TIPS TO MATTRESSES
SWELL PAY GREATLY
Some in Higher Class Restaurants
Make as Much as S142 a Month,
Including Salaries.


Mattresses are among the best paid
women workers in FL PasO, to judge
by the figures obtained from this class
Of non professional workers. The an
nOuncement that the Missouri senate
wage committee had made this dis
cOvery in investigating the working
women situation in that state, resulted
in bit of amateur investigating here.
The Mattresses average from $50 to
$50 a month and their board. This is
the regular wages paid them. The
tips which they receive from their
patrons are the saving grace of the
WaIrress's business. for she average
much more in tips than in regular
salaries One restaurant pays it wait
resses $50 each month, in addition to
the board.
The girls average 81 a day in tips.
they say, the year round, and some
times make as high as 81 a day when
their tips run up on account of con-
VentiOns or big meetings This is an
average of SIP per month, without the
salary. which makes their total in
come S142 each month. This is equal
to that drawn by many skilled men
workers in their pay envelopes each
month. Mattresses work only an
average of eight hours This estimate
is high, as the Mattresses considered
are employed in the higher class res
taurants- But even the poorest paid
of this class of women workers are
said to exceed the wages paid to the
same class Of wage earners in other
unSkilled places.
