C; a sister, Mrs. Clarence Rich mond Day, Washington, D. C; a brother. T. A. Smith. Huron. S. D.. and an aunt, Mrs. J. W. Maynard, of this city. To the Public in General and to my Friends and Patrons in Particular: As I am feeding from fifteen hundred to two thousand people per day, and as my service owing to labor troubles has been crippled for the past few days, It has oc curred to me that it is due the public to state the facts in relation to the labor problem as far as I am concerned. I understand there has been more or less talk in reference to my sign ing up with the Cooks' Union and afterward repudiating same. I de sire to make the positive statement that neither myself nor any author ized agent of mine ever signed any agreement with the above Union. I did grant them a personal interview and went as far as I possibly could with them in their requests regard ing my employes. Their exactions continued to multiply until I was compelled to refuse to have any thing further to do with them. They then, exercised their authori ty by calling a walk-out without notice, of all my kitchen and cafe teria help at 12 o'clock noon Tues day, September 9th. There was no question of wages involved as the salaries I was pay ing were higher than their schedule. Previous to their calling on me I had granted these employes a six day week with seven days pay. When they finally insisted that I should employ none other than those from their office and that my cafe teria help should be unionized, I declined to treat with them further. I stated in unequivocal terms that I was committed absolutely to the principle of open shop and when engaging employes did not ask them whether they were union or not All I asked of them was efficient serv ice. I avail myself of this oppor tunity to thank my many friends and patrons for their loyalty and patience. Adv. ROME MILLER.
