...next remark, that the hall does not pretend to furnish board at less than $4.50, is an entire mistake. The steward receives $1500 for his fixed salary, but the rest depends directly upon his ability to keep the price of board down to $4.00 For every additional ten cents in the price of board, his salary would diminish $7.30 per week...
...steward is thus placed in a delicate position of being obliged to keep the board at $4.00, and at the same time to keep it satisfactory enough to keep the hall full. The success of the Hall depends on the maximum number of members.

You can get some idea of the rapidity of work, when you consider the fact that when our present steward first entered upon his duties, there were scarcely enough table clothes to go around once, and when soiled, had to be washed, dried, and ironed between meals. So much for the laundry, a mere incident in the general management...
