This is the second Of series Of articles

icn' IN tohtch the facts Of the problem,
together Utth its causes, are discussed.
THERE are three prime factors that
make the servant girl problem acute to-
day in Philadelphia and virtually the entire
country They are:
| The stoppage Of immigration due to
the war.
. The unwillingness Of the majority of
American girls to enter service
. The inflated prosperity of certain indus.
tries due to the war.
That these factors. which are more or
less corollary, are responsible for the diff
Guilty encountered by homemakers in OBJ
tanning domestic employees is the view held
by officials of the Pennsylvania Department
of Labor and Industry and by propr.eto
af employment agencies throughout the city.

+. that has developed within the last year was
a consequence of the war, is without paral-
lei in the history of the help" problem

other countries that have emigration fig

domestic workers-coolls, laundresses cham

workers. Fresh arrivals from Europe aug

tirement from service. thus keeping the
number Of domestics intact.
With the outbreak of the war the fresh
supply was checked and then ceased Inn
migration into Philadelphia has ended COM
pletely, il was said at the United States
Bureau OF Immigration
The encroachments on the supply on hand
continued as help married and set up
homes of their own entered some other
form of employment more lucrative and
otherwise more satisfactory. The demand
increased proportionately until today it is
estimated that only one-tenth of the APP
plications for servants are filled.
The effect Of this condition was not felt
sharply until about year ago, after a
year of war and nonimmigTation, accord
ing to James ]. Moran. State inspector of
private employment agencies. Since then,
Inspector Moran said, the condition has
grown gradually worse as the demand roi
help grew.
''The war and the end of immigration
are directly responsible for the shortage in
domestics," he said. THE other causes
spring from that AS the supply becomes
scarcer and scarcer the other causes be-
come more apparent"
HOME GIRLS RELUCTANT
Failure Of the American supply of
domestics TO meet requirements stood out
prominently as another cause for the short
age, Mr.. Moran added.
American girls are unwilling to take
the place Of the servants excluded from
this country by the war" he continued.
They have kind of pride that comes
from living in a democratic country like
this.
And another important point is that
American housekeepers do not want Ameri-
can servant girls. They prefer a European
| girl, who is more obedient and makes a
more willing and better all-around servant.
American domestics, as housewives know.
| are inclined to be 'uppish.' They have a

there are exceptions. But l am speaking
OF general types"
Prosperity, coming neck-and-neck with
the slump in the domestic market added
to the force Of the slump, according to Mr.
Moran and TO figures at the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industry's Free Employ
ment Bureau
servants in greater numbers are leaving
their work to get married or to get other
positions" said Mr.. Moran. Marriages are
more frequent because the men can afford
to marry. They are making more money
than they ever did before"
HIGH WAGE LURE
The lure of high wages at munitions
| plants has not only made It possible for
men TO provide homes for wives from the
| domestic classes, but also has directly
| drawn workers from those classes. accord
| ing TO G. H. Hopkinson, acting superin-
| tendent of the Philadelphia branch bureau
| of employment of the State Department
| of Labor and Industry.
Women in numbers that run into the
| hundreds are working and getting good
| money in munitions factories As a result
| those who apply at the bureau for posi-
tions in homes demand from Sc to $12 a
| week. together with room and board, where
| the maximum remuneration for a general
| houseworker formerly was SIS n week. In
| the case of a $12-a-week domestic her
| wages, added to her meals and lodging
would total approximately $40 a week
| which compares most favorably with the
| income of factory worker. Few domes.
| tics receive as much as s12 a week, II
| might be added.
The responsibility OF servants, together
with the check in immigration, was blamed
