been one of the rOttenest franchise

At this point, when the case looked
worse for the Armour interests than
any time before, Aid. Bergen moved
to kill the forfeiture ordinance. He
said:
Because we have the right to take
this property does not mean that we

to take Automatic phone service and
therefore owners should not be pun

The Anti Tipping Bill passed the
House this week. Many complaints
have suddenly arisen from the Negro
porters and walters, who have moth
ing but opinions to express as to its
worth. They have no organization or
official organ and they want things
done "for the race" Many of the
most intelligent are supporting the tip
system. It is hard to get the Negro
to realize that his work should be
standardized and his services paid for.
He has had little experience as a
salaried employee, and they do not
expect 1neiti,er will they demand)
living wages should the bill pass. We
hold that the fact that the corpora
tions do not properly pay their walters
and porters, is the sole reason that
these employees are the object Of the
pity and charity Of the people whom
they serve.
