Walters Demands
Won as AFL Heads
Stop Hotel Strike
Force Park Central To
Grant Pay; Led by
Industrial Union

NEW YORK-While Walters Union
officials were calling off the proposed
general strike on the pretext that 8
new hearing would be called at 3
future date to take up chances in the
N. r. A. code, more than 100 waters
of the Park Central Hotel presented
demands to the management and won
substantial gains under the leader
ship of the Food Workers industrial
Union.
Before the demands were made, the
walters at the Park Central were
working without wages. The manage
ment fearing strike yielded to their
demands and conceded $40 month
for two meal steady walters, IS extrS
for New Years Eve, a 9-nour day and
a 6-day week, reinstatement OF two
workers fired for union activity, lock-
ers and recognition of an elected shop
committee.
This victory should inspire the
walters in other hotels to take similar
action despite the A. F. Of L. officials
treachery, the Industrial Union points
out. The action of the A. F. Of l..
officials III calling off the general
strike is a direct violation Of the de-
cision Of the membership ct their
mass nesting. A str Ike vote was taken
with tho understanding that q strike
would be called unless the code were
changed. The officials nave received
no such assurance. They are merely
dsceiving the members again with
false promises.
Under pressure of their rank and file,
officials of the A,nalgamated Food
Workers yesterday came to the Office
of the Food workers Industrial Union
to take up the question of united
front in the strike, While the A. F..
w. representatives refused to accept
the proposal for joint committee
and joint organization drive III
preparation for the general strike, the
representatives of both unions agreed
on some minor points and will confer
again on the question of united
action.
At the mass meeting Of the Anal
gamated Food Workers Union Thurs
day night, the speakers declared
themselves the only ones i'll favor Of
unity but failed to mention that the
Food Workers Industrial Union had
taken the initiative in calling for
unity, nor of the conference which
had taken place.
Meanwhile the Hotel and Restau-
rant Workers Union and the Cafeteria
Workers Union, sections of the Food
Workers Industrial Union are going
ahead full blast i'll the drive to pre-
pare for struggle against the code
and for better conditions. Part OF
those preparations will be mass
meeting called by the Union at Palm
Garden, 306 W. Sind ST., Wednesday,
Jan. 8, at $50 p. m, where plans
for the strike will be discussed.
Leaders of the A. F. of l.. and Anal
gamatsd Food Workers Union have
been invited to come to the meeting
and state their position on unity and
on strike.
Rank and file members of the A.
F. Of l.. and the A. T. W. and I'm
organized workers are urged to attend
the meeting.
Preparations to resist the proposals
TO call off a general strike should be
made Immediately by the rank and
file in the A. F. OF L. Opposition
| forces in the unions should inme-
diately call for local meetings and
mobilize the workers to reject the
proposals and vote for strike.
