Germ and a union whose principal
officers are colored men.
Membership in the union is COM
posed of walters, mattresses, cooks
and bus boys. In the seven weeks
of negotiation between the union
and the hotel management, the
hotel was represented by L. F. and
C. C. Melloney, officials and prin-
cipal stockholders of the hotel,
while the union was represented
by A. B. Cassius, business agent;
Harry Lucas, president of the
Local; Floyd Smith, vice president,
and Edward Hayes.
In addition to the fiat increase in
wages for the regular walters and
bus boys the agreement provides
for better working conditions and
larger compensation for extra
workers.
The negotiations according to
union officials were entered into
in fine spirit by the employers rep
resentatives but, as in all such
cases, the employees had to battle
for each concession.
Local GA was formed in 1885
with % members. Its present mem
bership is 100. The organization
has had its ups and downs but a
faithful few have kept on paying
their dues and working forward to
the day when its strength would be
felt. The Curtis Hotel agreement
will go long way toward convinc-
ing the walters and other workers
of the value of organized coopera-
ton.
Much praise is heard for the
logical manner in which GA con-
Quoted its part of the negotiations.
