WISE DO NOT COMPLAIN Hotel Employe Insist Waiter Will Be Found Returning; Value Re ceived Whenever Tip) Given. Average Wage Are Good. BY B. A. PF.LKET. Walter at Oregon Hotel. Some lawmakera are Inclined to be extremist In their aeal to paaa oon a elected. For Inatance. If Mr. Jonee I elected, h think It hi olemn duty to hav a Jonee bill entitled an it -omethtng introduced. Jut to how hi constituent that h la on th Job. Bo we are Informed that during the com ing esslon of the Legislature certain of our diplomat hav hit upon an antl tlpplng law thai thy desire .annexed tiitea to solve the high coat of living. Thl proposed legislation 1 of great Importance to waltera. and a on of that profeaalon I wish to mak a few reraerke from our aiae. On argument against thl alleged vll come from no le a ourc than th United Plate Henate. The Penatora have a reataurant In the Capitol for tha us of themselves and friend ex clusively, and caused to be displayed In a conspicuous plaoa a sign announcing that waltr are not allowed to receive tips. Now, In th writer' opinion thl sign would b more appropriate In th Senate chambar. If the Senator would only atop taking tlpa themelve. or earn them for real service a honestly as do waiter, th country would b better eerved. Tlpa Ge W orld Over. Tipping I cuatomary In all flrat-claa houses, those patronised by the wealthy the world over. The working classea Invariably patronlxe the lower-class houses whr thy don't tip. Walter a a claa are poor o. why all thl objection to th rich voluntarily giving to tha poor? Th former certainly can afford It. and the latter aurely need It. Why haven't w th same right aa in dividual. whn cltl reclve million from Carnegie and Rockefeller? Be side, we endeavor to glv value re ceived In return for any little gratuity. To the peraon from whom we receive a tip we give added attention, such as making suggestions aa to what I good on the menu and seeing that It I prop erly cooked and erved. Alao wa do a hurdred little thing not required or paid for by th management, 1 '.iav nver heard the higher elas. or real tipping public the onea quali fied to Judge, do any complaining. Par hap It emanate from thoe who xpot to b In oclty some day, and who are trvlng to keep up appearance. If o, I hop they attain their ambitions, for when they are educated they will be come good Roman. Pabllc Will anr. If tipping were stopped, and our wage raised In consequence, a om will advocate. Isn't It very evident that th places so affected would meet tha rise by raising prlceaf Ho. I fall to aee any material difference to th public, but will admit that th quarter coming aa a tip lntead of salary will always Insure the guest better service. Club member will have to admit that point, aiihoua-b tha writer believe that th higher wag ytem and no tip In club la proper. To promote equality j can't treat th general public on that basis, for there I to much Inequality. Some eytt terrapin and other coffee and there aeema to be an erroneous Impres sion that all waiters are underpaid and depend on their tip. While thay are not overpaid, eve- Including tip, their alarlea compare favorably with mot working classes, considering that It la Inside work the year around and ln cludea board. Tha average pay In firt-c!as hotel I from $40 to 140 a month for about 10 hours' work, and In most places they get a day off a week, with resultant loss cf pay. Most of their tip money I spent In a way pleasing to th publlo for different thing not necessary to th untlpped worker. For Instance. In order to keep up a neat appearance he haa a larger laundry bill for dick lea or whlta shirts, aprons, cuff, tie, collar, etc. He must be shaved at all times and hi shoe ihlned. Wage proper go to th aupport of waiter nd very often toward supporting large families. A long a there are those who can afford and are willing to give, there will be those willing to reeelve, especially from th boy and girl that deal off the left. Bo I contend that thl la no question for our dignified lawmaker and that It 1 an Isaue that will adjust Itself. 3 CHARTERS ANNOUNCED COASTWISE JjITMBER TRADE IS BARELY 8TE.VDY. Off-shore Rate Firm Northland, George Looml and Roanoke Arrive From Col-urn bt a. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., May Xi. (Special.) Tha barkentlne J. M. Grif fith ha been chartered to load lum ber on Puget Sound for San Francisco at $ 4 7s per thousand; the schooner H. D. Bend lx sen, to load en Pugst Sound for San Pftdro at II 11 and the schooner W.

Th present rate of freight on coast wise lumber of t4.H to thl port and S IS to San Padre apparently are firmly established, but there em no prospect of sny advance In th near future. Practically all eoaatlng vessel now are In active service, but the demand for lumber barely holds steady. Ortshore rates are Arm, but aa In coaatwls business th lumbar demand no longer la en th laoreas. Thla week It wa announeed that en of th Harrison Una ateamer will load a large lumber shipment for Europe and one of th Maple Leaf liner an other large shipment for Buenos Aires. Such shipments by regular line ves sels naturally dlsplae tramp stsamere or sailers and consequently lessen th demand for such. Arrival from th Columbia today In eluded th steamers Northland.
