ria, City Manager Takes
Decisive Step

The first person who attempts 10
carry a banner in this city TO-DAY, de-
claring any business establishment un-
fair to organized labor, will be promptly
placed under arrest Any attempt To
interfere with the conduct of the bust
ness of any establishment, will meet
with prompt action of the police. ord
ers to this effect were issued last even
ing by City Manager w. A. Parish, fol-
lowing demonstrations yesterday in
front Of the New Palace Cafeteria, on
West Adams street, by members OF the
Cooks and Walters Union, Local No.
631 which resulted in riotous scenes
and a number of arrests.
In an attempt to compel Proprietor
A. q. Smith of the Cafeteria, to classify
his women cashiers and salesWomen as
mattresses and force them to join the
union some of the leaders of the local
organization yesterday morning estab
lished pickets on the sidewalk in front
of the eating house. These pickets
were supplied with small white cards
upon which, printed in green, appeared
these words: New Palace Cafeteria
Unfair We believe in a living wage
for reasonable hours of employment.
Do not patronize business that makes
it's profits from overworked, underpaid
girls Cooks and Walters Union, Lo-
cal No. 631."
At the same time a member of the
union was given ID banner reading:
New Palace Cafeteria Unfair 10 or

in front of the cafeteria.
Along about noon, when customers
of the cafeteria began appearing in
numbers, the pickets became especially
active and supporters of the man with
the banner gathered in little knots
about the street. Seeing that the busi-

with, Mrs. Smith asked that the police
give the place protection. Chief of
| Police Brisbois at once sent officers to
the place, but feeling that there had
| been no disturbance that would war;
rant arrests, declined to do more than

| In the meantime Mrs. Smith. who for
| the day, was in full charge of the place
was trying to reach her husband upon
the telephone and apprise him of the
state of affairs. Failing in this she
| called her son, Marvin Smith, manager
of the Arizona Grocery, who arrived a
few minutes later Fearing that the
| leaders of the demonstration would at
| tempt to enter the place. young Smith
secured a double -barreled shot gun and
placed it within easy reach Proprietor
| Smith having finally been notified of
| the trouble, started for the cafeteria,
securing another shotgun on the way.
Feeling that Governor Hunt might
hold the key to solution of the diff
Guilty Mrs. Smith called him upon I've
telephone, and was advised by him to
ask the men outside to quietly disperse
and cease their annoyance. Leaving
the cafeteria, Mrs. Smith went upon
the street and endeavored to remon-
strate with some of the pickets, One
of the men, carrying the small cards
threw a handful in her face and
laughed, Mrs Smith said
From the inside, Mrs. Grace Morri-
