Travelling Mem Wage War Against Tipping

The commercial travellers are pre-.
pairing a war against the tipping sys

GERS of the association OF commercial

sThat part Of the public patronizing
hotels has wearied of the increasing
nuisance of the tipping system con-
doned by the hotel proprietors.
Tipping is an unpopular and I'M

TROUBLES OF KEoKUK
Sporting News Correspondent Passes
Out Some Straight Dope on
Conditions Here Last
Year.

Attributing the failure of Frank
Belt to win remnants with the Keokuk
club during the past three years to a
disturbing element on the team. and
declaring that Manager Queisser will
release disturbers and booze-fighters,
the Keokuk correspondent OF the
Sporting News has news letter which
deals principally with the Indian
camp. The writer says:
With the signing of AL Queisser as
manager of the Keokuk team for 1912
comes the announcement of the retire
ment of the veteran Frank Belt from
the game. While Belt has been some
what OF a disappointment in the three
years that he has served keokud, 1t
must be said that it was not wholly
his fault. Each year he has had one
or more disturbers on his team, usual
~ old-timers who have drifted back.
and who have endeavored to put the
old man in the hole SO that they might
possibly land his Job, and he has not
had the hearty cooperation of the en-
tire board OF directors, at least one
and perhaps two of the directors hav-
ing given moral support and en-
couragement to the men who were en-
deavoring to throw the manager.
Manager Queisser should have cas-
Ter sailing, for the members of the
new board announce that the first
man who does not give his best SER
wees to the team, or who attempts to
ov.r -;n 81
game for the season. and that this will
be the fate of the booze-hghters also,
SO here's hoping they will not forget
and will make an example of the first
offender. And Belt was not the only
man who suffered from this condition
of affairs, as Muscatine had the same
trouble with its players, many of
whom were disgruntled come backs"
like Keokuk suffered from.
From Kewanee, through President
Hill of that club, comes the informa-
ton that Belden Hill of Cedar Rapids,
brother of the Kewanee president,
would like to break into the Central
ASSOCIATION circuit, in place of Han
mbal. which was weak sister last
season and about whose future there
is much uncertainty. Cedar Rapids,
having failed to secure a place in the
LII, is low after the next best
prospect. The city has been without
ball for several years and would be a
distinct addition to the circuit, and
will have little difficulty In landing a
berth If there should be any weaken
ing on the part of Hannibal or any
other city now holding berth in the
Central.
Belden Hill is one of the best known
minor league baseball men in the
country, and his connection with the
Central Association could not fail to
be to its credit and benefit.

feil-boy who carries the gripsack OF
an incoming guest to his room and
hangs on until the rake-off is provided,
to the porter who calls cab or

Less, but in consideration Of the self
evident fact that your members have
tailed to properly gauge the densh Of
sentiment against the iniQuitols sys-
tenn Of tipping, We will withhold def'-

there are no signs In evidence that
the hotel propretors propose to put
their help upon self-respecting basis
making them wage earners instead OF
beggars for gratituities, no power on
earth can prevent our carrying out
the program of reprfsal.
"The commercial travellers of the
United States spend annually at hotels
for rooms and meals, three hundred
and twenty five millions Of dollars.
Tipping of boys, walters and por-
tiers and for checking privileges, etc..
costs annually fifty millions, and is
separated from the commercial men
under more or less compulsion.
This tipping abuse is regarded as
a hold-up. the accommodation being
abundantly paid for.
In these estimates, travelling audi.
tors, adjusters, mechanical experts. In
spectors and others who while trav-
cling men, are not commercial travel
ers, strictly speaking are not includ-
ed. For their outlay add SO 1-3 per
cent for hotel expenditures and 20
per cent for tips to the above figures.
Another class that would come under
the head Of regular travellers the
theatrical people-would welcome the
list Of houses in each Of the cities,
where transients could find accommo
dations, also the abatement Of the
tipping evil.
