A Movement Among Saloon Keepers to

There is q strong movement on foot among
saloon keepers In this city to secure action by
tho State Liquor Dealers Association at its
annual convention. which begins In Syracuse
on Tuesday. looking to the abolition Of the
free lunch. The strongest advocates OF the
movement are the American and 1rlsh-Ameri-
can liquor dealers. They assert that the free
lunch is q needless expense which brings in no
adequate return.
A modern FREQ lunch requires an extra coun-
ter. and takes up room which could be utilized
to better advantage. 1t necessitates extra
help and the most ordinary layout costs SIS u

who advocate tho change say that the free
lunch does not attract the best class OF custom.
