GLEN BURNIE, Md.—Restaurant owners Rose Saia and Bob Garner occupy opposite ends of a brewing debate over how to pay the nation's 3.3 million waiters, hairdressers, blackjack dealers and other workers who live predominantly off tips. Ms. Saia, owner of the Local Table café in Acton, Mass., agrees with Democratic lawmakers and worker-advocacy groups who say tipped workers are long overdue for a bump in the federal minimum tipped wage, which hasn't changed since 1991. Mr. Garner, co-owner of the Glory Days Grill restaurant chain here in Maryland and northern Virginia, sides with many Republicans and much of the restaurant industry in opposing the move, which would primarily affect workers in the restaurant trade. Democrats are pushing to boost the federal base wage for tipped workers to at least $7.10 an hour.
