They plan to keep open as long as they can and feel fairly confident that they can secure enough help to keep open their places of business. In many restaurants and cafeterias extra help has been secured already and in at least one place this help has been trained during the last week or longer. If forced to close, all restaurants will close in keeping with their agreement as an association until opened up thru outside aid, when it is considered that a restaurant is a public necessity. The Culinary Workers’ union, by unanimous vote, agreed to one conces- sion at its meeting last night by not ask- |ing for time and a half on the seventh day. The union still asks for the wage increase and a six-day week if a worker can be secured on the seventh ay: HE he-cannot-be-secured the union agrees to stay on the job the seventh day at regular pay.
