matter up and let you decide for yourself
as TO who backed out and whether il would
be joke TO any intelligent man or not
AS for the Cooks Union BACKING down on
the matter of arbitration, this is fasehood
The last agreement in the court house was
that Mr.. James and Mr.. Davis secure an
other union man to act with the one they
had already secured and that these men
would meet at the court house at s p. m.
Monday and arbitrate the matter with the
men the union had already secured. This
agreement was made in the forenoon Mon
day. This they failed to do, and when call
ed upon by the men representing the union,
Mr.. Davis said that the man he had tried
10 get was suspended from his union and
was not eligible to serve or the board lie
also stated that he had seen two other
union men and that they would not serve
end that he would just let il 20 al that and
call the matter off. We sincerely wish you
10 take notice of this phase o. the contro-
versy, and ask your opinion as to who did
the backing out. Mir. Davis and Mr. James
say the Union did and we say this is false
hood.
The Cooks Union is sill waiting to arbi-
trate and their representatives are ready To
act at any time, bit we viii insist that this
board be composed Of union men, because,
according 10 Mr.. Davis and Mr.. James own
statements, the only questions involved are
pertaining to The laws Of the Union.
Now, we did not intend to take this trou-
bic to Europe, as Mr.. Davis and Mr.. James
suggest we should but as they prefer TO
ring in the Kaiser, we will say that we have
no intentions OF debating to President VIII
son OF the Kaiser as to how they shall set
tie the war, as we know the greatest friend
organized labor ever had in the presiden-
t,al chair il able 10 handle this question.
The Kaiser has fathercd and built TIP a
great military organization 10 subject and
dictate TO some of his foreign competitors
and has taken il upon himself to interpre-
tate all international laws MIR. Davis has
fathercd and assisted in building up the
Cooks and Walters Union Of this city SO
that he might dictate 10 and exterminate
some of ais lo-,l competitors and TO be the
judge and Interpretation Of al CT the laws
Of the Union.
The Cooks and Walters Union refuses to
lie used for any personal or selfish desires,
and believes in justice to all.
Ma Dsyi, and Mr.. James claim that this
tfovble h1, arisen over a personal grudgc %
long standing We wish TO assure you ~,
our fight is not fight Of personal affairs
or grudges Of long standing, but that we
are fighting foc the principles Of Unionism,
with right and justice to all.

the stand they have tal,cn in favor Of JUS

any further particulars which you may d.
sire TO learn Of this matter will be gladly
rendered IL you vii call at the Central

In reply TO the statement made by "jeffs'
Cafe No. 2" and George James Cafe, that
they did sign and live up 10 their contracts
with The Cooks ard Waiters' Union, we
wish to say that they did not live up to
their contract, and this is the reason the
Union Card was removed from their places
of business.
Messrs. Davis and James claim that the
Union did not give them ample time to
make the necessary changes in their crews
and arrange their shifts so they could com
ply with their contracts which they had
signed with this Union. We wish to in
form you that the Union gave the prorrie-
tors concerned two full weeks to make
these changes, If such were necessary, and
we believe that If changes had TO be made
that thi: was sufficient time in which 10
make them
Messrs Davis and James further inform
you in their circular which they issued Set
urdsy that the Union held a kangaroo court
and illegally tried and Illegally expelled a
man who was working for MIR. Davis be-
fore the card was taken out of his place
We wish TO state in reply 10 this state
ment that il is absolutely untrue. If this
was true Of the case, the party so Illegally
tried and expelled can take the matter to
the General Executive Board OF the Hotel
and Restaurant Emloyes' association and
If he does not receive satisfactory results
from this body he has the power to take it
to a still higher body, namely, the General
Convention. He could take IL even higher
than this if he cared to, but up to the pres
ent time he has not appealed to any Of the
above bodies MIR. Davis and MIR. James
also assert that this party was not given
ample time or proper means to defend him
self. This assertion is also untrue as the
party so tried and expelled vas present at
his trial end was given chance to defend
himself in whatever manner he thought
best But this he did 10. 30, and told the
Union to do with him rs il saw fit, in Ism
guage improper to put in print
Mr.. Davis further asserts that bunch
of waters and cooks from other rcstau-
rants came TO his nlsce Of business and
started rough house and fought with one
of his employees. This is ,rve, but VIC wish
to inform you that we do not approve OF
such actions and wish to do our business
in a business manner and roi in a rough
and-tumble way. We feel that as this may
look queer to the public after We have d.
clared ourselves to be peaceful body, hal
an explanation is necessary IS 60 th- con-
ditions which led to this fight and which
Mr.. Davis has not so fer explained. We
believe i any man or body q men repre-
senting Union and goinC into place Of
business or business matter ard in 2 gea-
tlemanly way should be met by brother
of the same Union and be treated n = rude
manner and called names which are IN
becoming 10 state here thu, he or they, 4
they had any true American blood in them,
would start such fight
Now comes the matter OF arbitration,
which Mr.. Davis and Mr.. james calls your
attention TO and also which lhoy onpha-
size was suggested by the some FAIR
crowd" and which they claim is a joke TO
any intelligent man. We wish 20 clear his
