Pay, Red Caps
Want Millions

Cleveland, Ohio, March If
that dime you tipped a red cap is
legally a gratuity, the nations
nearly 10000 railroad terminal
and station porters may demand
back wages of astronomical magni-
tude.
The wage and hour division of
the labor department contends tips
are not wages in the meaning of
the fair labor standards act. This
will be determined in the divisions
pending federal injunction actions.
Red caps in Chicago, Cincinnati and
other cities have sued for back
wages.
A wage-hour spokesman esti-
mated today 10000 red caps could
sue as of this date for S., 600, 600 in
back wages and another 9,600,O0
in iquidated damages if they are
given legal status as railroad or
terminal employees.
GAS of today" said the wage
hour spokesman, ga red cap who
received only tips since the act be-
came effective Oct. "a, 1898, might
sue for about $4,000 back wages,
representing straight time, since
the carriers are exempt from time
and half regulations.
