Bellboys have their uniforms fur- nished and maintained and have the opportunity of ;earning from $5 to $10 or more per day in tips plus vacation pay. Waitresses re- geive, in addition to their present day’s pay of $7.50, three meals a day and. their ,uniforms..are fur- nished by the hotel. They also have the opportunity of earning from $3 to as high as $7.50 per) day in tips. They, too receive two weeks vacation with pay. Cooks receive the same consideration in meals, plus laundry and vacatmn| pay. { “The additional cost of payrolls‘ for vacation and the three types of insurance in the case of the Bar- of the total payroll, or appmx]—' mately $1,200 per month.
