DIXIE'S WAITERS
TO BREAK STRIKE
Exodus of Negroes From State
of Georgia Expected to
Result.
An invasion of the . South for ne
groes to break the great waiters strike
In the most luxurious hotels and res
taurants of New York was planned to
day, according to information received
in Atlanta. Agents of tiie Waidorf-
Astoiia. the Vanderbilt. Rector’s, the
Astor and other famous hostelrles were
said to be on their way to this section
to round up blacks to take the place
of the skilled Europeans whose walk
out has Caused tile lobster belt in Man
hattan all sorts of anguish the past
ten days.
An exodus of blacks from Georgia
and other Southern states is looked for
as a result of this unexpected move.
News of the places to be had up North
has already spread among the colored
domestic help here and*'many a house
hold in Atlanta is threatened with a
resignation from a butler dreaming of
automobiles and country places ob
tained with tips gleaned on tiie Greit

Foreign Invasion
Os South Likely.
However, there is little likelihood of
a deal til of help, as the supply of
butlers and valets and handy men in
gene: n| is said to be far in excess of
tiie demand, it is probable, however,
that the proposed move will mean an'
influx of foreigners into jh< South.
Most of tiie polished help in the lux
urious cases of New York is of either
French. Swiss or German nationality
Atlanta may expect Adolph, Gaston
and Henri to lie packing their grips
and hiking Southward if the importa
tion of negroes should break the strike
they have been waging with remark
able success thus far.
Hotel keepers in New Yoik are plan
ning, it was said, to keep the colored
help permanently, throwing out of work
a vast army of skilled Europeans.

FAILURE TO BACK INDIANA
FIGHT CHAGRINS COLONEL
‘Boss' Flynn May Take Charge
of Progressive Forces on
Committee Floor.
CHICAGO, June It.—Reorganization
of the field forces of former President
Roosevelt, the possible coming of the
colonel himself and a shift in the floor
leadership of the Roosevelt men before
the Republican national committee
promised to take place today as a re
sult of the steam roller work in the In
diana delegate cases. Kentucky cases
were scheduled to come before the com
mittee today. The contests included
delegates at large and those represent
ing seven districts. They are important
in the colonel’s fight for nomination.
In order to make his fight good he
must win the Kentucky cases, the
Michigan casesand the Missouri cases
at least. Tiie loss of Indiana was a
severe blow to him —particularly from
a political point of view-—and so the
tight before the national committee is
to be reorganized.
Roosevelt himself was thoroughly
displeased when his representatives on
the national committee voted with the
Taft men to seat the contested dele
gates-at-large from the Hoosier state.
The manner of the election of those
delegates was one of the things about
which the colonel has had much to say.
The primary in Marion county—lndian
apolis lie had characterized as one of
tiie erookedest in the history of the
country. To have his own men turn
to support the Taft men in this fight
was a blow at the underlying principle
in the colonel’s campaign. Nothing
that has happened since the national
committee went into session and
ground out its first day’s quota of
Taft votes has pleased the Taft lead
ers so much.
T. R. Committeemen
Displease Contestants.
And that is not all. There have
been differences among the Roosevelt
leaders. They have changed their plans
frequently since the fight. Yesterday’s
moves added new dissensions. Fur
thermore, it lias caused dissatisfaction
among the contesting delegates who are
fighting for representation in the con
vention. Michigan mon and Kentucky
leaders who were billed to star in the
next seance with the steam roller were
so angry last night that they threat
ened not to go into the contests. Thej
frankly ’that tiie Roosevelt
men. knowing what the real merits in
the cases were, must vote with them or
they would not make a fight.
The action of the floor leaders in the
commitee room in voting against their
own contests from the very first has
created surprise, and as the Taft men
view it, has weakened their case. Harry
New, chairman of the sub-committee
on arrangements, and one of the real
leaders on the Taft side, has character.
