SERVICE KEPT
OPERATING
LUTED BASIS
Some Workers Remain on
Job, Help Executives
Run Hostelries.
PORTLAND, Juno 9 (AP)
Marching pickets and bewildered,
stalr-cllmblng guest a today
marked a strike which drew
12f0 to 2000 hotel employes
rrom their work In eight of the
city's largest hotels yesterday.
Elevator operators, aw 1 1 c fa
board girls, bellhops, dining
room and kitchen employes,
clerks, chambermaids and port
ers alt joined the exodus, or
dered by the unions Involved to
force recognition from employ
ers. Semblance of Service
However, certain groups In at
coat several hotels refused to
accept the unions' edict, and tbe
Multnomah, one of the largest,
claimed 76 employes stayed on
the Job.
No hotels were closed, and all
attempted to keep up a semblance
of service, with managers han
dling registration desks, carrying
baggage ami - preparing rooms. :
A union statement declared a
strike deadline had been Ignored
by oporntors , who, the unions
said, had been "unfair" In "re
fusing to llro up to tbolr agree
ment to arbitrate and In asking
the unions to hold an election
to prove their right to exist as
functioning organizationa for col
lective bargaining."
Claim No Notice Given
A statement signed by the
picketod hotels, the Benson,
Portland, Heathman, New Heath
mnn, Roosevelt, Congress, Mnlt
nomnh and Imperial, asserted
they were given no notice of a
strike, and thnt there was no
dispute with employes.
"Moro than ID days ago we
requested our employes to ad
vise us of their choice of a rep
resentative for collective bar
gaining," the statement said.
"Wo received no reply. . ."
Employes, questioned by re
porters, wero divided in their
olnlons, some censuring the
unions and others declaring op
orntors had forced the strike up
on themselves by urging union
ization last yoar and then re
fusing to bargain.
No Violence
There was no violence. Guests
alone wero frankly Irate.
Hotels ran a newspaper adver
tisement offering steady jobs and
good wages. Karl Mclnnes. man
ager of the Multnomah, predicted
that all hotels would be operat
ing by afternoon, saying vacan
cies wero being tilled with non
union help. In the Heathman
hotels, the management posted
signs, "We Apologlxe," for the
slow service.
The Heathman hotels' dining
rooms wore closed but the Mult
nomah operated Its restaurantB.
