TIPSAS A TARGET
IN ILLINOIS BILL

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Illinois may fol-
lew Texas example and pass a law
prohibiting the giving or receiving of
tips"
Representative Anthony Trimaco
said yesterday he was preparing a bill
for introduction at the first session of
the general assembly making it a mis-
dCmeanor to give or accept tips" also
Pre- viding for fine for the proprietor
of any establishment who permits
tips" to be taken by employees.
MY attention was called to the
question" Representative Trimarco
said, "by a statement in Mondays Rec
ord-Herald that a travelling man had
given away about $4,000 in tips in
his 20 years of travel.
while the case in question may be
an exceptional one. it calls attention
to the need of an act to prohibit vir
tual 'holdups'
There would be no necessity of
! person having to give a tip for SER
vices for which the proprietor of 8
place is paid, and we'll paid, if the en-
p!oyes of the places were paid liv-
| ing wage.
"As soon as I get my proposed bill
in shape l will present it to the legis-
latUre and am going to do everything
that l can to see that 1t becomes a
law"
| Barratt O'Hara, lieutenant governor
elect, announced during the day that
he favored a bill to prevent the giving
or receiving of tips"
"The network of gratuities now I'M
fortunately gripping every community
in America" Mr. O'Hara said, CON
stttutes one of the most serious men
aces to the stability of the republic
and the moral foundation of American
character.
I'VE cannot become a nation of char
ity seekers and tip receivers and pre-
serve intact our individual pride and
national honor.
81 sincerely hope that Illinois will
take the lead in a nationwide crusade
against tip giving but let us enact a
law that will not be thrust by public
opinion into the pigeon hole of foo
!, legislation
Let the bill presented TO the legis
, lature be soberly and seriously Tram
ed by our leading social and educa
t;1nal workers.
The legislature. in my opinion
ST uld provide for something akin tC
minimum wage. No honest man oil
woman accepts a tip unless forced
t. do so by a too low wage. BY al
means make it a misdemeanor to give
or receive a gratuity and also make
1. a misdemeanor of a more serious
nature to give any employe a starva
tiCn salary"
Representative Trimarco declared
his proposed bill would be patterned
after the Texas law.

WASHINGTON. May 20.--The Republi-
e~n senators plan To insist upon
amendments to nearly every item IN
the Underwood tariff bill when it comes
nefore the Senate for general discus
sion. became evident, today. When
Senator Penrose, former chairman OF
the finance committee, declared that
every member of the minority would
have amendments to propose.
Senator Penrnse told the Senate he
knew Of no concerted effort TO be made
rurposely to delay the passage of the
bill. but said he was assured that the
minority would offer many amend
,ments to tlteaschedules offered by the
Democrats. Senator Smoot also an
nounccd that the introduction of
amendments, would begin as soon as
the bill came from the committee and
that many roll calls would be demand
ed. If this plan is pursued svstemau-
cally, the journey of the bill through
the Senate is certain to be prolong
ed.
Senator Simmons has called for to-
morrow the first meeting of the full
membership of the finance committee
to consider questions relating to the
tariff. One matter to be determined
will be the list Of questions on the tar
If to be sent to manufacturers
throughout the country. Senators Sim

a list for the committees approval.
