ABSTRACT

At Henrici's restaurant in Randolph St., Chicago, the bakery is wholly underground. One hundred restaurants had signed the agreement; Henrici's was the first to refuse and was thus naturally, and not arbitrarily as the Henrici manager alleged, the point of attack. The four union waitresses engaged at Henrici's were dismissed—on pretended charges—after having been followed by detectives to their union meetings. The reason for this inaction was that the season had been a severe one by reason of unemployment. The Henrici Company promised to discharge any waitress who joined the union at that time and, in case the union won, to pay the initiation fees of all those who had staid in.
