Word from the Clerks.
e. w. Sherman, president of the Ne
braska and Iowa Hotel Clerks association,
read an interesting paper upon the Re
miniscences Of a Hotel Clerk" His paper
was based upon an experience of twenty
years. He expressed himself as proud of
the association of which he was the head,
both as to its name, work and members.
The association had accomplished much in
the elimination Of the hotel deadbeat and
check worker, and he was looking forward
to the ultimate formation Of a national
association of hotel clerks, that the field
for combating with the hotel deadbcat and
check worker could be so ~broadened that
the protection would become absolute. The
paper concluded with a number of anus
ing experiences. both personal and general,
relating to the different phases of hotel
life.
