UNION FOR SERVANTS
TEN-HOUR DAY Chicago housewives, . particularly those employing manservants. are alarmed over a new complication of the already grave servant problem by the organisation of a Housemaids’ and Butlers’ Union. That body has received a charter from the American Federation of Labour. It charges £5 entrance fee, but has begun to grow rapidly as a result of its promise “to get better wages and working hours for housemaids and butlers.” Its officers say: “The hours has been fixed as a day’s work, but the minimum wage question and the problem of days off are yet to be decided.”
