BENNER & CO., 32 No. Sth St, Philadelphia, Penns Vat iia, A GOOD IDEA It has been suggested that The Billboard draw attention to the following circular that is being mailed to drummers: It has been truthfully said that the public will fight when it is pushed to the limit. About one year ago the American public came to the conclusion that it was being mulcted by profiteers in wearing apparel and shoes. The result was that the public went on a “‘strike’’ and refused to make further purchases, some people going so far as to sacrifice their personal appearance by wearing cast-off shoes and clothing which had been discarded months and years before. The daily press carried large headlines telling about professional men, judges, bankers and busi ness men appearing in overalls. This all helped to spread the propaganda of the ‘‘strike’’ then in progress. It is not necessary in this letter to tell what happened. From the day the ‘purchasers’ strike’? was declared and inaugurated wearing apparel and shoes started on their long toboggan ride, and these commodities are still on the decline, with no one willing to predict or attempt to speculate how far below a reasonable level the price for these commodities will go, and the public is still using its strike slogan, ‘‘Refuse to buy.’ The foregoing story is only a synopsis of what has actually occurred in a few months’ time. Traveling men all over the country have reached the conclusion, and rightly so, that the prices charged by hotels for rooms and meals have reached the peak, and it is time to call a “‘strike.’’ The traveling fraternity has the same weapon with which to wage warfare upon the hotel proprietors and hotel corporations that the general public used in refusing to purchase wearing apparel and shoes at prices which they thought unreasonable and out of proportion. Therefore, in order to help you and your fellow travelers, the Hotel Committee of The International Federation of Commercial Travelers’ Organizations urges the recipient of this letter to refuse to patronize such hotels as are charging or asking exorbitant prices for rooms and food. This letter is being sent to six hundred thousand (600,000) traveling men, and each and every man must do his part, for only in unison is there strength, and only by the concentrated efforts of the army of six hundred thousand of your craft can it be expected to get results. Therefore, it behooves every man to help break the wall of high prices by patronizing cheaper hotels and restaurants. A thirty days’ ‘“‘strike’’ along the line herein suggested will cause the hotels to soon offer more favorable terms and inducements. When you step up to a hotel register and you are told the price of a room, if you believe it is exorbitant after taking into consideration the service offered and the investment of the hotel, do not hesitate to say so and walk out. This must also be done in restaurants. Traveling men from different parts of the country have sent the Hotel Committee copies of menu cards of leading hotels, and, by scanning the prices published thereon, it makes one think that Jesse James was a piker in his palmiest days when compared with the prices some hotels are asking for accommodations. You can not bring down these prices by submitting to them and then go out and kick. Your complaint must be made to the hotel proprietor and he must be given to understand that you and the members of your craft intend to refuse to pay them. After a careful survey of all kinds of methods suggested, this is the only plan that seems feasible and practical and which may work out successfully. Therefore, boys, *“*go on a strke’’ against exorbitant charges for hotel rooms and food. HOTEL COMMITTEE OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS’ ORGANIZATIONS. JOHN A.
