Waiter Crew

Called to a meeting Tuesday
morning the entire crew of walters
were dismissed by the Nicollet
Hotel management.
No reason was offered by the
hotel officials according to reports
which circulated through Mime
apolis this week.
One theory was that certain
walters had been accused of dis
honesty. Another advanced was
that the white walters union
wanted the job. The Negro crew
was employed September %, to
open the Jolly Miller, a new tap
room and bar installed at the
hotel. The employment of the men
was regarded as an experiment
from the beginning:
The employed personnel were
advertised as Singing walters"
Part of the crew had to be re-
cruited outside the regular walters
fraternity. Walters Union No.
GA was largely responsible for the
placement of the crew.
