ARKANSAS NATURAL GAS ca
LONG HOURS AND THE HELP

When the inquiring reporter asked
men why they had left the farm they
replied that for years as hands they
had no consideration from the farmer
and that they refused to stand the
conditions.
Domestic servants frequently give
hold service Long hours of duty were
added to a dependence in living con
ditions which were distasteful. The
servant lived as an ill-considered ward
of the household The farm hand re-
gar,led himself as an unfortunate APP
pendage to IA farmers household and
employers accepted things as God
made conditions which were natural
to certain estate.
The natural human ambition is to
seek as great Il degree of individual
independence as possible. If it can
not be independence ON the job, il can
be independence in domesticity. The
person who gets his keep as Il part OF
his hire will he striving for II better
ment which will put him more on his
own.
Probably neither hours nor social
conditions can be changed for hands
on II farm and possibly not for serv-
ants in household. The instinct fol
home will be defeated by such Scrv-
ice and the people in it will try To
throw off the restriction and gain in
dependence.
That points more and more to homes
independent of servants and farms i'll
dependent of hands, which means that
machinery must take the place of hui
man hands in house and farms must
be cut to the size the owner can work

would be denied control, Panken of
New York with great splurge of ora
