men we're called out from five places
the big blow they had planned for the
night activities fzzled out with hardly
q noise, and only three Of the thirteen
nIaces marked for the evening sacrifice
we're affected.
So high was the spirit of fight during
the day, however, that the members
of the executive board of the In
ternstional Hotel Workers Union

bonifces, took to fighting bitterly
among themselves. resulting in the en-
pulsion from the board of w. p. Mueller
and the suppression of 10" Elster here
after as a talker, except in secret meet
ings of the union, when ne will be al
lowed to harangue all he wants to.
There was apparent about strike head
quarters, however, a great slump in the
movement. Instead of the cheering
bands of brothers" swarming into the
headquarters. bringing tidings of some
new walkout every few minutes, as On
previous nights, the place was almost
deserted. More than one late enthusiast
came into the rooms of the organization
and told the leaders there they had be-
gun to fear the movement was doomed
to failure.
