to hire
colored walters exclusively. The union
Claims prices of food will have to be re-
duced If colored men are employed. All
the managers said this morning they had
no contract with any union, and that the
strike was called without discussion of
any demands of employees. The strikers,
on the other hand claim that demands
were made and ignored, and that the
managers could have averted the strike
by giving consideration to committees
from the union, who saw the employers
several months ago. -

DISTRICT MAY FIGHT
Expected to Enter Objection to
Proposed Merger.
DATA is BEING GATHERED
Corporation Counsel's Office Now
Said to Be Investigating.
BRADD0CK CASE A PRECEDENT
Exceptions Similar to Those Against
Arlington Combine Are Be-
ing Considered.
BRADDOCK CASE A PRECEDENT

Effort may be made by the authorities
| of the District of Columbia to prevent
the absorption of the Washington-Vir-
ginia Railway Company in the thirty-mil-
| lion-dOllar merger scheme being financed
and promoted by the Maryland Virginia
Railway Company.
1t is understood that the office of the
corporation counsel Of the District is
| looking into the question of whether an
objection similar to the one raised against
| the merger of the Braddock Light and
Power Company and Arlington Company
with the holding corporation. which was
sustained by the Virginia corporation
commission, would not be practical for
| the purpose of opposing the taking over
Of the Virginia concern.
Were Not in Similar Business.
The corporation commission decided
against the merging of the electric light
ing companies the ground that the
Maryland Virginia Company cannot be
said to be engaged in a similar business
Inasmuch as the holding corporation is
not engaged in business of any kind. the
question has presented itself to District
officials of whether. under the laws OF
Virginia, it could merge with railroad
company, such as the Washington-Vlr-
ginia.
No further opposition is expected to be
made to the merger scheme by the Alex
andria County Lighting Company. which
owns forty-three shares of the stock or
the Arlington Electric Company. and pc
titiOned the Virginia corporation COM
mission to reject the merger applica-
ton.
1t has been pointed out that the plans
for the merging of the Washington-Vir-
g1nia Company with the thirty-million-
dollar corporation may not NEE. with OBJ
lection unless the District authorities de-
eide to take a hand in the matter.
May Drop Fight on Merger.
According to Leo P. Harlow, attorney
for the Alexandria County Lighting Com
pany. that company in all probability will
drop the fight on the merger unless re-
newed effort should be made TO acquire
the Arlington Electric Company.
1t is understood that. there will be no
appeal from the decision of the corpora
ton commission, and that the merger
promoters will proceed. with their plans
for the absorption Of the Washington
Virginia Company.
A meeting Of the directors Of the lat
ter concern probably will be held within
the next two weeks. Should this property
be acquired. it Won then be possible
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Railway Com
Epany to engage in a general lighting
business and make another application
for the taking over of the Braddock
Light and Power Company and Airing
ton Company.

No Arrests Necessary.

Although many of the strikers admitted
this morning that the hotels will be able
TO get employees to fill their places. they
said that that was what they expected
and that the newcomers would not last
for many Gays before they would be per-
suaded to join the union. Although a
definite decision had not been made this
morning. 1t is probable that mass meet
ing of the strikers will be held toni. t.
Only holders Of union cards will be ad-
mitted
When the strike was called last night
policemen were quickly on the scene. but
no arrests were necessary. All of the
employees entrances are guarded by DO
hcemen today. and in fact policemen are
conspicuous all around the buildings in
question. Groups Of walters are seen
everywhere on the downtown stress
but have been orderly and needed the
move on" injunctions of the police.
Som employees Of the hotes, who re-
fused to quit are unable to get food at
their places OF employment and have
been forced to eat at some Of the more
prebeian eating places. Some of the lunch
rooms at noon today were crowded with
employees Of the New Willard and Raleigh.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-10-24
What the Strikers Demand.

The demands in nutshell are these:
A working week of not more than fifty
eight hours for woman employees, with
an increase Of So month in their pay,
and one day a week off with pay.
a working day of not more than
ten hours for cooks and one day a
week off with pay.
A regular wage of $40 a week for
walters. with two days off each month
with pay.
An increase of Is per cent in the pay
of all other employees.
Better food and working conditions
for all.
The question of better food seems to
be the most important Of all. and the
chief grievance discussed by groups
Of the strikers on the streets today
was that of food. That the strike will
last for some time is the opinion of
the men who have quit.
Following the walkout last night a mass
meeting attended by all the strikers was
held at the old Masonic Temple, 9th and
streets northwest Several speeches
were made and picketing committees ap.
pointed. The members of the committees
were appointed for their persuasive abil-
fly.

but there must be other testimony to
