PLAN TO SUPPLY SERVANTS.
Girls VIII BE Sent to Homes at Hour Rat. :
In Response to aaII. by Wire.

In Response to all, by Wire.
The American district servant girl
has been invented in New York. The
rings n call and a servant
at once arrives and begins sweeping
the house or doing other work at the
rate of 20 cents an hour. The name of
the concern that invented this plan Is
the Household Economical Association.
1t will begin supplying girls to custom
ers November 9th from what it calls
its "~wage-earners' section"
The servants who iced work will
study in the school of household arts
between calls. For a small fee experts
will teach them how to cook. The
girls who join the ~wage-earners' sec
ton will receive n life, accident and
sickness insurance policy. Three places
are guaranteed a day to each American
district servant girl. The places must
be within easy walking distance.
Employees pay a fee of 81 to join the
association, which gives them the right
to the service of one class of girls, such
as cooks. For each other call the en-
ployer must pay an additional fee of

THE ONLY WAY.
How Foreigner. Can Gain Entrance to
the American Market.

How to gain entrance to the Amerl-
can market is an absorbing problem
with European manufacturers. They
are confronted with the condition of a
nation of $4,000, 900 of the most liberal
buyers the world knows of supplying
its needs with its own manufactures to
an ever-incTeasing extent, and by so
much diminishing the demand for COM
petitive goods produced abroad. 1t is
a condition distinctly contemplated
and directly brought about by the
Dingley tariff. Under the operations
of the free-trade tariff Of 1S94-1S97
foreign manufacturers had no trouble
in reaching the American market with
their wares. American producers who
found themselves crowded out by for
eign competition were the only ones
who had trouble, and they had lots OF
it. Now it is the foreigner who walks
the floor.

special committee, consisting of Messrs.
Dunn, Of Ramsey; Winston, of Hennepin,

Mr.. Dunn. Of Ramsey, said all the city
officials of ST. Paul were opposed to the
bill. If any firm could come into city,
put up plant and then at the end of
five years turn over the plant, that firm
must intend to make something out of
the contract. The officials considered 1t
would be O dangerous scheme at the
