Why He Wants Bonus

70 IN. Editor Of rho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Just q few words to George
Morrison. I see a letter in tonight's
Forum from him regarding the bonus
question. According to Mr.. Morrison,
4 man who wants the bonus or who will
accept IL is not patriotic or does not
Now, lust a minute. &c. NJ" I
served more months in France than you
did in the service. and want the bonus.
and more than that. ! consider myself
gust as patriotic "a you are.
You say you enlisted and were not
drafted. Neither was I. ! enlisted In
the Marine Corps before ! was old
enough to register.
And as to the Revolutionary War ard
the War of 1912, most Of the men
who served IN them got bonus. Not q
cash bonus. but land, which was bet
ter than money.
But today we do. not have vacant
land enough for half the ex service men,
even If each man was given only q few
acres. So, of course, most Of us will
take money or training or paid-up in
Surancc.
l never thought Of the bonus when
] enlisted. other. suppose you think
most Of US went in just SO we could
rOuge the Government for q bonus. But
not so.
The reason we want bonus Is SIM
ply this: During the war the men who
stayed at home got big wages (and
bonuses, tool. while we boys who had
the hardest cnd Of it, got the least pay.
Tho bows who stayed home got big
wages and had short hours. while we
got 81 for twenty-four hours, aud
many times have put IN the full
twenty. four hours and more, too, with
out rest or more than two meals.
So &c. NJ" just keep quiet. II you
don't want the bonus no one will force

THE PEOPLES FORUM
Who Is to Blame: Mistress or Maid?

are people keeping help that should have
to. do their own work. for they don't
treat their maids with as much consid.
Grafton as they do their dogs. Some
really think the maid Is only a piece
OF machinery. and never gets tired.
Some places you have a comfortable
room and get good food and some you
do not. I don't think an inexperienced
maid should expect as much wages as an
experienced maid. And believe in Il
maid trying to give perfect satisfac-
ton. The madam should show more
consideration. / work where there are
ak In the family, with company all the
time. And ] can truthfully say don't
have time to mend my clothes.
The lady who said she discharged her
maid because she came in at o'clock
surely did MT stop to think. She can
get up from dinner table and 20 where
she wants to, but the maid must clean
up and then get herself ready to 80 out.
There are very few maids who can
get out before o o'clock. and. as a rule,
they have a long distance to 60 and
come.
There should be something done to
shorten the maids hours. 1t IL the law
OF Pennsylvania that a woman should
not work over eight hours a day with
one whole day of every week. aver
age fifteen hours every day, seven days
a week. Part Of day of every other
week. There is no work where. the
hours are as long as the servant girls.
And I am very sure that the majority
of the working girls do not want social
equality. All they ask is fair treat
There are lots Of maids who have
more principle than their mistresses.
The mistresses have the wrong idea
in that respect. Because a maid thinks
enough Of herself to hold herself up is
no sign she wants social equality. !
