WEBS’ STRIKEI
BODES HADE WAR
Gotham Hotels Are Importing
Negroes to Replace Union
Men Who Walked Out.
NEW YORK, June I.—With 3,728
«aiters and cooks on strike at 33 ho
tels and restaurants and the'war be
tween the hotel, men and their em
ployees spreading rapidly, fear was ex
pressed today that race riots would be
the outcome of the employers’.efforts
to brlng-into the city a number of ne
gro waiters to serve as strikebreakers.
The situation became more menacing
today when the strike leaders declared
that unless the union were recognized
a sympathetic walkout of hotel trades
unions would be ordered. These in
clude engineers, firemen, clerks, electri
cians. mechanics, upholsterers, cabi
netmakers and musicians. If this move,
men were made national, ft would de
moralize the hotel business of the coun
try.
Negroes Being Imported.
The hotel managers defied the wait
ers to call a sympathetic strike and
served notice that the strikers would
be fought to a finish. They asserted
that 1,6*10 negro waiters now on their
way from Baltimore and other South
ern points would be given permanent
positions and the striking waiters
would have no opportunity to return to
work after they once quit.
Financial Secretary Blochlinger of
the union replied to this ultimatum
thus:
"Negotiations are now under way to
bring about an affiliation between the
International Hotel Workers union and
the American Federation of Labor.
Such an affiliation would insure a sym
pathetic strike and a complete victory
for the union.”
Blochlinger also threatened to have
all of the waiters and cooks out of 300
New York hotels and eating places be
fore the strike now in full blast reaches
its climax.
Strikebreakers Under Guard.
The managers of the hotels, alarmed
by the rapid spread of the strike, today
began advertising for strong, nervy
guards who will be used In protecting
such strikebreakers as may be em
ployed in the fight. On the other hand,
the strikers, encouraged by a monster
mass meeting last night at wfllch Rose
Pastor Stokes stirred as many as 6,000
union men as could crowd into Bryant
hall, while the remainder remained on
the sidewalks and repeated the cheer
ing inside, redoubled their efforts.
Th hotels and restaurants at which
the strike was in full swing today were
the Astor, Athene. Buckingham. Bel
mont, Breslin. Bustonobys, Case Des
Beaux Arts, Calumet club. Empire, Elks
club. Gotham. Great Northern, Hermi

jMORE MARINES
LANDEDJN CUBA
President Gomez Gives Consent
to American Troops Protect
ing Property of Foreigners.
HAVANA, June I.—President Gomez
was notified today that American ma
rines had been landed at Daquiri from
the gunboat Paducah.
This Information came from the gov
ernor of Orlente province, which has
been the center of the negro revolt.
Announcement by President Gomez
that the United States marines had
landed was a surprise to United States
Minister Beaupre, who had been in
formed that the situation at Daiquiri
was not serious enough to require
American interference.
Gomez Gives Permission.
According to the government, the
landing was made after President Go
mez had granted permission for such
action in the following dispatch to the
governor of Orlente province:
"You can consent to the landing of
American troops for the protection of
foreign properties. Just as soon as
the American troops occupy a property,
retire the Cuban forces from it, that
they may pursue the rebels."
General Monteagudos’ advance on the
rebels is expected to begin within 24
hours. He has received a plentiful sup
ply of amriiunition. and has enough
machine guns to wage a strong cam
paign.
Rebels Attack
Swedish Colony
SANTIAGO, June 1. —Messengers
from the zone of revolution today
brought word that General Estenoz's
column of rebels still was near Alta
gajcla. where the properties of the
Spanish-American Iron Company are
located, but that the rebels seemed
loath to go into battle. Their evident
aim is to pursue a guerrilla warfare.
One band of rebels attacked the vil
lage at Bayate, where there is a big
Swedish colony, but no casualties
among foreigners were reported. The
•ebels burned several houses and drove
off live stock. A number of Swedes
emigrated to that section from Minne
sota. They have appealed for aid to
the American government.
Residents of a number of villages in
the Guantanamo valley have fled upon
the approach of insurgents. Most of
them went to Guantanamo City.

HOPE WANES FOR
MRS. GUSAMANO
Absent Massachusetts Council
lor Indicates He’ll Cast Vote
Against Commutation.
' 11 •
BOSTON, June I.—Alexander Mc-
Gregor. the councillor upon whose vote
will probably depend the life of Mrs.
Lena Cusamano, under sentence of
death for the murder of her husband,
when the governor’s council meets next
Wednesday, has intimated that he will
vote against commutation, according to
dispatches from Umbagog Lake, Maine,
today.
Mr. McGregor is at Melatlac LaJce.
Questioned as to his attitude upon the
death penalty, he said:
“I have always heard and believed
that the laws of Massachusetts were
the best, the people of Massachusetts
the fairest, and justice in Massachu
setts courts the highest. When I took
the oath of office as councillor I swore
to uphold, rather than to obstruct or
nullify, the state’s laws.
“When the people of the state wish
the death penalty put aside they will
change the laws. However, I do not
wish to state how I will vote next
Wednesday. I have not been informed
of the grounds upon which commuta
tion Is sought.”
Mr. McGregor planned to start today
fbr Boston. He was the only councillor
absent last Wednesday when the coun
cil voted four to four on the question
of commuting Mrs. Cusamano's sen
tence, The question will be reconsid
ered next Wednesday.
In Mrs. Cusamano's cell, to lighten
the gloom of the death house, a nose
gay of flowers is kept constantly.
Enrico Mascioli, sentenced to die
with her as her accomplice in the mur
der of her husband, is in his cell a few
yards away, watched night and day,, as
he waits for the chair.
