PoRTERs WORKED TOO HARD FOR TIPS.

Ten negro porters at the Grand Central Station
were yesterday discharged the result OF too
much industry. Some time ago the head porter
received orders TO cut down expenses and IL
decided to discharge the ten youngest men. but
they were told that II they wished they could stay
without salaries taking their chance getting
enough tips TO make it worth while. 1t was said
by the head porter that there ought 20 be about
$40 n month I'm II II they worked well
All ten stayed, and proceeded 10 make themselves
indispensable 10 all the patrons OF the road Pas
sengcrs Were pursued TO the doors OF carriages
and their hand luggage almost wrenched from
them, and the porters in every way showed the
most ohliging disposition. When the object OF their
solcitude was about to leave them, IL the desired
consideraton' was not forthcoming, they frankly
told OF their needs and lack OF salary. with lurtd
details about the number or children dependent on
their support. and whatever additional facts that
might aid in the desired end till remuneration ap-
pearCd.
Just what their profits IS not known but
none OF them were willing 10 quit work yesterday
when they were called UP again. Their appeals
had been too graphic. 4 number OF kiudhearted
passengers had spoken 10 the road about the in
justice of employing men they did not pay, and
suggested salaries from a humanitarian point Of
view. The porters at the Grand Central are now
all working on salaries.
