SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13 TWENTIETH CENTURY CLU3 335 West First Street, Reno Nevada By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A strike by 5000 AFL employes in 18 of Washington's leading hotels inconvenienced thousands today as efforts continued to settle other top labor disputes throughout the country.

Picket lines were set up around some of the capital's finest hotels as waiters, chambermaids, elevator operators, telephone girls, porters, bellhops, cooks, kitchen workers and bartenders left their jobs in a wage dispute. It was self-service for the guests who made their own beds, carried their own bags and trudged up long flights of stairs to their rooms unless non-striking white collar help took over operations of elevators. The unions asked wage hikes of 15 cents an hour for employes who do not receive tips and 10 cents for those who do. The Hotel association representing the 18 hotels offered 5 and 2V cents hourly, while a government conciliator proposed a compromise at 8 and 4 cents which the unions accepted and the hotels rejected. The present wages vary widely by classification of work.
