Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 April 1915 — Tipping Before Commission. [ARTICLE]

Tipping Before Commission.

Pulman sleeping car porters went on the witness stand before the U. S. commission Tuesday and told the commission what tipping meant to them. They stated that it meant their bread and butter and that they could not pay expenses on the road, to say nothing of maintaining a family. A statement was also made that Pullman porters do not consider it dishonest to knock down on seat sales to pay their own expenses on the road. Thomas Crenshaw, a porter, stated that his salary was $45 a month and that he made $75 a month on tips.
