Agreement With Local

The agreement was finally signed
after negotiations that dragged for
weeks. The final details were worked
out yesterday afternoon and an
nounced by James Mcnamara, busi-
ness agent of the local. Mr.. McNa-
mara said he had accepted the latest
revision Of the agreement.

Albert B. Caldwell, formerly of
New York, now supervising manager
Of the three hotels, which are part of
the Manger chain, said, We've ad-
justed everything satisfactorily to both

This is the first agreement of its
kind in Washington. It was nego-
tiated by the new local, which was
established here last August, and will
affect the service people, including
maids. bellmen, elevator operators,
telephone operators and doormen.
Another local of the same interna-
tional alliance, known as No. 781,
including the kitchen help and wait
ers, was not involved.
Among the changes, Mcnamara
said, would be increases in pay along
the line, a reduction in the number
OF rooms to be made up daily by maids
to peak of 16, and elimination of the
so-called "kick-back" which bellboys
previously had paid the management.
Uniforms also will be paid for by the
management instead of the employees.
Union Recognition Granted.
The management, under the agree
ment, Mcnamara said, recognizes the
new union and plans to call on it
when additional employees are needed.
Representing the union in the nego-
tiations were Mr.. Mcnamara, Miguel
Garriga and Miss Beulah H. Parker,
the last two from the international
alliance.
The new local plans next, according
to Mr.. Mcnamara, to attempt nego-
tiations with the Willard Hotel where
he claims the service employees now
belong to Local No. 80. 1t was at the
Willard that employees of the other ho-
tel employees local, No. 78l, including
