SAY THEY ARE WILLING TO ARBITRATE Teamaters Refuse to Ald the Strikers on Account of Hefusal to Accept This Method of Settle- ment. CHICAGO, June 12.—The strike in the hotels of Chicago, Impending for the last three weeks, materlalized today and twenty-five of the leading hotels of Chi- cago are tonight badly crippled in all de- partments. All of the hotels are running, however, and the proprietors declare that the establishments will remain open for business at any cost. The first call to the employes of hotels to go on strike was made Oy the walking delegates at 9 o'clock this morn- ing and all day the delegates have been visiting the different hotels represented in the Hotel Keepers' assoclation and calling out the help. In several places the walking delegates were refused admission and were compelled to signal the employes from the outside. In others the strike leaders were met with the information that there was no need to make a call on the men to go out, the hotel proprietors telling the help it would be necessary to get out and stay out until the trouble was over. The last hotels in which the ptrikes were declared were the Virginia, the Great Northern, the Brevoort and the Union. The men in these places walked out tonight. List of Hotels Affected. The complete list of houses in which the employes have left follows: Auditorfum, Auditorfum Annex, Sherman house, Grand Pacific, Stratford, Palmer house, Brigss house, Bismarck, Kalserhof, Thompson, Vietoria, Wellington, Lakota, Chicago Beach, Del Prado, Vendome, Hyde Park, ‘Windermere, Metropole, Kenwood, Hol- land, Great Northern, Virginia, Brevoort, Union. The Lexington hotel signed the scale pre- sented by the union five minutes after the help had been called out. The Employers' assoclation, representing more than fifty hotels, including all the prominent hotels of Chicago, held a meet- ing this afternoon and gave out a state- ment, in which they review their efforts to about a settiement of the contro- This statement says: hot oyers.

Indications of Hard Fight. There 18 every indication that the strike will be hard fought. The hotel proprietors declare that the demands made by the men are unreasonable and the unions claim to have not been fairly treated by the pro- prietors in that the proprietors agreed to treat as individuals with the unions and havd not done so. The proprietors have egreed to submit nedrly every point at issue to arbitralon, but to this the unions will not consent. The unions insist upon the absolute recoguition of the urion. To this latter demand the proprictors say they will never agree so long as the strikers maintain their present attitude. Tho unions also demand that the members of the Hotel Keepers' association come to the office of the employes' associa- tion as Individuals and not as members of ary assoclation. . The strikers today made efforts to divert supplies from the hotels, but were not suc- cessful to any great extent. The employes have hopes of bringing to their aid the members of the teamsters and engineers unions In order to keep food out of the hotels and to deprive the hotels of a supply of hot water. Present prospects are that the strikers will be disappointed in these hopes, for President Young of the team- sters’ union declared tonight that his or- ganization would not declare a sympathetic strike in ald of the cooks and waiters be- cause the latter placed themsclves in the wrong in refusing to accept the offer of ar- bitration made by the proprietors. The oficers of the engineers' union made thy same declaration, and added that the engineers would remain on duty no matter 1f an effort would be made to run the hotels with nonunion help. Officers of the Chicago Labor gave similar views. Quiet Up to Present. Tonight pickets surrounded every hotel i which strikes have been declared, and police are patrolling the sidewalks around the bulldings. So far there has not been the slightest evidence of disorder. ‘When tho men walked out of the Palmer house this evening some exuberant waiters turned loose with yells and whoops and tumbled & few dishes on the floor before leaving. The police were hastily moned, but there were no arrests Federation of sum- Tonight all of the hotels are open as| usual, and the proprietors are confident they will be able to care for all the guests that may arrive. Several proprietors have imported help from outside, and say they can secure more whenever they need it. A telegram was sent tonight to Pres dent Gompers of the American Federation of Labor asking his assistance In settling the strike and a reply was recelved from him saying that he would be here on Mon- day. The members of the Restaurant Keepers' aasoclation met tonight and took action that is practieally oertain to shut up & number of establishments In the morning The restaurant keepers decided that the first thing tomorrow they weuld offer to (Continued on Becond Page | the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. 1871.

