The War Against Tipping.

The first practical fight against the
tipping evil has been inaugurated by
the Commercial Travellers National
League. an organization of sufficiently
large membership and influence to ac-
complsh a reform
The travelling men of this country
constitute an army whose patronage is
a matter of some importance to hotels.
They have found, however, that the
system of tipping has grown to such
an extent that it is now a serious ad-
dition to their expenses, and if not
checked will inevitably operate to
their personal disadvantage, inasmuch
as an increase of expense means a de-
crease of salary. They have, therefore,
communicated with the various State
associations of hotel proprietors and
laid before them some interesting facts
They say that the commercial travellers
of the United States annually spend at
hotels for rooms and meals S325, 100000,
and they estimate that in addition they
are forced to contribute $5o,ooo,ooo in
tips. These are large figures, but the
Commercial Travellers League is so
convinced of their accuracy that they
have already arranged for a list of pri-
vate houses in various cities which they
can patronize as transient guests. max
ing provision for the renting of large
rooms where they can display their
goods. This tipping abuse" says the
letter of President DOVE to the hotel
men, is regarded as hold-up. the ac-
commodation being abundantIy paid
for"
The travelling men want hotel en-
ployes to be wage earners and not beg
gars for gratuities. They have stated
their case strongly and undoubtedly will
make an impression. When, in addi-
ton, they secure the assistance of the
members of the theatrical profession
and regular travellers they will certainly
be able to bring hotel proprietors to a
realization that the tipping evil, which
begins with the bell boy and ends with
the porter who handles baggage or calls
a cab, is liable to injure their business

Labor Legislation.

The laboring classes have every rea-
son to feel encouraged because of the
great results accomplished during the
present year in the matter of labor
legislation. No les than forty legis-
latures have enacted laws for the pro-
motion of the health, comfort. and safe
ty OF the millions who toll in factory,
workshop. and mine
AS a result of the widespread move
ment for reform in dealing with indus
trial injuries, three States have this year
passed laws providing accident COM
pensation for injured employees, and six
States, for the first time in this coun-
try, now require the reporting of sew
eral well-dehned occupational diseases
and industrial poisonings. The scheme
OF elective compensation is adopted in
California, Illinois, Kansas. New
Hampshire, New Jersey, and Wiscon-
sin; compulsory compensation. modified
by the rule of comparative negligence,
in Nevada; an elective insurance system
in Massachusetts, and Ohio, and in
Washington a State insurance system
compulsory as to certain enumerated
employments and elective as to all
others. The employer bears the cost
in all States except Ohio, where the
enploye contributes 10 per cent of the
insurance fund. In States where leg
islstion upon this subject has not been
enacted commissions are making in
vestigations with the purpose of framing

late Ada B. F. Farrar, who is said to
have been the mother of the child, was
continued in the Juvenile Court yester-

tody OF the girl, which is now pending In
the District Supreme Court, is settled
Mrs Shields Reed has filed a suit in
the upper court to oust Sheridan from
the estate which was left to the girl
by her supposed mother. Sheridan ad-
mits that he was. married to Mrs. Far
rar at Upper Marlboro in 1893, but de-
niles that the child is his.
Among the allegations made against
Mrs. Shields Reed with respect to the
care of the girl is that she permitted
Alice to sleep with two dogs. Mrs.
Shields Reed and the little girl will ap-
pear at the Juvenile Court when the case
is called next week. The suit in the
upper court probably will be settled Mon
