THEY WON'T GIVE UP

tied Cook Waiter Walkout.

"Kamerad" is a word unknown in
the vocabularies of either the striking
members of the cooks and walters
union or of the employers who are af-
fected by the strike. According to
all reports today the situation is still
at the same place that it was Saturday.
The cooks and walters are picketing
the cafes and restaurants at the busy
hours of the day. But as before the
picketing is orderly and free from any
threats or attempted intimidation.
Interviews with the proprietors his
morning resulted in the revelation
that the employers are standing n
body on the demand for the closed
shop. So far as can be ascertaineG
this one demand, for the closed shop.
is the pill which the employers refuse
to swallow. Every cafe and restau-
rant owner interviewed gave as his
reason for standing pat on the general
stand this: "If we consent to the
closed skop, we will in effect deliver
our business into the hands of the
union. For if the union should ever
then decide to strike we would be
practically helpless"
Some of the cafes were closed Sun
day, but this morning all of them
were again open for business.

While the weeks total casualties
were the largest announced for any

any of the casualties which have re-
suited from the heavy fighting in
which the Americans have been par
ticipating since last Monday are in
cluded in the totals. The process of

The war department intends to keep

to the new German effort to shake
American morale and disturb military

with its sinking of four coal barges
and a tug off the Cape Cod shoals
sunday came as no surprise to well
