The case is attracting much interest because of
It's obvious bearings on interstate commerce in gen

10 other states presumably it also restrict the
shipment of any other product If such an embargo
is constitutional we might have any state. in
emergency hottling up its entire supply Of any ma

Thus we might have Pennsylvania keeping all its

THE HOME-MAKER'S GUILD.

New light is shed the servant problem 10y the
Eou1e-maker's guild of New York
The patroness joins the guild for so much year
which is simply her membership fee When she is
in need Of any kind OF house service, from
window washer to ladys maid. cook TO an expert
nurse for her children she telephones the head of
the guild explains her needs and a capable person
s. her
The organization differs from the ordinary en-
ployment agency in that the maid is also member
Of the euiId her being 81 year. and to the
guild she goes for her pay. The employer has no
money dealings with the servant but sends a check
20 the manager OF the guild.
This Of course helps TO stabilize wages. and is
a good thng.
The whole concern is run on businessliSe basis
and the woman who has asked for a maid for
tain service can not keep her after the time stpu-
lated and get extra hours work out of her When
the maids time is up she leaves unless the en-
ployer telephones and explains the necessity for
OBTAINING her II maid is not scheduled for an
other job she may stay but of course this means an
addition the bill.
The scheme is working satisfactorily. and com
plants are few from either side
