New York, Jan. 2s.-Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn is Just woman, but she has
demonstrated her ability to lead a big
strike in New York city. When the
hotel and restaurant walters decided
that they wanted more pay, they asked
Miss Flynn to help them. She played
a prominent and successful part in the
Lawrence, Mass, textile strike year
ago.
She came to New York city about
the time the strike started and has
been on the job ever since. She's a
good organizer and a fiery speaker.
She says the best way to hit the hotel
keepers is to prove that the food they
serve is unclean. Addressing a big
crowd OF strikers the other night, she
said:
II want you all to come and tell
about the adulteration of food. want
you to tell how dishes which are re-
fused by one guest because of their
other guest; and how sauces are
like good food. 1 want you to make
information to the board of health and
to the newspapers.
IF the guests knew half as much
as you do about the food they eat and
the places it comes from, they
wouldn't dare go into some of our best
known hotels and restaurants"
Miss Flynn declared that of course
the board of health wouldn't do any,
thing in the matter, All public off,
