George F.; Miller, owner of the two large ware houses, formerly owned by the M. Rumely company, said today that plans are being made to convert one of the warehouses into a commission house. Details have not been worked out, he said, although offers have been made for the building by certain parties whose names will not be divulged.

Miller Sett Price. -

Mr. Miller said that he has placed 1 price on both the warehouses, but that the deal with the Richmond Baking company and other parties for the organization of a separate wholesale grocery company, which will operate i warehouse in connection with enlargement of the bakery; has not been closed. He has been in negotiations with officials of the baking -company for several days, and said that prospects are bright for closing the deal in the near future. It is understood that several other offers have been made for the building which the baking company is contemplating to use in the event the reorganization plan is successful. No option has been taken on the property, Mr. Miller said. Although the building which the baking company is contemplating using is much larger than the building directly east of it, the latter building is amply large enough to accommodate a commission house larger than my of the businesses in Richmond at present. Mr. Miller would not say .h ether any of the local companies are involved in the deal.

SURVEY SHOWS MAIDS RECEIVE TOO LOW WAGE Cooks and maids in ' the homes of Richmond are underpaid, have inadequate hours for social life and are not given the opportunity of promotion and Increased wages with increased efficiency, according to the report of the survey committee relative to Household and Institutional Service. The following recommendations are made by the survey committee relative to the household and institutional service: The Survey Committee earnestly calls the attention of employing wom

en, and employed women to this report, with the hope that these prob

lems may be squarely met and solved. When employers and employed reach

Just decisions regarding standardization of work, wages and hours of labor, and the training required of

workers for entrance, efficiency and

promotion, the Richmond schools will

be justified In providing the necessary

day courses for those who wish to enter work, and continuation courses for those already in the work. Dr. R. J. Leonard, head of the survey, said today that he expects that the citizens of Richmond, generally will not accept the report of the survey committee favorably - but that it represents the true situation. "It is impossible to estimate accurately the number of domestic servants employed in the homes of Richmond," reads the report. "Questionaires were sent out through the school children and shows that there are 60 people employed in the families represented by pupils in the public schools. Estimating two thirds of the Richmond families send children to school, there are 90 so employed in the city. There are 3S0 women who work by the day as washerwomen and housecleaners by the day." Fourteen of the 24 maids reporting who are employed in private families, are colored.

PROTECT VEGETABLES

Planis are being made by the special baby welfare committee of the Social Service bureau to begin the work as soon as the schools close.

Plans that have proven successful in other cities will be adapted to local conditions and used here, said Miss Mahin.

The question of whether the children attending the city publio schools will have a half day holiday on Memorial Day will be a question the school board will have to pass upon. Under a ruling of the state board of account teachers in the public schools would receive no pay if the schools were closed on -Memorial Day. Member; of the G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans and other patriotic organizations are asking that the school be dismissed on Memorial Day, as was the custom in former year. Miss Sarah Hill, a member of the school board would be willing to provide at least a half holiday on that occasion If arrangements can be made whereby the teachers will not lose pay for services.

Miss Hill said that when a two days vacation was ordered last Thanksgiving arrangements had to be made to curtail the length of the Christmas holiday vacation a corresponding length of time.
