HELP, BAY STATE

Boston. Jan. 22-The state board of
labor and industries in reporting to the
Legislature today upon an investiga-

state, recommended that they be
granted ore day of rest in seven.
The tip system and its attendant
evils. the board found, is responsible
for great deal OF discomfort among
hotel workers, not SO much because of
the system itself. as the anxieties and
uncertainties of the situation.
Meals served TO employees were rat
able as good, fair and poor in about the
same proportions, said the report "A
meal described as poor" continues
all sorts of leftover food. salt meat
often spoiled. potatoes, bread and tea.
A dish of each kind of food is placed
at one end of each long table seating
about 20 persons, each of whom helps
himself There is never enough for a
second helping. and anyone coming late
is apt to 20 without food No butter
or desert is ever served. The dining
room is dark and dirty. The legs of
the table are placed in dishes of water
to keep ants from getting on the table
and food. This method, however, is
not entirely successful"
