Tho Chief Justice gave Illustrations
OF what the effect of the decision might

from an ape 2 years old, fitted so per-

Do You Really Know Where Your
Tips Go?

In the October American Magazine
professor in an eastern university
writes as follows on the subject OF
hotel tips:
II can readily see that there are at
least two kinds of tipping practice. In
one case a person tips a waiter for
service rendered and in the expecta-
ton that the waiter himself is to keep
the tip. l do not particularly object to
this. 1t is a personal matter between
the servant and the served. l under,
stand, however, that there is now az
organized system of concessions de-
signed to further the practice Of tip
ping in order that persons who employ
the servants may receive the benefit
thereof. | am told that one of the
popular hotels in Buffalo, for example,
sells the concession for $500 year
The concessionaire then furnishes the
bell boys and the hat checkers, paying
them, and taking the profits in the way
of tips. / understand that practically
whenever the hat checking at our main
hotels and restaurants is in the hands
Vi dlli dClifC lhC t3ii 10 al z WI n
ing for concessionaires and that the
public is taken advantage of for the
benefit of such employers.
in my own practice, l no longer tip
any person unless l first ask him or
her whether the tip is going some
where else. If they tell me that the
tip will belong to them personally,
then l exercise my judgment in giving
it. If they tell me that the tip is go
ing to some employer then l never
give it.
at seems to me that the hotels
might adopt the scheme we have down
at our apartment house. We don't
allow tips, but we contribute to
Christmas fund, the same as at club.
Our plan has only been running few
but l think they use 1t in
other cooperative buildings. 1t has
worked well with us and it leads to
to the service itself, irri-
spective of the individual
My suggestion is that the hotel
keeper might try a similar scheme. He
might cut off all tips-that is all d.
rect tips and in his literature and In
the bills of fare, etc., tell about his
fund scheme and the administration OF
it, saying it would be divided every
six months, or something like that, and
that at the end of the period the pro-
portion of payment was according to
the length of service Chats the way
It's in clubs)-that there was certain
Just assignment of interest in this
fund to the individual who left in the
meantime, but that would be much
smaller, just as an insurance policy Is
worth proportionately less is sur
'endered after, say, three years than
surrendered after five years. Peo-
lie leaving after a stop of few days
n connection with their bill could
make contribution. I think that
most people, especially those stopping
1t place for long time, if they had
'eceived good service and not been
bothered about tips, would usually be
rery glad to make their proper con-
ribution. Exactly the same could be
lone at restaurants All man would
lave to do would be to add to the bill
tself something, if he wished to. If
lie didn't wish to. it would be all right.
Nhe service would not be affected by
hat expected fact"
