Fair Code Needed by Servants Capable Young Women Would Be Attracted by Jobs in Homes. BY GRLTTA PALMER limM Special Writer NEW YORK. June 25 Haven’t we college graduates of the last twenty or twenty-five years, perhaps, had our minds so much on higher thing's bent our j energies so much in the direc- J tion of opening vocations to women other than housework, that we have i develped a sort of contempt for the lowly things of the domestic life?”
The question i is asked by Mrs. j Eva von B : Hansl in an ar- j tide in the current Forum on} “Do Servants! Need a Code?” And it is a good one. The work pe rs o r me and by the servant is quite as important as the work | pe r formed by the factory girl, and it calls, per- j haps, for greater j qualities of co- j operation. Ye t |

Miss Palmer
we too often look down on it. The factory girl has a schedule of working hours on which she can depend. She knows that she can punch the time clock on Saturday afternoon and forget her job until Monday morning. And she knows that if in some emergency she is as* ' o work overtime she will get paid extra for it—at a higher wage scale. Does a domestic servant have any such orderly arrangement with the woman who employs her? Not one tir.i** in a hundred. She—who needs the help of the social planners more, perhaps, than any other group except trained nurses—has even been excluded from the provisions of the NRA. A chef in a hotel may belong to a union and receive the benefits of group bargaining. His prestige is recognized by those who work side by side with him and by his employer as well. Treated Like Serf A cook working in a private home and doing the same job as he is often treated like a medieval serf. And she has no recourse except to leave and join the ranks of the unemployed. Many women are extremely considerate of their servants and treat them more kindly than they would be required to do under any code. But some are not. And it is these tryants who have created a situation in which a girl would rather turn to almot any other form of work than join the servant class. The servant, mind you. has responsibilities beyond those of many better-paid workers. The health of the family is largely dependent on her efforts. Slovenliness in keeping the rooms in order may make the home a place where its owners dread to come. Bad cooking may make them ill. And her contacts with the children of the household, if she is an inferior type, may give them phobias and quirks that they will not escape throughout the progress of their grownup life. Code Would Help Wives The work done by the servant in the small home is the same work as that accomplished by the maidless wife. No one looks down upon the latter because her days are dedicated to dusting and to beating up a cake. Is there any reason why the paid servant should not enjoy a comparable esteem? Women are sometimes inclined to speak with despair of “the servant problem.” By this they mean the difficulty of obtaining competent and cheerful help. But if they were willing to submit to a code of fair practice, such as prevails in industry, and to guarantee human liberties to the girls in their employe would the field of housework be regarded by most women as a last resort? There are many intelligent and domestically inclined young women out of work today who would gladly accept the servants' role if they were not scared half out of their wits by stories of a twenty-hour day and a mistress with a fondness for persecution. A servants’ code might treasure them and bring them back into the fold. GARMENT SHOW Eh’ TO RE HELD “New garment shower” will be held at 2 tomorrow in the American National bank clubrooms as the c’ lg meeting of the Riley Hospital Cheer Guild. Each member will bring one new garment to be placed in reserve for patients upon their release from the hospital. New members are invited to attend the meeting.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Equality of Work Rights to Be Topic World Sessions of Two Women’s Groups to Be Held Abroad. Right of women to work at gainful occupations on equal terms with men will be defended by delegates at two international meetings of women’s organizations in Europe this week and early in July. The board of directors of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women, convening from today through Friday, will maintain womens rights, and members of the International Council of Women, meeting July 1 to 12 at Paris, likewise will take their stand in favor of women working. Sailing last week, Miss Lena Madesin Phillips of New York, president of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women and the National Council of Women, will represent the United States at both meetings. She will preside at the board of directors meeting in Geneva, and will be one of the speakers at a mass meeting under council auspices in the Sorbonne amphitheater in Paris, July 5, which will take the form of a joint demonstration of women in defense of their right to work. Several large international organizations of women will participate and a resolution will be submitted asserting that women have an equal right to employment and condemning all attempts to deprive them of that right. The tendency to discriminate against married women in both state and private employment during a period of economic crisis will be one of the most important topics discussed at Geneva and reports will be presented from twenty-one countries. The directors also will discuss the convention prohibiting night work for women which was adopted at the international labor conference in 1919, in Washington, and is on the agenda of the conference meeting in Geneva for possible revision. A recent decision of The Hague court has held that the convention in its present form prohibits night employment for executive and professional women as well as for those engaged in manual labor, and the federation is working to obtain exemption of the professional group from its provisions. Mrs. Michael Cain, formerly Miss Marietta McGinley, will entertain members of Alpha chapter, Pi Omega sorority, at her home Wednesday with a buffet supper. MOTION PICTURES
