LABOR DOMESTIC HELP, IS BETTER PAID SOCIOLOGICAL STUDENT MAKES A CAREFUL ANALYSIS. Comparative Figures Lead to the Con elusion that Domestic Service Is More Desirable than Employment in Stores or FactoriesA New System of Household Service Is Suggested. Many employers of domestics have long contended that the girl who re ceives $3 or more a week foi housework better off in all respects than the factory or shop girl who toils a whole week for $6 to $8. Of late this phase of the female labor question has beon receiving some attention at the hands of a former attache of the state labor bureau, who has made an exhaustive in vestigation. A"s a result, she has be come a convert to the idea that the shop or store girl isn *t it with the domestic at the end of a year's ser vice. In working out her ideas, the lady has computed the average cost of keeping one servant a family for one month of thirty davs to be "30.05. these fig ures having been averaged from twelve schedules submitted by housekeepers employing but one helper. In order to illustrate iust how the fac tory girl, for instance, could improve her condition, the author has compiled, in addition to a graded scale for house work, which will allow a girl to work several different places in a week, doing cooking and baking at one house, waiting on table at another and wash ing dishes and sweeping at still an other. This schedule is made up from the statistics furnished by a dozen housekeepers, and is intended to show how the svstem laid out would allow a girl to live at home, be as independent as a girl in a store or factory and still earn more money. Besides, it is in tended as a solution of the servant girl problem for those housewives who cannot afford to employ a domestic all the time. Under the proposed plan, a girl could work in several houses each day, being paid by the hour, according to the scale provided. It is said a num ber of factory girls are willing to give the scheme a test, providing housekeep ers can be found who are willing to co operate. Here is a table giving the cost per month for one servant, under the present system of continuous employ ment at one place: Per 30 Day* Board (13^C a meal) $1215 Room, heat, light, supplies 2 57 Average wage 15 38 Total 30 05 Average number of Lours of actual work per day ten (eight on Sunday) sixty eisjht hours per week, price per hour, 10 cents. Following is a table showing the proposed graded system of housework and its cost, the grading being done by housekeepers who submitted the first table: FirstCooking, baking and serving meals, 12c per hour SecondWaiting on table and door, dusting, bed making, 10c per hour ThirdWashing dishes, sweeping and clean ing, 8c per hour Below wiU be found figures showing what sixty-eight hours of this graded service would cost the housekeeper for one week and for one thirty-day month: 22 2 3 hours (one-third of 68) of first grade service at 12c $2 72 Less 91c (13MiC a meal) for seven meals a week 04 Total $178 22 2 3 hours of second-grade service at 10c. less 94o 1 33 22 2 3 hoars of third-grade service at 8c, less 94c 87 Cash cost per wtek 8 98 Or $17,10 a month, plus $1215 (cost of meals) $29 25. The earning capacity of girls under the proposed graded system, would be as follows: First grade girl with full schedule of sixty eight hours at 12c would earn $8 16 per week less $2 84 for board$5 82 (Taking but two meals a day it woud be $6 27) 1 first grade has earning capacity of S22.S0 a month and a*l board, or $26 83 and two meals a day Second grade girl with same schedule of sixty eight hours a week at 10c an hour would earn $6 80$2 84$3 96 i second-gi ader has an earning capacity of $16 96 per month and board. Third grade girl on same schedule basis at 8o an hour has an earning capacity of $2 60 a week and board or $11-44 a month and board This is an average of $16.96 a month, a"n'd no expense for room, heat, light, etc., which if correctly estimated in present schedule at $2.57 would make the graded system cost less than the present ungraded system. Girls under proposed system would live at home. The schedules given above are only for illustration. A woman may not want as much of one service as of an other. TI19 first grade girl would be able to cook dinner in- two homes (a noon and evening dinner), filling up schedule by baking in nearby homes certain days of the week. For breakfasts and luncheon a sec ond girl, having the help of the mis tress, might draw 11 cents an hour. Whether the "system*' would work out in practice is a question which re mains for the housewife to decide. However, the author would like to see it given a trial* and invites the co-op eration and assistance of housekeepers and girls in giving it a test. Any per son who cares to communicate with the originator of the plan' may do so thru the local bureau of the state labor de partment. JOB PRINTERS TO STRIKE Neither Side Seems Disposed to Prevent Such Action. Both sides in the local printers' con troversy remain firm, and it now seems certain that one week from Monday all printers in the offices of members, of the Typothetae in Minneapolis and "St. Paul will be out. There is not one chance in a thousand that anything could prevent a walkout on Oct. 2, un less it should be complete surrender on the part of the employers, and this is out of the question. A communication was sent to the Typothetae from the Typographical union asking for a conference of repre sentatives from each organization to see what arrangement could be made for the introduction .of the shorter workday. The communication was considered by, the executive board of the employers organization, and the reply stated that, as the document from the union officials provided for the putting into effect of the eight-hour day, and as the Typothe tate was already on record thru the United Typothetae on the question, nothing could be done with it. The re ply further stated that the communica tion would be referred to the next meet ing of the employers. Bulletins sent out from the head- JhdianapolisthInd., uarters of eight-hour committee at are very encourag ing to the workmen. The strike has now extended to upward of thirty-five cities, but the number of mon out is not as large as was thought would be the case. Detroit, Mich., is said to be the place where the union is experienc ing the greatest difficulty, but reports of this week from there are of a more encouraging nature and today union of ficials express confidence that they will win. In Chicago, up to yesterday evening, 141 oifices had signed contracts, and among these, six were said to be Ty "pothetae concerns. President T"J I sends word that employers are coming into line rapidly and expresses the conviction that the fight there will soon be won. Typographical union, No. 42, has over forty applications for membership from country printers, and a large class will be initiated Sunday. This is one of the results of the work being done by the three organizers in the southern and central parts of the state. Messrs. J. C. Devereaux of St. Paul, G. W. Deacon of Minneapolis and M. Grant Hamilton, general organizer for the American Federation of Labor, have been at work for several weeks among the country printers and report decided success. In addition to these, there are two organizers in the northern section of the state. A report is current that representa tives ox the union will give every Ty pothetae employer an opportunity to sign a contract between now and Oct. 1, and that in the event of his declin ing to do so, he will be dealt with af ter that date only thru his organiza tion. This means, in effect, that the union will sign contracts with all or none. Sunday's meeting of the union will be a lively one, and the local eight hour committee will have some inter esting matter to report. Rev. Dr. L. T. Guild of Wesley church will be pres ent and will speak upon "The Eight Hour Day." NEEDS MORE GINGER The Trades Assembly Will Consider Plans for Reorganizing.
