Fifth Edition Will Boost Meal Prices At Elks Carnival
During the Elks carnival the peak visitor numbers in Beattie will push meal prices higher as the Restaurant Association plans to advance prices. Restaurant and hotel men were invited to a meeting to discuss the proposed increases and how they will affect menus during the carnival. Cooks and waiters argue higher pay is needed due to longer hours and heavier duties, with cooks paid 0 a day and waiters 3, a 75 percent rise, threatening to raise menu prices to avoid losses. Labor leaders counter that employers use wage talks as a pretext to push meal costs up.
