ANOTHER TIP REFORM

THE "anti-tip' campaign has been
putting up a losing fight for
many years. Few people have a
good word to say for it, but they
go on giving tips just the same. In
fact, the practice grows instead Of
decreasing. This country is rapidly
getting to regard the tip system as
an institution such as it has become
in Europe. But in New York City
where the system has its strong
est hold, we note new attempt
of the reformers to get the best OF
the tip evil. In this case, they do
not propose to deprive the waiter
of his extra, but to standardize the
tip and pay it with the bill. We
are not sanguine of the success Of
the new plan. 1t probably will re-
suit in two tips instead of one,
tip to the management and one
for the employee. The Springfield
Republican thus comments on the
new plan:
evidence Of real progress to-
ward a solution of the problem of
the tip nuisance in hotels and res
taurants is afforded by New York
experiment which is described in
the Survey. The plan which has
been in operation for over a year
in several restaurants is simply the
assessment upon customers OF a
service charge of 10 per cent of the
amount of the check, in units of
five cents. The money thus re-
ceived goes to the walters, who are
forbidden to accept tips on pain of
dismissal.
can investigation Of how the plan
works out was undertaken some
time ago by the division of women
in industry of the New York de-
partment of labor in restaurant
employing eight regular walters,
eight lunch walters and two full
time and seven part-time bus boys
or assistants. For the buS-boy
service each regular waiter pays So
a week and each lunch waiter $1.50
a week. During test week the
regular walters served an average
Of 372 persons. In addition to
wages of $12 week and meals the
average amount received from serv-
ice charges was $37. A reasonably
successful attempt to make the pay
equal was made by a system OF
regular change Of tables served.
''The total amount received from
the service charges was somewhat
less than the amount formerly re-
ceived under the tip system but the
walters are said to have approved
the change because it makes it pos
sible to depend upon an approx
mately definite income. The man.
ayers and the customers are also
said to be better satisfied with the
new system. The element Of spe-
cial incentive is found in the OPP
portunity which the waiter has to
call attention judiciously to special

CURRENT COMMENT

ing the moonlight nights Of August, and
none OF the brethren was as gifted. as
fervont, or as loud in prayer as he. When
interest Jagged in the service, when
saints grew cold and sinners indiffer-
ent, one prayer by Dave was worth a
dozen sermons in melting the hearts of
sinners and melting the saints to ac-
tivity in the work of the kingdom. But
Dave would drink. The little brown
Jug was always in his closet, and when
Dave had put three or four drinks Of red
eve under his shirt, all the good that was
in him took wings and sailed away, and
he was demon on earth. He usually
used better judgment in timing his
drinking sprees, but one fateful summer
Dave got on a big thigh lonesome"
while the annual revival meeting was in
full blast. The devil working in him, he
went to the meeting house while his
drunk was in full flower and did many
awful things. He called the preacher
bad names, he threw gems Of profanity
at the pious elders and deacons, he shot
ali the window lights out Of the meeting
house, and one stray ball from his pistol
made an ugly wound in Uncle Billie
Thomason's leg. OF course, Dave was
turned out of the church of course he
was arrested, and several ugly charges
were entered against him on the court
records Of his county. Forgiving, sym
pathetic neighbors made bond for Dave,
and it was arranged that he should for
felt his bond. move to Texas and begin
life anew. Dave took a solemn vow
never 20 touch whskey again, which
vow was made in all penitence and ear
nestness. Between suns Dave and his
family left Tennessee for Texas. his des-
tination known only TO a few close
friends. who promised TO keep quiet,
and who kept their promise Reaching
mis- new home. Dawes conduct was that
of model citizen. He united with the
church, he led the singing in the Sun,
day school, he was made road overseer
and school trustee, and no man in the
community stood higher or welded
greater influence for good. The seasons
were proptious, cotton yielded well and
was at a good price, and the third year
out Dave bought a Ford But unfor-
tunately, in his trek to Texas Dave took
the little brown jug. Never did he ex-
pect TO put drop of whiskey in it, and
he never did. But jugs are needed in

stopper was needed for the jug, and. no
