Waiters Battle Hotels in New York Strike Tactics
New York police used revolvers to hold back about 800 strikers and sympathizers after nine were arrested at the Savoy Hotel on disorderly conduct charges. Strikers attempted to storm the Hotel Netherlands as police barricaded at the Metropolitan Club, amid traffic disruption on Fifth Avenue. The Hotelmen's Association refused arbitration as about 700 workers in 12 hotels walked out, with meals and staffing affected at Delmonico's and other noted houses. The union claimed recognition is paramount and threatened a full walkout of roughly 12,000 waiters and cooks if needed.
