When the order Tor attack was
given the American troops moved
forward unhesitatingIy along the

is due to the plans drawn up be-

of the resistance on either wing.
The advance was carried out in

HOTEL MAIDS SEEK PROTECTION

Organizer for Seattle Central Labor Council.

rooms are occupied by women who
expects the maids to take care of
their numerous personal knickknacks
and tea things.
The average wages paid to the
maids is from $40 week for a week
of seven days, to S45 month of
thirty and thirty-one days. This does
not include their room rent, which
they must must pay for out of their
earnings and at the same rate as
the guests of the hotel. AS rent is
very high here, so high in fact that
the cheapest of hall bedrooms are
from SO to s. a week, when taken
very much to buy clothing and food
for themselves, much less for those
dependents they have sometimes to
take care of. Some of these women
have children to support and they try
to piece out their meager wages by
doing janitor work in the large office
buildings after their days work should
have been over. They work in these
buildings from to IL o'clock. Some
of them are also working on night
shifts in some of the new factories
that are engaged in war industries.
One little woman came to me and
said, Mrs. Levi, can you tell me what
to do? My son has enlisted to fight
for his country. / am a widow and
have mortgage on my home. / am
doing chamber work, working seven
days a week, and / scrub, and / clean,
and | work to the end of my endu-
rance. | never have a days rest, and
am on constant jump from morning
till night, and all l am receiving is
$40 a week. Now, / would like to
send my son little comforts at the
front, but / am barely able to keep
myself. But of one thing / assure
you-I don't let him know of the
struggles that 1 have to undergo, as
feel that | must make my share of
the big sacrifice. But / don't under
stand why my employer does not do
his share. He has increased the rents
in his hotel 60 per cent since the war
started, but the maids have received
no increase in the last three years.
Can you tell me how we women can
remedy this condition."
l told her that the surest and best
way was for her to join the Hotel
Maids Union, which was in the pro-
cess of formation at that time. She
did so, and has become one of the
most enthusiastic workers in the or
ganiZation.
Another woman who had been a
hotel maid, but who is married now,
her husband working in the shipyards,

could be done for the hotel maids and
that she would be willing to help in
any way she could. She was in earn
