Brazil Police
Regulate Servants

Rio de Janclro, Brazil. Sept. TIA.
II. by MIiN-Thc servant question
in Rio. which has been driving the
housewives of this city to distrac-
ton for years and years. finally be-
came so acute that it was taken up,
studied and solved" by the Federal
government.
The solution to this tormcnting
problem took the form of Decree No.
l6,101. which delegates to tie police
the triilinG matter Of carrying the de-
tails into effect.
Before the decree was enacted,
however, the servant question out
stripped all competitors. even the
high cost of living, in bringing worry
into the average home. Servants
came and servants went, but the
question went on forever. Not only
was it impossible to count on the
presence OF any servant from one
minute to the next, but hundreds of
! homes found that their inGratiatine
new cmploye of the day before was
! in reality an experienced and clever
thief. one of the routine tasks Of
! the police was tracing thIcvIng SER
! wants.
! on the other hand the servants
| complained that employers expected
/ too much of them in time and KIND
/ of work. and that they were given no
! guarantees as TO beautiful working
! conditions and moral considerations.
! For these and other reasons decree
| 1G,107 provides that all servants must
! possess cards of identified ton from
| the police. No servant can enter
| into employment without notifying
| the police and registering the terms
Of the agreement with the employers.
nor can anyone employ a servant
! without registering the act with the
! police. The decree applies to dom
, este service of all kinds; cooks,
! buffers, maids, laundry girls, garden
/ Crs, nurse girls. seamstresscs. wait
cls in hotels and restaurants. bar
tenders. janitors, and even Office
boys.
Whether servants or employers
will be any better by effect Of the
decree, no one ventures to predict
but it is expected that the avcrag"
time Of "A job viii be longer than il
has been. and that the servant dis
@uise will 50 out of fashion among
thieves.
