Forty Walters
Get Jobs Despite
Unfair Tactics

Following action by Local $50 of
the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployees' Union, nearly forty wait
ers worked at the banquet given
by the Farmers Union on Thursday
of last week in the st. Paul Audi
torium in spite of an effort to make
the work available for white wait
resses only.
The banquet was served by the
Hotel Lowry and the management
of that establishment informed the
union that colored walters could not
be used, because the Farmers
group wanted white mattresses.
This was said to be in keeping with
three-year-old request made by
the organization giving the ban
quet.
Leonard Johnson, business agent
of the labor union, insisted that the
crews shold at least be made up of
some colored walters since num-
Der of them were ready to go to
work. Some of the local officials
of the Farmers Union stated that
they did not know anything about
request for white mattresses.
One member of the committee of
arrangements for the Farm organi-
cation, who was supposed to be
able to give some information on
the matter, could not be reached for
a statement. Finally the matter
was settled by Mr.. Johnson and a
mixed crew went to work.
