The servant girl problem seems TO
have been approached and threshed
Iout at all points but the one point
which would seem to be OF vital Inn
portance.
There Is, unfortunately, caste sys-
tenn In the western world quite as
fixed as that In the eastern world. and
nowhere Is IL 30 marked as In the
hard and fast lines drawn about the
Occupation Of domestic service. Until
this Is largely done away with. there
win be the same dispairing wall 90 up
from Incompetent or overworked wo-
manhood.
Until this Is done away with, thou
sands OF girls VIII prefer the tedious.
|monotonous life OF the ill-smelling fac
tory, the nerve-racking department
store, the insufficient food and tiny
hall bed which are all these wages
can provide, to the comparative com
fort and good living which they would
have I'm the homes Of the city where
they are In the home but not OF It.
We are not arguing for the includ.
ing of the domestic within the family
circle, which would be q doctoring OF
the symptoms, not the disease. but for
the placing Of domestic service on an
independent, dignified basis; In other
words, making Of It profession or
trade.
The only way this can be done Is
20 have all colleges and universities
add to their curriculum Q course 10

domestic science (which some Of them
have already done), to which certain
honors shall be accorded at gradua-
tion. The fully equipped young wo-
man may then enter her position as
q paid employe In the same manner
that she would enter any store or
factory. She should have certain
number OF hours q day and then 60
home and live the other hours OF her
life as she deems At. exactly az any
other employee would do. She would
be eficient and give full value Tor
her wages.
She would not be expected to work
overtime unless paid for It.. nor should
she expect extra favors, In the nature
OF aifts, ETC.. from her employer.
When night help was needed. another
person should be hired, as is the Gus
tom with trained nurses.
On this solid basis II might reason
ably be expected that better and bet.
ter classes of girls would enter this
dignified profession for which they
are peculiarly fitted and under which
conditions being right they would
thrive much better, physically and
financially, than In the factory or the
department store. Tie anamolous DO

ordinary family is one not calculated
to bring feeling Of seif-respect 70

that without seff,respect. she must de

WASHINGTON, Oct. ls.-Postmas-
ter-General Burleson has so far failed
to take any action In the case OF Alex
ander II. stephens, superintendent OF
the railway mail service. who threat
ened civil service employees with dis
missal for exercising their constitu-
tional right 20 petition congress. Mr..
Burleson was unsuccessful In an AT
tempt to have q Democratic senator
defend Mr.. stephens on the floor OF
the senate.
The Stephens case was brought TO
the attention or congress by Senator
Borah OF Idaho. The Idaho senator
has had pending before the senate
for some time bill to prevent the
use OF the stop-watch or other time
measuring devices on government
works, or the payment OF premium
or bonus for speeding up--the so
called scientific system OF shop-man'
agement." Certain employees OF the
railway mail service signed petitions
endorsing the bill and sent them to
congress. This right Is guaranteed
them not only In general terms by the
constitution Of the United States, but
also by specific act OF congress.
Notwithstanding this. In q speech
at Indianapolis on Sept. 4. before the
railway mail clerks association, A
II. Stephens, the superintendent oi
that branch OF the service. issued
this threat to the clerks:
And let me tell you that anybody
that signs that petition with thai
statement Is up before the general su
|perintendent OF this service for re
moyal for lying. Tell your fellow
clerks that. l DO not think any Of
you gentlemen In indianapolis have
signed that petition, but whoever
signs II Ii going TO come up befors
the general superintendent for re
moval. have the power and the au
thority and the inclination and ths
decision to remove that man from tn,
!, service"
The petition in question. was q,
follows:
ITO the Members OF the United
States Senate in Congress assembled
We, the undersigned, members Of tn,
railway mail service, desire to cal
your attention and ask your supper

the extra work involved In getting
this data for the records OF the post
once department. we do object 70
having IL used TO our own disadvant-
age. That II Is going to be so used
10 evident from the fact that we are
charged with demerit marks II We
do not show certain speed. In our
service the amount of work TO be
done on any trip Ii influenced by 30
many and such varying conditions
that no fixed standard amount OF
work can avoid working hardships on
the clerks and TO the detriment Of
the service. Senator Borah's bill, II
passed, will make II impossible for
the department to establish such Z
standard. We assure you that the
passing OF this law viii lesson the
feeling OF uneasiness and discomfort
In our branch OF the government ser
vice"
A bill similar In all respects 20 the
Borah bill was recently reported from
David J. Lewis committee on labor
In the house by Rep. Heating, OF Col
orado.
AS result OF the threat issued by
Mr.. Stephens, Senator Borah said to
shO bChotc. W not assume, Oh
course, that the postmaster-g general
has authorized Mr. Stephens to make
any such statement, but I am won
dering where Mr.. Stephens got au-
thority to say that he has the power
and the authority and the inclination
and the decision to remove the man
from the service for the mere fact
OF signing respectfully written pc
ton concerning q measure In which
the particular individual signing the
petition might be himself interested.
II would be IL violation Of the civil
service law, In defiance OF both the
letter and spirit. and he would not
assume to have any such authority,
II would seem, unless he had been
authorized by those above him who
would protect him. Mr.. Stephens
language can have no other construc-
ton than that the postmaster-general
will connive at and aid In violating
the civil service law and In furnishing
employees for the exercise OF q most
fundamental right OF citizenship.
do not know that that Ia true, but
either Mr.. Stephens should explain
his language and disavow this state
lment, or the inference must follow
that the postmastergeneral has y au-
thorized him to make such state.

Senator Borah is waiting to- hear
from the postmaster-general before
proceeding further In the case.
