Are Given Employment.

CHICAGO, February 2.-Thirty boys.
employees of Jacques Rousso. head of the
so-caled tipping trust which rents the
checking concessions in hotels and cafes,
have gone on strike because Rousso had
substituted girls for some of their num-

stronger appeal to the hearts OF cafe pa
irons.
The tipping business, the boys say, has
fallen off as a result of publicity. Pa

war on Rousso when they learned from
the newspapers that tips given to lively
check boys eventually found their way to
Rousso's pocket the boys having no
pockets.
Rousso employed ten girls last week.
They wear special uniforms with no
pockets and with extra tight collars to
prevent dropping money down.
The boys demand 81 a day salary and

make places for girls. Fifty more boys
intend to quit work this week, they say
