ot weat League of Newapapere shiteh ing wy Main | 400 Star |» * $190, 98 @ month per month ap £ ’ . : This May Lose Us Tourists ' A feeling on the part of the entertainment committee of the Order of 47 Railroad Telegraphers that Seattle is indifferent to their holding the biennial i convention here, may take their meeting to some other city. This would be unfortunate from the standpoint of attracting tourists to this city in the general campaign to make the Northwest the summer 4 garden of the country. i The railroad telegraphers, most of whom are ticket agents as well, are , the men who probably have more to do with routing of travelers than any other class of men, They can easily make tourists miss Seattle if they take affront at this city. For a long time, cities have, perhaps foolishly, paid bonuses for con- j ventions. Seattle business men were taxed $150,000 in 1915 for conven- ere Pate 3 tion expenses. This surely has advertised the city—and now come the CTORMAN,_ telegraphers, expecting that at least two or three thousand dollars would be spent by the city for their entertainment. ; The Chamber of Commerce, however, informs them it has no money, and naturally the telegraphers feel that they are perhaps discriminated against—that Seattle does not want them.
