States 1t is urged that the same de-
gree of protection afforded American
industry from such unfair competition
from a local competitor should be
equally afforded If the competition
might come from foreign source.
Such practices engaged in by for
eign monopoly in this country hereto
fore render probable their repetition
with greater severity at the conclu-
sion of the war. Customs tariffs in
such situations haze been absorbed.
Tariffs have been found to. be unsatis
such practices. Dumping by foreign
monopolies into this country. either of
their surplus products or of their com
petitive products. and the selling OF
such products at a cost in this country
below the prevailing market cost in
the country of their production, is
vicious in practice and holds poten-
tialities of great harm to American in
dustry and to the American people.
Such practices are prohibited by law
in Australia not through the customs
tariff. but through legislation looking
to the repression of monopoly and to
the protection OF local industry from
foreign monopoly. In Australia such
practices are declared to be unfair
competition and placed under the ban
of the law. American enterprise and
industry indigenous to our soil and
native to our conditions are entitled
to have such competition of foreign
monopoly declared to be unfair and to
have such practices prevented II

above the regular price.
When you talk with this tavern-keeper
he wakes enthusiastic over this idea of the
service relation between the hotel and its
patrons. He will give you little printed
code, issued to his employees, which en-
bodies his idea of that relation. That code
is good enough to be printed in full here,
but space forbids. 1t reads, in part:
At rare intervals some perverse member

Brightness of this or that. He maintains thai

that it isn't. Or that this sauce was ordered
when the guest says the other. Or the boy

rlght-and make us think that the waiter is
And just here take heed that, in all dis
cusslons between guests of this hotel and
our employees the employee is dead wrong
from the guests standpoint and from ours.
The man who wrote that little code
may not be above criticism. 1t NAV be
that in his taverns he is charging out
rageous prices for grapefruit, or is permit
ting an established system of hat-checking
brigandage at his restaurant door. These
things can be overlooked; for he seems
to have fundamental idea of successful
business in his head-the fundamental
idea of a fair relation between a business
and its patrons, such relation as Marshall
Field and John Wanamaker made possi-
BILE. And it might be well if commercial
travellers and other organizations of a SIM
liar sort would buy copies of this little
code and distribute them, so that every
hotel-keeper in the land might possess a
copy to read and to digest
For in such spirit as this the hotel
problem of America-big and perplexing
to every one it touches, whether stock
holder or patron, employee or manager
will eventually be solved And there is no
reason why the United States should not
become world-famed for the character of
its hotels-not merely in an architectural
sense, or because of the excellence of their
food, or even the fine qualities of their SER
vice, but rather because of the skilful
blending of all these things with still an
other-sincere, home-bidding hospitality
the trait of which all of us Yankees are
SO supremacy proud. Here is a recipe
upon which successful hotel may be con-

restaurants ana cafeteria. 1t has seen
that if there is profit in the cafeteria idea
for an outsider, there ought to be at least
a similar profit there for itself. Many
new hotels of the better class have in
stalled the table dh6te or "club" luncheons.
And a big house in Cleveland somewhat
shouldered aside by newcomer, has in
stalled "club" dinner at most reason
able price-a decided comfort to man
travelling alone, who objects to the
high-priced single dishes that confront
him in the restaurant of any modern
hotel.
AT this point it is entirely in order for
your hotel proprietor to arise again in the
wrath of protest and to say:
at is not the question of prices that
troubles the man that travels. He is
willing to pay the prices-look at the way
the excess-fare trains on the railroads are
crowded nowadays. But he demands the
service. After all, that is what hotel has
to sell-service.
10 this last-a moment of reasonable
attention. And, to save protracted argu-
ment, let us waive many point and adj
init that service is the chief thing sought
by the traveller But does the man who
sojourns in the big modern hotels that
have sprung up all the way across the land
get service? You and l, being awakened
at seven o'clock in the morning by Mag
gle, the chambermaid on our floor, shout
ing to Mollie, the chambermaid on the
next, do not feel that we are getting it.
But if we do not like that way of doing
things, we will have to make the best of it.
Time and modernity change many things.
And appeal to them, like appeal to the
head waiter, is generally worse than USE
less.
Service-the Chief Thing Hotel
Has to Sell
THIS is one side of the picture. Here is
the other, contributed by another
clever tavern-keeper. He also believes
that the chief thing that a hotel has to sell
is service. In the houses that he operates
you will find something dangerously like
that quality. Perhaps that is the reason
he has already great taverns in three en-
terprising cities of the Middle West. and
dreams of establishing many more. Perhaps
that is the reason that in his hotels Mag
gle and Mollie do not shout down the cor
ridors, do not rattle your door-knob at
seven o'clock in the morning
to discover whether there is need of clean
towels, but really to find if they may begin
the days dull routine at your apartment.
Instead, the telephone central downstairs
jingles the bell softly when she arouses you
to tell you that there is telegram for you.
and then you sleepily discover that

4 lean city has new hotel 1t may
- be six stories in height, or it may
be sixteen; but it is sure to be dominant
cubicle, fashioned after the newest met
ropoltan taverns in New York or in
Chicago.
Only, the difference is that, where
economic conditions in New York, Chi
cago, and few others of our largest cities
demand the skyscraper type of hostelry,
there is hardly small city or large town
in the country where hotel fashioned
more upon the foreign ideals of an inn
generous as to lawns and porches, with
their opportunities for lunches and din
ners al frescO-would not have been more
fit, to say nothing of less expensive.
Across the Way to the Jitney Lunch
THE new hotel is operated upon the
European plan, of course. 1t was
opened with a banquet or dance, and for
a time it did vast amount of restaurant
business. But after that the tidal wave
OF ever-eating receded-naturally. The
maitre dh6tel-imported from Alsace, by
the way of Hartford and Wilkes-Barre-
began to lose his smile of welcome. For
he had glanced out of the window too
many times and watched the room patrons
of the hotel slipping noiselessly out of its
portals and into the "Gus and Jim Jitney
Lunch" across the way, a humble estab-
lishment that seemed to thrive almost en-
tirely as by-product of its aristocratic
neighbor.
You may go into almost any American
city, even the very large ones, New York
or Philadelphia or Chicago, and find low
priced restaurants shoulderng them
selves against high-priced hotels and de-
irving large portion OF their patronage
from the roomers of those hotels 1t is an
unpleasant form of competition, but a
very persistent one. And it is form of
competition that seems to be increasing
both rapidly and constantly.
al could cut out the restaurants in
every one of my hotels and make lot
more money out of them" says one well
known hotel-keeper. "The room end of
the hotel-and the bar-make the money.
The restaurants lose it. But they must be
maintained in order that the reputation of
the house be maintained. We have to be
like the big fellows-which means that we
have to give our patrons the same style
that they might find on Fifth Avenue or on
Michigan Avenue. Ours is a relatively
small house and our city is the twenty
second largest in the land. But our
menu-cards must carry all the dishes that
one may find in hotel of thousand
sleeping-rooms. We have tremendous ice
boxes, brim-filled to meet the occasional
orders of captious patron, and the food
that we have to throw away each night
