SXff$rPTf7' t n THE KIND OF TREATMENT YOU GET ALL DEPENDS The restaurant Keepers' trust has opened an employment agency at 56 W. Washington st. A reporter for The Day Book had an interesting time there today. The place is called "The Chicago Association of Food Exchanges." A union cook went up for a job first to see if it were true that it was a strike breaking agency. A man named H. F. Marquis, who runs the joint, came but smiling and rubbing his hands. The cook asked for a job. "Ah, yes," smiled Marquis, "sit right down!" They discussed pre liminary details. "And now I'll take your name?" asked Marquis. It was given. "Where have you worked?" "Thompson's, Until a month ago!" replied the cook. "Ah, you're a union man!" ex claimed Marquis, darkly. The charge was admitted. Marquis became chilled, and said there were no jobs open. The Day Book Teporter .followed the cook. George Knab saw the re porter and made a quick dash for Marquis. There was a whispered consultation and Marquis came out to meet the reporter, smiling very sweetly. He explained the purposes of the employment bureau. They were not charging for jobs, he said, and he also admitted he had notified all mem bers of the association not to do any more hiring themselves, but to send all applicants for work to him. "Do you discriminate against union workers?" asked the reporter. "Oh, my, no!" replied Marauis. You see" but it was too much for the reporter, who had fled. o o DISAGREE IN HOE LOVE CASE New York, June 4.
