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 White Wry. 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. EXTRA PRICE TWO CENTS 1. H CHIEFS RUSHTO HEPIIH SPLIT Roosevelt Committeemen Con demned for Voting With the Bosses on Contests. 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.
