\ movement to elevate the stand-

Wore the convention of the Georgia
Hotel men's Association at the Klm-
>all House Friday morning by A. J.
Dorman, a hotel proprietor of Hous-
on. Miss.
Mr. Dorman protested against the
'"’lal ostracism to which he declared
oung women and young men who
inter the employment of a hotel are
-ubjectd, declaring .that they should
be the social equals of workers in the
eame 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
n good standing in the community;
but when young men and young wo
men. especially the latter, enter hotel
ork they are frowned upon and
-traoised socially. Some movement
ight to be started to put an end to
his. and I for one would be willing
o do whatever I could in behalf of
•:»* hotel workers.”
Indorses Dorman’s Views.
Mr. Dorman’s views were indorsed
by Jacob Miller, of Chicago, president
of the International Stewards’ Asso-
iation, who declared that training
schools for hotel employees, similar
:r> the ones that are conducted su<S
essfully in Germany and Switzer-
ind. have become almost a necessity
or America.
He called attention to the fact that
he association of which he is the
ead has r ' the or' ! -~t.ion of a
ot^l training school in connec*'
nth a normal school in Muncie, Ind..
ttd asked the Georgia association to
ndorse the school.

To Talk Hotel Legislation.
A discussion of needed hotel legis-
atlori was scheduled as the feature
■ »f the Friday afternoon session, and

protection to both hotel men and the
traveling public.

tion; Marcellus Anderson, of the T.
