THE HOTEL EMPLOYEES , STRIKE.
DEMANDS OF THE UNION
SYDNEY, February 27
Over 400 men and girls are directly concerned in the strike of hotel and restaurant employees at Broken Hill.
Boarders are making their own beds and preparing their own meals. The bread carters decline to deliver bread at houses not accepting tho union log.
The strikers paraded the streets, entered the hotels where non-unionists were employed, and temporarily taking charge, ejected the non-unionists. The police had great difficulty in restoring order.
The members of the Municipal Employees' Union declined to sweep the streets in front of non-union houses.
The Union is demanding 25s and keep for girls, and £3 15s for waiters and barmen, irrespective of age.
