BIG FID FOR
CONTINUANCE
OF ROAD WORK
WASHINGTON,, March 19 (by As
sociated Fress).—Edwin T. Meredith,
newly appointed secretary of agricul
ture,believes there should be active
continuation of present federal and
state co-operation in connecting state
road systems with the system of ad
joining states in order that the work
i#gfOut of an adequate highway pro
gram for the whole United States
may proceed in an orderly manner.
He also advocates the continuance of
work now going forward under the
federal aid road law.
"As 1921 is the last year covered
by the law,” Mr. Meredith says, "it
would be highly desirable, in my opin
ion, for Congress to make provision
as promptly as possible for the con
tinuation of the work under the pres
ent system by an appropriation of at
least $100,000,000 for each of the four
fiscal years beginning with 1922.”

Sues for $25,425 Her Smiles Won for “Tip Trust”
CHICAGO.—Why are waiters allowed to pocket their tips, while check girls,
door men, washroom hoys and maids must turn them over? That is what
Miss Hannah Stires, one of the prettiest of the girls in the employ of Rousse
& Wolf, 104 West Washington street,
is going to court to find out. Through
her attorney, L. H. Craig, Miss Stires
has filed suit for the recovery of
gratuities handed to her by patrons. 1) jf 1'i V
That the “tipping trust,” managed in ^ h
Chicago by Sam and Clifford Wolf, has /T)
profited to the amount of $25,425 by jv)siv
her sparkling smile is her assertion. ’ a4^1 ‘ y
“If I don’t get as much as they
want, Air. Wylf says to me, ‘Why don't q__
you smile at them?’” she said angrily ^ ■dtixeM
at her home at 6207 Champlain avenue.
“I’m supposed to stick out my hand and beg money from the restaurant
w patrons for the trust.
“If I get a lot he pats me on the back and if I don't he accuses me of
holding out some and threatens to fire me or sue me or something. I have to
turn in about $15 a night, or he is sore. And for this I am paid $15 a w^eek.
* “Waiters can keep their tips. Why can’t I? We girls work hard, seven
days a week and more than eight hours a day. Aly arms ache at night, with
lifting the heavy coats. And we have to lie for them. Lots of times men say
they won’t tip me if it goes to the trust, so I have to lie and say it doesn’t.”
Aliss Stires has worked for the company for four years. The “trust”
which hires the girls has “concessions” in various restaurants. The entire sys
tem is wrong, according to Miss Srires.
