CHICAGO HOTEL PIGKETING GOES INTO 6TH YEAR

If You Want to Know Why, | You'll Have to Call ‘The Boss.’

CHICAGO, April 21 (NEA).—An elderly woman, with a “sandwich man” sign over her shoulders, »aces steadily back and fortn at the imposing entrance of Chicago's fash-

jonable Edgewater Beach Hotel on Sheridan road.

Summer and winter she or someong else has walked there for nearly SIX years, night and day, to and fro within a space of 100 feet. The sign she carries reaas: “This Place Is Unfair to Organized Labor,” under which is a conglomeration of letterssuch as HL. R. E. 1. A, B. 1. L. A, OC Fol. A Fofl, 1. PF of L.

Ask the Boss

The woman shakes her ia) She will not talk to strangers, but | she nods toward a nearby wag

station. “Ask the boss,’ she replies. “He's over there.” . The boss is a well-dressed, heavyset man, who gives you a telephone | number to call if you want information. However, he explains what all} the letters on the sign mean. | The letters stand for Hotel and |

Federation of Labor, and Interna-! tional Federation of Labor. N Ww This appears to be the longest| successive picketing effort in his-| tory, so you call the number and | ask for Mr. McLane. He is George B. McLane, president of the Chicago Trades and Crafts Council of the American Federation of Labor. “The picketing of the hotel began April 12, 1933,” he says, “and the issue is the right of the hotel employees to organize.” Fie “ils “Did any employees leave the MADISON, Wis.
