BOARDING HOUSE UNION.
Full Dinner Pail Up 81 a Week a,
Springfield, Mass.


SPRINGFIELD. Mass, October s.
Twenty West Springfield boarding house
mistresses met last night at the home of
Mrs. Charles Clark, jr.. and voted to form
boarding house union. score of
boarding house proprietors who were I'M
able to be present sent word that they
would stand by any action taken by the
meeting.
The union decided to raise the price of
board from IS to SO a week and to put
the new rate into effect at once
One Of the chief causes of dissatisfac-
ton was the full dinner pail. 1t was as
serted that railroad men who carried their
dinners provided themselves with pals as
large as wash boilers and expect the
boarding house mistresses to fill them
with lunch" 1t was explained that the
medium-sized pals held two quarts of
coffee, eight or nine sandwiches, half a
that failure to include two pieces of pie
was considered justification for prolonged
grumbling. One of the women declared
that the late Mark Hanna was to blame
for promising the men "a full dinner
pail" A long-faced landlay Of republic
can tendencies. said Senator Hanna mere
~ meant enough to eat and not wheel
barrow load.
One boarding house mistress suggested
that special rate should be made for
school teachers.
"A school teachers appetite is as good
as any one else's. and they are more both
er than two men," was the prompt reply
of q maiden woman.
It was voted unanimously not to make
an exception in favor Of school teachers
AS practically all the boarding houses
in West Springfield are included in the
movement the boarders have the alterna-
tive Of paying 81 q week more or of NOV
ing out Of town.
