Pittsburgh Domestics
May Organize

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-(ANP) =
AS result of poor working condi-
tions, insufficient salary, long
hours and uncertainty of employ
ment, it is being generally rumor-
ed here that Pittsburgh's domes-
tics, including cooks, nurses, maids,
laundresses and housekeepers, were
seriously considering formation of
league or domestic union, hav-
ing as its objective, striking for
shorter hours and better pay and
remedying the other evils COM
planned Of A survey, conducted
recently by VIM. E. Hill, industrial
SECRETARY Pittsburgh Urban League,
among this city's $500 colored do
mestics, revealed that: Domestic
service is in a chaotic slough of
bad pay, long hours, inefficient
and haphazard working condi-
tions.".
Among the other complaints re-
gistered by the disgruntled work
ers: Employers require them to
sleep in odd parts of the house,
such as the dining room or hall
way, compel them to battle in the
basement, eat cheaper food than
that served at the table, deny them
cream, eggs or ham, often discharge
them without notice and lay them
off, without pay, for the summer"
Many of the employers of domes-
tics here, according to reports, take
a naughty, disdainful attitude in
the matter, considering it purely
impersonal. Colored residents
wonder what the employers atti-
tude will be If the domestic work.

Bahamas, the Russell Brothers,

standing contenders in the male
division are Hubert Eaton, the
former junior champion, who put
Harmon Fitch, last years runner
up, out of the Southeasterns a
week ago. To be sure Fitch is still
good bet. With another year of
competition and experience, Lloyd
Scott of Texas should again make

Dick Hudlin, Walter Mitchell and
Charles Hunter are quartet
from this section who are liable
