Meatless Tuesday in Gotham Hotels; Will Chop Prices.

New York, Oct. 16.—New York City’s principal hotels and restaurants will institute “meatless Tuesdays” in place of “beefless Tuesdays,” beginning next week, it was decided by unanimous vote of the executive committee of the Hotel Men’s Association of New York at a meeting here today. It was also voted to have a “wheatless Wednesday” every week. A reduction in the price of beef, which the hotel men asserted was due to “beefless” days inaugurated m various citnies, is expected to occur also in other meat prices after the idea of “meatless” days spread* through the country.
