NEW YOKTC Jan. . (Special.) That
the ant!--tlppln cru.Kis will be erased
without ceasing all through "
the lUlrmtnt made today by K- E.
lowe. present of th Commercial
Traveler- National League. The mem
ber of the league are declared to be
deeply In earnest and to have placea
this subject (orrmont on the lit of
good resolotlons for the new year. The
plan of campaign 1 for traveling men
throughout the country to ceaae giv
ing gratuities to hotel and restaurant
employes, barbers and others connect
ed with barber shops. Pullman car
porters and all others.
All Incivilities or omissions due to
the failure to give "tips" are to be
reported promptly and with due em
phasis. If the proprietor to whom the
cases are reported does not take
prompt action to remedy the omission
complained of. the traveling man and
his fellows will withdraw their pat
ronage from the offender so far s
possible. Where hotels and eating
houses that cater to the traveling man
are concerned, this will not be so diffi
cult. It Is said, but details of the plan
to reach dining-car waiters and porters
and employes of baggsge-rooma and
other public places have not been fully
matured.
W Hf-Esrseri Made Self-Respeetlag.
The crusade Is put on the broad
ground that not only will the "tip
pers" be able to obtain what they pay
for regularly, bat the "tipped" will be
elevated from a menial place, dependent
on charity, to that of regular wage
earners. "We are In earnest." said Mr. Dow
today ' "The victims of this pernicious
system realise that to break the chains
which bind. It Is now or never." He
declared that the hotel and restaurant
proprietors are making eKtraordlnary
profits as It Is. and yet their greed Is
responsible for the system now In
vogue.
Tipping should go." he declared.
Tha old-time fashion of gifts from
the rich patron to the poor servant Is
out of place In these modern days.
Once It was the distinction between
the high and mighty and the lowly:
bow the tip Is either In the nature or
a bribe or an enforced premium upon
contract prices.
"Stop tipping." he said, "and the ho
tel help will be placed In a less menial
position, and Pullman porters advanced;
stop tipping, and they will become
earners of adequate wages. Instesd of
strong-armed beggars. Let us elim
inate from American life one of the
blots upon our Constitution, or upon
that part of It claiming that all men
were created free and equal."
Aid ! I'atea F.speeve.
The Commercial Travelers League la
counting to a considerable extent on
the aid of the International Hotel
Workers' L'nloo, which Is conducting
a campaign for better wages and Im
proved working conditions. In the of
ficial organ of the union, statistics are
presented which show conditions
among waiters worse than those la any
"sweat shop."
The hours are longer, the conditions
more unsanitary, the temptations to In
temperance of all kinds more pressing
than in any other trade.
According to a report ascribed to Dr.
J. Darvln NagrL for years physician
to an assoclaltlon of waiters and help
ers. Ine mortality amena uvf.c.
ptoyes under 10 years of age Is IS per
rent, and between the ages of 20 and
25. 25 per cent, against t and per
cent, respectively, among other trades.
As regarJs the causes of death, apo
plexy comes first, with Brlghfs dis
eases, tuberculosis, cancer and liver
troubles In the order named.
Figures are given also showing
that there are more suicides among
waiters than In any other vocation.
The high mortality In this employ
ment Is attributed to the following
causes: 1. Vitiation of atmosphere. I.
Temperature of the shop. i. Extreme
humidity or "dryness. 4. Improper or
excessive lighting. S. Danger from
overstrain, fatigue, hurtful posture and
over-exercise of parts of the body. .
Pust. particularly where much flour Is
used. T. Unhygienic habits and ur
rounding. MORGAN YACHT NEEDS AID
