IMME TIPS ACCEPTED, BY
MAGNATES, HE SAYS
NEW YORK. July 20.—(IP)—
Silk-hatted big business men are
gniity of accepting dime and
quarter tips dally, declares Al
bert Payson Terhune, noted writ
er, in launching today In the
American Magasine, w h a t he
hopes will become a nation-wide
movement to end tipping.
"The tip we glee," says* Ter
hune. “does not go to the em
ploye to whom we trust it. It
goes straight to the.pockets of
his employer. Who depends upon
ths soft-bolledness of >1» qptrons
tp eke out the tetagy^e
wish to, pay his employe. Hatf
the world traces upon the soft-
bolledness of the other half, end
whatever this haH gdvea in tips
is just that much in the pockets
of the ’hard-boiled* fraction. The
remedy is for everybody to, de
velop a thirty-minute head and
keep a three-minute heart.
. “The hard-boiled dependents
upon soft-boiled people realise
that we do not tip ordinarily
from generosity. We do It from
cowardice. , If we did not the
people whom we tip would get
fair pay in wages and the public
would be saved from orging in
cowardly guiae to pay an unde
served carfh tribute. Perhaps ser
vice would cost more, but we
could come out of a hotel, restau
rant, barber shop or other place
with our self respect and every
body would be richer at the end
of the year.”
Terhune declares that tipping
is an anarchroniam in the mod
ern conduct of business and urges
that its abolition be taken up
seriously throughout the country.
