The ban against tipping which is to go into effect January l through out the United States gained mo- mentum by a decision by Judge Petit in Chicago that hotels and reStau- rants are in a class with pickpockets and thieves when they farm out the privilege of eNacting tips from their patrons by means of check room and wash room graft Judge Petit ruled that collecting tips was begging and a violation of the city ordinance. Consequently persons engaged in get ting tips could not demand redress in the courts, phase of the ruling which was a blow to check room magnate who claimed violation oi contract. Lawyers for the tip col lectOrs protested that nobody is ask ed to give one is compelled to give just the same" answered the Jurist. Nothing less than d gatling gun would permit a patron of those places where the tip trust is in operation to escape without giving tip Proof of Judge PettitS statement was found in the fact that one check room magnate pays as high as $l0.0oO d year to certain hotels and cafes for the privilege of the daily hold up for services which the proprietors were expected to render gratuitously in the days when prices on the bills of fare were only a fraction as great and the business far less profitable. Walters in all the hotels and cafes say they would be glad to see the day arrive when their wages were not merely nominal and when their living was not chiefly made from tips.
