TO 1ST PUCE
Speaker at 'Landlords’Convention
Would Improve Social Status
of Girls and Young Men.
A movement to elevate the stand
ards of hotel employes and put them
on a plane of social equality with
clerks and other workers was urged
befcre the convention of the Georgia
ilot3l men’s Association at the Kim
ball House Friday morning by A. J.
Dorman, a hotel proprietor of Hous
ton, Miss.
Mr. Dorman protested against the
social ostracism to which he declared
young women and young men who
enter tho employment of a hotel are
subjectd, declaring that they should
be the social equals of workers in the
same financial class.
“A young man or young woman
« an go Into a store and sell goods and
be a clerk,” he asserted, "and still be
received in good society and remain
in good standing in the community;
but when young men and young wo
men, especially the latter, enter hotel
work they are frowned upon and
ostracised socially. Some movement
ought to be started to put an end ,to
this, and I for one would be willing
to do whatever I could in behalf of
the hotel workers.”
Indorses Dorman's Views.
Mr. Dorman’s views were indorsed
by Jacob Miller, of Chicago, president
of the International Stewards’ Asso
ciation, who declared that trninire
schools for hotel emplovees. similar
to the ones that are conducted suc
cessfully in Germany and Switzer
land. have become almost a necessity
for America.
He called attention to the fact that
the association of which he is the
Lead has n- - the or^ f ~"tJon of a
hotel training school in Conner**-
with a normal school irt Muncie, Ind.,
and asked the Georgia association to
indorse the school.
O her prominent hotel men deliver
ed short addresses at the opening
session, among them James G. Smith,
of Natchez, Miss., and F. W. Arm
strong. of Macon. The latter is chair-
mar of the executive and membership
commit frees, and reported a score of
new members who have been secured
since the last meeting.
With th«» exception of the few
spe» ches. the morning session was de
voted to routine business, the naming
of the committees, reports of officers
etc.
Secretary Fred Houser read letters
from a number of prominent hotel
men of other states, many of them
cut the program, who will be unable
to be present. Among them were
James A. Smokes, of Philadelphia,
president of the Greeters of Ameri
ca; S. F. Dutton, of Denver, Colo.;
lx>uis Seelbach, of Louisville, presi-
t.en of the Hotel Men's Mutual Ben
