Just a short while before the execu-
tive committee went into conference
trouble happened in the building that
wellnigh ended in rioting. one OF the
striking walters. described as tall
broad-shouldered German. had been
attempting, it was understood, to per-
suade the strikers TO go back to work.
Many of the walters reported TO their
leaders that they had heard of the
German going about the hotels at
tempting to dissuade the walters from
their intention of continuing the strike.
When the man arrived in the building
the strikers, already angered at the eX-
ecutive session. rushed upon him and
beat him with their fists. Just how faH
their violence might have gone cannot
be known. for Patrick Quinlan jumped
into the fray. grabbed the German by
the arm and swung him into clothes
closet. Then Quinlan placed his back
against the door and ordered the strik-
crs TO disperse and leave the man
alone.
The greatest disturbance of the day
took place when the Ritz-Carleton cap
tain was attacked in the streets. For
hours fully fifty strikers had been
parading around and around the hotel.
