Hotel workers picket the Carlton Hotel at 923 16th Street NW March 8, 1939 on the first day of their surprise strike while Secretary of State Cordell Hull’s auto is parked outside.
Many of pro-labor President Franklin Roosevelt’s cabinet members and top advisors along with senators and representatives used the 13 struck hotels as residences, putting them in a precarious position when it came to crossing a picket line.
Among Roosevelt’s appointees that either crossed picket lines or made their way out side entrances as they left their residences in the morning were Wardmen Park: Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace, Soliciter General Robert Jackson, Public Printer A. E. Glengengack; Raleigh Hotel: Ramsey S Black Asst. Postmaster General; Willard: son of President Roosevelt Elliott Roosevelt; Carlton: Secretary of State Hull; Shoreham: Secretary of War Harry Woodring; New Colonial: Director of Concilation John R. Steelman.
The workers staged their strike to gain a “union shop” for the Hotel and Restaurant Employees International Alliance and Bartenders League (AFL). The local hotel unions involved were Catering Workers Local 781, Service Worker’s Local 80 and Bartenders’ Local 75.
A settlement on March 20th provided that secret ballot elections for union certification would take place at each hotel. Grievances would be settled by binding arbitration by a neutral party.
The terms for union shop provided that all new employees would become members of the union, but that existing employees may opt out. All other existing agreements were to remain in place—wages were not changed by the new agreement.

The Gardens at Wortley Hall, close to Sheffield have a long association with the British Labour movement. It was purchased and restored in 1950 by a co-operative foundation, and is now a hotel & conference centre, and is used by several trades unions. The building, which dates back to 1586 was significantly altered in the 1740s, and is Grade 2* listed.
Wortley Hall was the base for SALT 10 - a classic car tour for Cold-War era vehicles.
