The servant girl problem has becomes
distracting by the diminution of sup,
ply and the exorbitant wages demand
ed. Young women who formerly were
engaged in domestic service are now
largely going into shops because Of
higher wages, though they do not CON-
slider the offset Of longer hours, in
creased expenses, and physical wear
and tear. A partial solution Of the,
problem in the East Is suggested by
the appearance Of men chambermaids
and men Of all work, who are not only
quite as handy rs chambermaids but
do their work even better, quicker,
and more reliably, thus justifying the
famous opinion which Bartle Massey
delivered to Mrs. Poyser as to the rela-
tive ability Of man and woman. To-
what extent men can be relied upon to-
take the places Of women in domestic
service Is an unknown quantity, but
in the meantime the United British
Women's Emigration Association has
hit upon a plan for supplying conn.,
petent help in homework in the colo-
MES which seems susceptible Of wider
adoption. 1t is the system Of "com-
panion helps" A circular has recently
been issued by the association Ia which,
the system is explained. Companion
helps" are educated women who have
fitted themselves to undertake situa-
tons by actual domestic experience!
in cooking and homework. In Canada
the demand for intelligence on the
part Of applicants is still more extend
ed. They must have learned cooking,i
baking, washing, milking, dairy work.,
Bookkeeping, poultry raising, and CUT
ting and making simple dresses. These
conditions, however, apply to those
who are going out to the colonies. But,
on the other hand, these companions
helps" have advantages and privileges
which no domestic servant is allowed
to have. The circular asserts that a.
companion help" is engaged where
no servant is kept, and where the mis-
tress undertakes some part of the
work In the same way in which mar
ried woman and her sister might d.
vide the household duties. "Com-
panion helps" share in the family life,
and many women have been only too
glad to avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity to become companions rather
than servants and to have a life with
the family. The salaries are not large,
varying from $12O to $245 a year. but
the privileges are such as NO servant
can have. Some such system as this
was the vogue in New England half
century ago, when American girls
went into service and became sharers
in the family life. 1t may be impos-
sible to revive 1t, because American
girls now look down upon domestic
service and prefer the slavery Of the
shops, but it might be adopted to a
certain extent, for there are many
competent women who would rejoice
to have a home Of this kind and be-
come identified with a family, even
a helper. There does not seem to
any sufficient reason why this sys-
,em should be confined to colonies.
Failing this, however, or some other
method Of recruiting female servants,
the day Of the man servant would
seem to be near at hand. In some
parts Of the East he Is already COM
ing to the front.

The new national organization is to
be called 1.-THE Union Reform PARTY. .
and it will seek to amalgamate the sill
yer Republicans, the Populists. the So
cial Labor Party and the Liberty Party.
in fact all of the minor parties except
the Prohibftionfsts. In response to the
call sent out by Chairman r. S. Thomp-
son and Secretary M. A. Neff, there
were seventeen States represented in
the national conference. No credentials
were required, as all who favored the
referendum principles of direct legisla-
ton were admitted. The promoters of
the proposed amalgamation hope to
have their party organization so per-
fected as to become a factor in the
Presidential contest next year.
The conference was called to order
by Chairman r. s. Thompson of the
Ohio committee, who read the call and
invited all those in favor of the initia-
tive and referendum principles to seats
in the convention.
The following temporary organization
was then reported and adopted: Chair
man, NJ. G. Eichelberger, Baltimore;
Secretary, G. B. Lockwood, Vincennes,
Ind; Assistant Secretary, George B.
Shire, Albany, NJ Y
After brief speech by Chairman
Eichelberger, motion was made to
have the Chairman appoint the usual
committees.
This was opposed as inconsistent
with the initiative and referendum prin-
ciples. Some wanted everything con-
sidered in open convention. The ses-
sion was devoted to this discussion.
