Forsake Private Homes.
Due to Servant Shortage
Many Persons Seeking Apart.
ments of Hotel Type Where
Such Help Il Furnished

The servant shortage is causing MANY
to give up private dwelling and apart
ment life for houses of the residential
apartment hotel type where such help
is furnished. In commenting on the
subject S. W. Straus declared yester-
day that the problem has developed a
demand for living quarters where such
help can be obtained.
AS result of the shortage of ser
want labor" he said, "higher rentals
and the increasing cost of all house
hold supplies, distinctively new ten
dency has developed in the building in
dustry which is manifested in an I'M
precedentcd demand for large apart
ment houses of the residential hotel
type. Modern ingenuity has created
this form Of construction, to the end
that many Of the Objectionable features
and lnconveniences of the individual
home are eliminated.
The servant problem has been a
vexatious one for some time, and is
likely to become more acute with re-
oCi i>eCi 14iitl alum anu u NlRner scale
Of wages IN other lines Of activity. The
newly developed type of apartment
hotel furnishes maid service and meals.
SO that in the family there is saved the
inconvenience and expense of market
ing, preparing meals and maintaining a
kitchen. AS the supply of household
servant becomes more scarce and the
density of population in our great
cities increases there will be a con-
tinued strong tendency toward the con-
struction of apartment houses and fam
lily hotels.
"In the principal American cities to-
day many of the most important build
ing projects are hotels Of either tran
sient or apartment type. In the va
rious complexities of modern life it is
becoming more necessary for people to
travel, and people also are travelling
more a. a means of education and d.
version. These conditions are reflected
in a demand for better and more com
modious hotel Accommodate which
tendencies will continue with the de-
velopment Of better transportation IA

there Is none other like unto it.
1t IS the spirit of all these excessive
demands for compensation that is all
wrong, and labor is TO blame for most
OF 1t. At a time when the whole

Vraordlnary exertion, forbearance and
helpfulness, there is an element in it's
ranks that not only refuses to work
for fair wage, but refuses also to do
d fair days work for any wage.

say to such as these that the inevi-
