TEA.
BY "GNI."

TEA
Tea used to be a strong, virulent
drink.
But today it is so weak it has to
ride to the dining room on a thirty
dollar wagon.
We owe some department store
or other that much besides a debt
of gratitude for supporting our
share of the now puny and decrepit
beverage to the table.
We know a man who frequently
drives his wife into a blind rage by
saying:
agnes. if the tea isn't able to be
up and around today you might
wheel US in a cup
One of these days she'll hit him
with the wagon

in the Morrison. And the Edelweiss
Beer Tunnel, next door, is under the
patronage of Harry MOir.
Of all manufacturers, distillers are
considered the worst opponents Of
organized labor. Brewery workers
have secured the right to organize,
but unlimited money has been spent,
and successfully, to keep the unions
out of the distiIleTies.
Ethel Bros, owners of the Bis
marcks, are considered by union men
to be among the leaders Of the
whisky ring, just as they are big
guns in the Retail Liquor Dealers
assn, the Hotel Keepers assn and
the Restaurant Keepers assn. They
say the Bismarck strike is more than
an issue between the Bismarck and
its workers. It is an issue between
hotel keepers, alias the whisky ring,
and union labor
The fight must go on until the
powerful grip which the liquor inter-
ests hold over the lives of men and
women, over we restaurant employees
in particular is broken.
The whisky ring, hating union la
Dor, will not permit the restaurants
to treat with US. The hotels will not
even send to our headquarters when
they want cooks; instead union cooks
looking for work must go to the sa-
loon of Hitler & Wohlgemuth, 412 S.
Wabash av., and apply to the man
behind the bar for a job. The hotels
and restaurants telephone to this sa-
loon when they need cooks. One can
scarcely blame the salOOnkeepers if
he gets the jobs for his best custom

/ ness that puts a premium on its
workers drinking.

ALLEGED OWNERS OF
BY FRED EBELING,
Business Representative, Cooks and
Pastry Cooks Assn.
Behind the strike of walters, cooks
and bartenders at the Bismarck hotel
and Bismarck gardens there is more
than a demand of workers for better
conditions; there is more than the
refusal Of the proprietors to recOg-
niZe the union; there is a much big
ger stake.
The strike at the Bismarck hotel
and gardens is in reality the warning
of organized labor upon whisky and
the whisky ring
The whisky ring is composed prin-
cipally of distillers and brewers, who,
with the aid of LaSaIle street bank
ers, have built or secured control of
the majority of downtown hotels and
restaurants.
There is profit, of course, in hotel
rooms and food, but there is much
greater profit in cocktails, riCkeys,
bottled wine, beer, ETC., so much, in
fact, that a restaurant keeper figures
his biggest share Of profit as coming
from the sale of booze.
Booze sale profits in cafes and no
tel restaurants were so prime and
fancy that the booze manufacturers
did not overlook a bet. They stepped
right in and got the retail sale on
their stuff for themselves by building
or buying the hotels. They saw a
chance to have the cake and eat it,
too, and they went to it with the sup
port of a thoroughly scientific fnan-
ciaI plan that brought LaSalle street
with them.
1t is said that the real hackers of
the New Morrison hotel is the
