TARIS WATERS WIN STRIKE;
CAN KEEP ALL TIPS NOW

Paris, April 15-Paris restaurant
keepers and Their striking walters have
reached an agreement. The proprie-
tors have agreed to discontinue the
custom of charging walters from one
to two dollars and half a day for the
privilege of serving their customers;
henceforward walters may wait for
nothing so far as the owner is con
cerned, and keep all their tips. This
is tantamount to a considerable in
crease in pay, and walters today are
about their business with cheerful
faces.
The walters fight for the right to
wait for nothing, however, has been
long one and bitterly fought. 1t took
several years of agitation, and a final
walk-out to brn gsuccess, the owners
captulating only when convinced thor
were beaten.
Another concession gained by the
ren is the right to eat their lunch else
where than on the premises. Now
waiter need no longer eat the food he
sees prepared in tn kitchen and serves
for the house; he can go home, or to
another restaurant for his lunches and
dinners.
