Another historical Pullman question...

During WW II, many troop trains utilized Pullman cars.  These included regular
cars as well as special high density troop sleepers.  According to books,
these were staffed with Pullman porters who gave the troops the same service
that regular passengers 
received.

Anyway, in regular service, the porters depended on tips for part of their
income.  But what about in troop service?  Servicemen didn't have much money
and weren't in a position to leave tips.  Did the government or Pullman make
up the wage difference?  
It would seem surprising that the porters would get screwed out of their tip
income.

(Note that during WW II land grant railroads were required, from the terms of
their original land grants, to give the government deeply discounted rates. 
These rates were below cost.  For modest travel this wasn't a problem, but
with the massive 
movements of the war this hurt the railroads financially.  Finally, the govt
made some adjustment in what it paid.)
