«. I*. E. 1. BULLETIN
The Strike of the Colored Wallers at
The Omaha Athletic Huh
Late In September, 1915, eleven
Omaha waiters, who depended largely
upon extra work in hotels, met ami d*
elded upon unity, and they refused t)
affiliate with organized labor because
of the following points:
1. There was a local union of white
waiters in Omaha who refused to ad
mit colored waiters or work with
them.
2. Any hotel where white union
i waiters worked, colored men were not
employed.
3. Whatever meant success for
| white waiters was failure for the col
i oi ed and vice versa.
Their interest was antagonistic and
competitive from the outset, and affili
ation could only be a mockery so pro
nounced as to be an insult to the in
telligence of well thinking men.
The following May, 1916, they or
ganized the Waiters' Protective and
Employment Association, with head
quarters and meeting rooms at the
Warden hotel, 817 North Sixteenth
street. Their membership increased
rapidly and their officers were en
thusiastic. Where men had worked
extra for regular men’s pay, they now
demand and receive $3 per day. Men
formerly receiving 50 cents a meal at
the Commercial Club asked for and re
ceived 1 tier meal.
The association furnished the Bla-k
stone hotel with its first colored crew,
who displaced the white crew. When
the Athletic Club was built, Mr. Cray,’!
the prospective head waiter, consulted
the association three consecutive
times, this being the strongest organi
zation of colored waiters of Omaha
ami Lincoln at that time. The terms
under which the Athletic club was to
handle its waiters were arranged at
these meetings. With the highest j
wages, best working conditions and i
more choice of employment than any j
other city in the country, Omaha soon ,
became the haven of colored waiters.
Every request made by them of their I
employers was readily conceded. Why?
Because they were a recognized power.
The result of this w-as that they be
■ame imbued with such a feeling of se
curity that since October, 1920, they
have discussed the advisability of dis
banding the association, and the cli
max came at their mass meeting on |
January 15, 1921, when some of the1
members decided that the services of
the association were no longer neces
sary and less than fifty days after they
had decided to disband their organiza
tion. leaving the obligations on the
shoulders of its officers, the Athletic
Club decided to cut the waiters' wages
Consequently the waiters walked out
March 6. Who will fight their battles
now?
The officers of this association are
anxious to imitate our Savior and we
say like him. “Tho you sin seven times
seventy and then some you are yet our
brethren and we will forgive you.”
You cannot win this fight alone, so let
us win it together If the Athletic Cluti !
beats you in this, the hotels and rail
roads will do likewise, and so we ad
vise you to call at our headquarters.'
