SPOILS CHILDREN'S CLOTHES
Man Finds 1t Expensive to Throw Out
Dishwater.

Heaving a pan of greasy dishwater
out of the back door seems like an in
nocent and inconspicuous act, but this
did not prove the case for Peter Afa
naris of Bath, Me-, who has just paid
1851 rather than spend 60 days in
Jail, per the sentence accorded to him
by Judge Keegan.
Peter had washed some dishes and
was in the act Of dumping the water
and some refuse out of the back door
of a Washington street restaurant
when along came two kindergarten
children, five and thirteen years old,
whose best clothes were spoiled.
The dishwater spread itself over
their ginghams and muslins, their
pretty little hats and all their rib
bons. 1t broke thc'z hearts and made
their folks mad" Peter paid the fine
and costs and went home to ponder
his dishpan luck.

After a three months campaign set
afoot by French hotel workers to have
all French hotels run by purely
French personnel, Gustave SchWenter,
the manager of the Hotel Meurice,
and all other Swiss managers in Paris
have been forced to resign.
Schwenter is one of the best known
hotel managers in Europe. He was
put in to manage the Meurice when If
opened 10 years ago, and his methods
attracted American travellers. Royalty
also was attracted to the Meurice, it
being the favorite hotel of the Queen
of Spain, the ci-devant king of Mon
tenegro and others of princely blood
In a statement announcing his resig-
nation, Schwenter said:
II am Swiss, and the French hotel
workers don't want any Swiss en-
ployees round their hotels. | want no
trouble at the Meurice, so have quit.
Give Heroes Jobs.
SIN justice to myself, however, l
wish it to be known that all my men
who have been demObilized have been
reinstated in their old places, with
double their prewar pay; those still
in the army had a firm promise from
me that they could come back just as
soon as they were free. We had per-
sonnet of 260 here and 225 of these
people were French"
Following Mr.. Schwenter's move, all
other hotel managers in Paris not Of
French nationality have resigned.
The whole movement began when
certain French managers, on being lib
Grated from the colors, found that
while they had been in the army Swiss
hotel men had taken their places, and
as they had given satisfaction to the
financial interests concerned there was
no disposition to remove them from
their jobs.
The same state of things applied on
a bigger scale to all classes of hotel
workers-cooks, kitchen hands, por.
tiers, bellboys, walters, etc.

IL
the Hotel Industry" was organized,
with the object of sweeping all the
Swiss, Spanish and Italian hotel
workers out Of Paris, and, under
threats of disturbances, employers
have had to give way. The same
pressure is being brought to bear on
restaurant men, and there is no doubt
that it will be equally successful.
] have talked over the situation with
hotel and restaurant men and also
with some well known chief walters
and chefs in Paris. They recognize
the claim of all demobilized men to be
able to return to old jobs, but there
is q very nervous undercurrent of
opinion that the movement is being
carried too far and with Interior mo-
tives.
One view expressed by n hotel man
is that once the French hotel work
ors have matters completely in their
own hands there will be all kinds of
claims for concessions in regard to
pay and working hours, that service
in the hotels and restaurants will suf-
fer, that prices will go still higher,
and that the inevitable result will be
that foreign visitors, and particularly
will think twice about
coming to Paris if, as is feared, the
hotels are to become yet more expen-
sive and the service loose and gen.
orally inefficient.
Any attempt to bludgeon the hotel
and restaurant men is bound to lead
to an atmosphere of discomfort in just !
those places where hospitable at
is most valuable as bust
ness asset.
