Tips AS Wages Held
Unlawful by
Federal Judge

Tips are not meant to be wa
ges and cannot be so considered
in applying the provisions of the
Wage-Hour law, Federa1 Judge
William H. Atwell ruled when he
awarded back wages and liqui-
dated damages to Al red caps
employed by the Union Termin-
al in Dallas, Texas. With at
torneys' fees added, this means
that the terminal company will
have to pay out $86,500.
The suit was brought by A. j.
Pickett, general chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
on the M. K. & T. He acted on
instructions from President G.
M. Harrison, who decided not to
await further action by the en-
forcement agencies of the gov
ernment.
At the trial the workers were
represented by Stewart B. Flan-
nagan and Edwin d. Franey,
members of the firm of Hay and
Flanagan, st. Louis.
Both sides agreed that prior to
the enactment of the Wage
Hour law, the red caps had work
ed for tips only and that, after
the law became effective, the
company notified the men to re-
port the amount of tips received
and promised to make up the diff
ference so the red caps would be
assured the minimum provided
by law.
1t was also stipulated that
Pickett, acting in behalf of the
men, served written notice on the
company that this plan was not
agreeable and that it violated the
law.
"If Congress, familiar as it is
with tipping, had meant to in
clude tips as wages, the law
would have so provided" Judge
Atwell declared.
Replying to arguments made
by the railroad attorney, the
court continued: "It is beside
the question to talk about 80 men
being ready to take the place of
every red cap let out. It is like
wise beside the question to men
tion color when referring to the
employees involved in this suit"
AS this is the first case involv-
ing the question of tips to en-
ployes in computing wages, un-
der the Wage-Hour law, the con-
troversy has attracted nation
wide attention.
Pickett hailed the verdict as
victory for the men and the law.
"For years." he said, "the rail-
roads have been requiring the
public to pay a bill that is right
fully the obligation of the rail
roads. Thousands of American
workers in other lines will bene-
fit from Judge Atwell's interpre-
tation of the law"
