Hotel Porters at the Station.

10 the Editor of The Star:
While the superintendent of police and
the Commissioners are inaugurating re-
forms for the District there is one that
should not be overlooked-that is the
elimination of the hotel and rooming house
porters in front of Union station. 1t is a
disgrace to the city to have every person
tnative or strangely who walks out from
the station with baggage in hand bounded
for block or two by these white caps.
Another great objection is the injustice
to the tourist who visits the Capital city
for a day, or two, or three. as it is the
custom of these porters to hold up the
rooming house proprietor for one-half of
the receipts of the first day. OF course,
the stranger fcots the bill, as he is taxed
just much more. ! can hardly see the
need of these roomng house guides, as
the Kenyon law is strictly enforced in the
District. and there il not "A great deal
