The German embassy today asked

the steamer was searched lv order
from Washington twice thoroughly by

TIPS NECESSARY
TO GET SERVICE
Probe of Wanes and Working Condi
tions of Sleeping-Car Conductors
and Porters Being Made In Chlcai
Few Tips for Conductors In
surance Graft Worked.
CHICAGO, April 0. TnvcsHgnllnn
of the wages and working conditions
of I'ullmnn company conductors and
porterrt wn.s continued hy the United
.States eouimition on industrial rela
tions today. R. W. Bell, seeretnry of
tho Federation of Pullman Conductor-,
nnd Porters, who resumed tho
stand, wnii nnnblc to estimate tho
average income in lips of porters.
Speaking of expenses of porters and
conductor, he said:
"Porters and conductorx must tip
the dining enr waiters, or thy will get
the worst of it."
The salaries of conductors, rang
ing from .$70 to .0."i, he said, nrc re
lieved of some strain by free moron
nt certain hotels, which hotels they
recommend to passcngerrt who inquire
on the subject. Mr. Bell said Hint ho
wns formerly n conductor, but wan
dismissed because of his nclivity in
trying to unionize the employes of the
company.
ffors to Unionize
Mr. Bell, questioned by Chairman
Walsh, said that the effort to union
ize the employes originated among the
men nnd not with outside ngitntors.
"We worked under cover n long
ns wo could," ho paid, "hut nbont a
fast ns tho men signed np they were
dismUcd nnd the list did not pro
gress. The -men grew tiinid,Hnd .told
us they would not care to join a union
until tho union was strong enough to
protect them."
The witness hnd n stock of letters
from men who claimed that they hnd
been dismissed for nctivity in behalf
of the union.
The witness snid thnt on nlmost nil
roads the employes are given half
rates on dining cars and in eating
houses, but the quantity of food de
pends on the good nature of the stew
ards on dining cars.
No Tips for Conductors
"Is n conductor's incomo augment
ed by tips?" asked Mr. Widsh.
"No; they nrc rare. Once in a
while n passenger will buy tho con
ductor a meal on the diner."
"Can you givo tho average amount
that a porter cams in tips?"
"That is impossible; the only way
to find out about Hint is to get a por
ter who has kept a record."
Asked to insuranco of employes,
Mr. Bell said: "There nro three in
surnuce companies approved by tho
Pullman company. Their .solicitors
are permitted to go among tho men
nud tho company deducts the prem
iums and dues from wages."
On this subject yeslcrdny L. S.
nungerford, general manager of tho
Pullman company, denied that any
Pullman official wns financially in
terested in any of these insuranco
companies.
