WARNS HOTELS AGAINST TIPS
Local Hostelries Receive Letters

Several Omaha hotels have received let

abate the tipping nuisance the drummers
who are members OF the league will seek
private houses when they are in Omaha.

Hotel Rome, rests entirely with the
traveller. We always try to discourage
tips, because / think that II tipping we're
abolished, the guest would spend more
money with the hotel. This is the senti-
ment of every hotel keeper in Omaha
The employees are all paid fair wages. but
when they are offered n tip II is hard
for them to refuse.
"Of course, there are cases where the
bellboys and porters work for the tips,
but as far as can ascertain, these men
are always discharged whenever they are
caught causing discomfort because they
are not tipped.
'If the traveller would only keep his
money in his pocket and ignore the hints
for tips. the nuisance would quickly be
abolished. 1 am sure that the hotel own
ers are just as anxious as the travellers
that the nuisance be brought to stop"

Quantity in Omaha

in about the same position as Chicago
whose butter and egg board has an
nouuced that there are no fresh eggs In
the city" said w. o. Perry OF Perry
g. co.
Fresh eggs are almost a minus quantity
in Omaha. Practically the entire popula-
ton OF Omaha Is eating storage eggs, the
wholesale price OF which range from q
to "a cents a dozen, depending on quality.
Nebraska hens are on a strike. We
could get fresh eggs from South Dakota,
but the price there is 80 cents dozen,
case count, and they would cost us prob
ably 90 cents a dozen by the time we got
them here. That would put the price 10
consumers up well toward so cents, ana
few could afford to buy them
The storage men have made profit
on euss that have been taken out OF
storage so far. and hope 20 clear enough
money this year to make up for their
losses OF last year.
