WAITERS OPEN UP
NEW RESTAURANT
' Diners Fill Co-operative Eat
ing House to Capacity Dur
: ing the Entire Lunch
Period.
Striking: cooks, waiters and wait
resses opened their co-operative res
taurant at 1415 Harney street yes
terday noon. Hundreds of itrikers,
who had he en waiting in line, were
immediately fed.
William Sweeney, business agent
and secretary of the Cooks'. Wait
ers' and Waitresses local No. 143,
stated that rood prices at this res
taurant were materially below those
of other restaurants.
Diners filled the new restaurant
to capacity during the entire lunch
period.
Prices Are Cut
Radical reductions in the prevail
ing prices for meals have been an
nounced. In many instances the prices of
meals have been cut to less than
half of the amount charged by
other restaurants. Those engaged
in operating the restaurant are also
receiving higher wages, as the un
ion scale is above that paid by res
taurant owners who have not
reached an agreement with the
strikers.
The food is of good quality, ac
cording to many of the diners who
have been questioned.
Following are some of the prices:
Boiled short ribs with horse radish
sauce, 25 cents; roast sirloin of
beef, 25 cents; roast loin of pork
with apple sauce, 25 cents. Mashed
potatoes and vegetables are served
with each order at the prices named
above.
Profits to Strikers.
According to Mr. Sweeney, all
profits from the operation of the
restaurant will be distributed among
the strikers. The public will share
in the operation by purchasing
meals at a cost below that in other
restaurants, he declared. The res
taurant, which can accommodate
350 people at one time, will be op
erated until the union is successful,
he asserted.
The strike continues, In the mean
time, with no possibility of a quick
settlement apparent. No conces
sions have as yet been made by
either the employers or the Res
taurant Men's association. Picket
ing has been resumed on a larger
scale after withdrawal of the pick
ets from the streets Wednesday.
Arrested Pickets Discharged.
Seven pickets, who were arrested
Wednesday on a charge of disor
derly conduct, were discharged
Thursday morning by Judge Fitz
gerald in police, court.
The judge commended their stand
for higher wages and shorter hours,
but advised against the commission
of rash acts against restaurant
proprietors or pedestrians while do
ing their picket duty.
Those arrested and discharged
were Pearl Hendricks, Mary Flagg,
Myrtle McLane, P. W. Langstrom,
Tack Williams, S. A. Knowles and
Robert Murphy. .

Delmar cafe, Twenty-fourth and
Farnam streets, was arrested Thurs

released on bond immediately.
O'Connor's arrest followed a
threat alleged to have been made
against Harbers when the latter is
aid to have insisted on standing
in the doorway of O'Connor's cafe
Jtvhile on picket duty.
A week ago O'Connor received a
threatening letter, signed "The

C of C Committee
JJrges Employment of
g Expert Gty Forester
' to municipal affairs committee
ft the Chamber of Commerce has
"recommended to the city rouncil the
employment of an expert forester
to care for the trees and shrubbery
of the city.
The committee, headed by W. G.
Brandt has been investigating the
way other cities cared for their
trees and shrubbery bordering
streets, and found that almost every
city in the country employed a for-
" ester, who supervised the trimming
of trees. .
The forester's duties, as outlined
by the committee, will be to super
vise the trimming of trees in all
parts of the city, and to advise resi-
dents regarding the time and man
ner of planting' trees, hedges and
flowers. -

A woman, who said her name was
Mrs. G. A. Houck, and that she
lived at 2114 North Twenty-fourth
street, called at the Ford Livery
Co., Fourteenth and Howard streets,
and rented a car. She left a deposit
of $10, according to the rules of
the company, and drove off in a
Ford. She was an expert driver.
But she hasn't driven back, and
an investigation at the address
given shows that it is a grocery
store and the people there know
nothing of any Mrs. Houck.
Police have been notified to watch
for the woman and car.

brother. T. A. Smith. Huron. S. D..

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.
