Tenants Of Blackstone Pro.
pose to Call Meeting Of
Protest Against His
Leaving.

F. w. Rothcry, whose resignation
as manager of the Blackstone hotel
was announced last week, yester-
day made an announcement that he.
and the North American Hotel Co.
agreed to disagree over policies
which the company wanted to
adopt.

increase over the corresponding
month Of the previous year The
books will show. that. In Septem-
Der OF this year the net profit was
S,064.40, which was the best month
in the history of the hotel.
Tenants Disapprovs Action.
During the first IS months Of the
operation of the Blackstone, there
were six resident managers in addi-
ton to a general manager, accord-'
ing to Mr.. Rothery.
Some OF the tenants OF the Black
stone have. been discussing the mat
ter OF, calling a meeting of protest
against the removal of Mr.. Rathery
whose administration met with gen.
eral approval.
Mr.. Rothery was elected vice pres
ident for Nebraska at the last an
nual meeting of the Northwestern
Hotel Mems association at Chicago.
He is also chairman of the board of
governors of the Nebraska-Iowa Ho-
tel Clerks association.
Hotel Needed Him Badly.
He submitted the following let
ter, which was written by E. w. Ex-
ley, general manager of the North
American Hotel company, to an ex-
enption board during the period Of
the war:
"The Blackstone hotel, for obvi-
GUS reasons, is very difficult prop
erty to manage, and for the first few
months we had great trouble in Sc
curing a manager who could operate
it successfully. It passed through
the hands of half a dozen men on
trial. Mr.. Rothery is the first man.
ager who has made success of it,
and who has passed the probation
ary period, for he has now been man.
ager forsa year and his administra-
ton meets with popular approval as
well as our own. Were he taken
from us it would most seriously Grip
pie us; indeed, we feel that he could
not be replaced.
"We have had large number of
our important employees taken from
us. 1t has been q hardship, but
both they and we realize it was a
patriotic duty and we made no eff
fort~to retain them, but in this case
we most earnestly pray the officers
of the local board to grant Mr..
Rothery's exemption. Not. only is
he essential, absolutely necessary as
"a manager and principal executive
of that important hotel. but willing
as he is to serve his country wher-
ever it wants him. he is the sole
support and comfort of a sorely
distressed and i'm mother and
I blind brother. know of few
men who have been as prodigai Of

family as has Mr.. Rothery and we