Louis has fallen slowly since Thursday morning, the gauge this morning reading 37.6 feet, a fall of 0.33. The rise continues slowly, but the crest will probably be reached at Cairo to- night or Saturday. ST. LOUIS, June 12.—The river continues to fall steadily, but the weather bureau reports that those who expect to see a sudden decline will be disappointed. If the river falls at the same rate that it fell in 1892, when there was a heavy flood, the levee will be covered for a month yet. Two teamsters today swam the swollen Mississippl on a wager of 25 cents, made with Gus Baum. The three were Viewing the river and the bet grew out of a discus- sion as to the force of the current. The two gave most of their clothing to Baum, who took a street car across the bridge and met the winning teamsters on the Tilinols side. The teamsters swam &cross in an hour. The heavy pressure of water against Broadway in East St, Louls will probably finally destroy a large section of that street. In some places portions of the street have caved in and tonight a large section near Eighth street went down, but the street car tracks still hold the street from giving entirely away. Even if it does break the result will be simply that the water is let through to Missouri avenue, & parallel street one block north. The water is seeping through Broadway steadily and in large quantities and must finally com- pletely inundate all that portion of the city south of Missourl avenue. At 7 a. m., when the official observation was made, the river had fallen slightly, more than an inch since midnight, and stood at 37.6 on the gauge, since when it has remained stationary. The flood is declining slowly, but with the falling river above and no indica- tions of rain the prospects for rellet to the territory in this vicinity and north for hundreds of miles, covered with a great body of water, seems near. Lensdowne, the northeast suburb of Fast St. Louls, is flooded by water from the ressrvoir at Hunter's Switch. At 8 o'clock this morning water was from six to twenty inches deep all over the suburb and rising rapidly. A swift torrent is running under the trestle at.Lgke Station, meeting the back water from' the south and spreading over Winstanley suburb, south of Rock Road. At midnight last night the East St. Louls and Suburban company abandoned its car sheds at Rock Road and the terminal beit. The cars there were taken to sheds at the bluffs. At 1 o'clock this morning 200 men and & of sacks hurried out to Vo W RS vt - 6 levee -of dirt bags' three and two feet wide extended along’ the tracks for 300 yards opposite the flooded suburb, It the water continues the rise at the present rate the fight for the north part of Bast St. Louls will be made at this point. Water Seeks New Level. The extent to which East St. Louls is ‘to, be submerged depends entirely upon the level which the water, coming in from' the east and northeast will have to reach. It is now flowing along the lines of least re- sistance, seeking its own level. No effec- tual resistance can be made to it. It will continue to advance and submerge the territory in its path as long as this terri- tory is lower than the level of the water at the point at which it pours through the Vandalia and Baltimore & Ohlo embank- ments, west of Caseyville. The water has crossed the Louisville & Nashville raliroad two miles east of the Belt Line. During the night it reached the Bt. Clair turnpike, over_which runs the East 8t. Louls and Suburban Electric Elec- tric railway to Belleville. This morning it had spread over the low ground between Lake Bridge and the Jerome farm house and was pouring through a culvert a short distance west of Jerome, filling the space between the turn- pike and the Day Electric line and passing through a trestle to the south of the Day line, where it joined the water which h: been backing up to the south of Winstan- ley park from Pittsburg lake at the foot of the bluft: Car Service Abandoned. At 10 o'clock officlal announcement was made of the encroachment of the water on the plant and tracks of the company and that no cars would be run to Belleville, where hundreds of refugees are being cared for, after 11 o'clock today. The united waters are pressing west along the south side of the Day line, di- rectly toward East 8t. Louis. They menace the power house of the electric railway at Winstanley park. The - water from the north is gradually falling and covering the ground between the Louisville & Nashville and augment- ing the flow toward Bast St. Louls along both sides of the Day line. From the northeast the water is steadily advancing from Lansdowne through the suburban resideénce district of Bast St. Louls. The shutting down of the electric line will dut off communication with Belleviile except by way of the Illinols Central. A train was run over the Ilinols Central to- day for the first time since the tracks were covered after the break on Wednesday. It had to run through water most of the way from the bluffs, but got through all right. The officials wanted to run it on the via- duct to St. Louls, but police were sent with strict orders to stop it. In view of the want and suffering caused by the flood In East St. Louls, Mayor Cook has {ssued an appeal to the public for ald. No Postponement of Sacngerfest. On recelving assurances from the man- agers of all lines centering here that rafl- road trafic to St. Louls would be resumed next week the local committee in charge of the arrangements for the national saen- gerfest announced that there would be no postponement of the great musical festival to be held in the Liberal Arts bullding on June 17, 18 and 19. Nearly all the railroads could handle the visitors today, but under difficulties, as the eastern lues have made their termi- pals at or near East St. Louls, and three of them, the Chicago & Anon, the Big Four and the Burlington, at Alton. At the meet- ing of the committee today the final de- talls of the saengerfest were arranged. Many of the visitors are expected to ap- rive here on Sunday evening.

The position to which Judge Hook has been appointed is the ome for which the triends of Charles J. Greene have been urg- ing his name. When Informed of the ap- pointment of Judge Hook Mr. Greene sald: “While I would have Jiked to have been the fortunate man the president's choice is by no means unexpected, as I had information that Judge Hook had the inside track for some time. Judge Hook’s position on the federal district bench placed him in line with the president’s policy of promotion in the federal judiciary. I am sure he will fill the place acceptably.
