1900 WATERS
MAY WALK OUT
Secret Meeting Held After Mid.
night to Determine Upon
Action.
D EMANDS MUST BE NE 7
DEMANDS MUST BE NET

As the outcome of a secret meeting
held early this morning. 1t is expected
that a general walkout Of the 1.so0 union
hotel employees Of the city will be order
ed tonight At q general meeting held
late last night no definite action was
taken.
Those who addressed the meeting made
II certain that unless the demands of the
employees are met by the hotels a strike
will result.
A secret meeting of the executive
board OF the local union followed the
adjournment Of the general mass meet
Ing. The decision OF the executive board
will be submitted to the mass meeting
tonight for definite action.
Strike Seems Certain.
Organizer Edward Blochlinger. of New
York, who Is engineering the fight. said
that q strike was certain unless the de-
mands Of the employees are met BY the
hotels.
Il won't say Just when the walkout
will occur. but I will say there will be
one unless our demands are met" he
declared. II don't think the hotels in
the city want to see a walkout. for the
memory Of the strikes in Boston and
New York are too fresh in their minds. I
think that perhaps II We can convince
them that We mean business strike
may be avoided. Everything will be de-
cided Sunday night"
Although the mass meeting was set for
II o'clock, II was nearly l o'clock before
II was called to order. More than 100
employees were present and seemed de-
termined to put the issue up to the hotel
keepers.
Strong appeals for the employees to
assert themselves and compel the hotel
keepers to regard them ''as human be-
ings instead Of machines" were made
by R Richards. Morris Williams. and
Edward Blochlinger.
The meeting was still In session at 3
o'clock this morning. but Organizer
Blochnnger announced that no definite
action would be taken regarding a strike
until tonight.
