AN UNUSUAL MARRIAGE.
The marriage of Miss Ella Clemmons,
sister of Mrs. Howard Gould, to Sun
Yue, a Chinaman of San Francisco, has
Just been announced.
The couple were married according
to Chinese rites, p* the California law
provides the marriage of whites and
Chinese. For several years the bride
has been Interested In settlement work
among the Chinese at San Francisco,
and her recent wedding Is the romantic
outcome of this work.
She Is erratic to a degree, but u
woman of philanthropic Impulses. For
some years before the great lire Ella
Clemmons, who is a daughter of the
late United - States Judge ciemmens.
lived in the Chinese quarters. She
was known as the “Angel of China
town,” and sold newspapers on the
streets ns a means of livelihood. She
became very fond of her little oriental
Now tbat peace and quiet have sup
planted recent deplorable disturbances
In Atlanta and, every household has re
sumed the even terior of Its way, the
absorbing servant problem reasserts
Itself and becomes once more the theme
of the housewife. It Is doubtful If any
Issue 1* more generally discussed and
with less profit. Every woman one
knows tells the same story* of the In
efficiency, the unreliability, and the ut
ter worthlessness of the cook and the
house gJrJ, and the discord resultant
from the wretched service rendered by
the negro servant of today Is Uke a
cancer eating at the heart of our do
mestic life.
"But we women are resigned to the
situation, unhappy as It Is," I an
swered a woman recently*, who had Just
assured me that, although a model mis
tress,* she rarely succeeded in getting
a servant who tvpuld remain long
enough .‘‘to even learn the children’s
names.'’ "Resigned?" she groaned, with
a note of protest In her voice which
indicated that she was exceedingly re
bellious. "Resigned? O, how can you
say* that?"
And when I gave It as my humble
opinion that Southern women not only
sanction, but encourage, existing con
ditions so long as they do not strive,
Individually and collectively, to better
them, she looked thoughtful.
"Do you know," she said, "It has
never occurred to me that although
we’ve been complaining for so long a
time, we have never even considered
a remedy?" And then, helplessly, "But
what can we do?’’
And at club meetings, afternoon teas,
over the telephone, one hears the same
story with the constant refrain, "What
can we do?*’
What Can We Do?
The situation briefly summed Is this:
The white women of the South are en
tirely dependent upon negro labor In
the home. If separation Is to be the
ultimate solution of the race problem,
the fact remains that now and for some
years to come, we must deal with the
negro servant. While a few wealthy
families may Import Swedes and Gor
mans, negro labor can never be sup
planted by* white nor can the luxury’ of
white servant be enjoyed by the
average family until that gigantic
movement which shall deport the negro
and revolutionize the economic and In
dustrial life of- the entire South has
been successfully* planned and executed.
This fact Is obvious for the reason that
whites and blacks could never be em
ployed together as servants, even If
such emplo.vinent did not create two
distinct standards of living tor the la
borer. and two different wages for the
same labor—an Impossible situation In
dustrially.
So the negro Is here. The cooking,
cleaning, washing and Ironing are also
here to be done, and the adaptability
of the negro for menial work makes
him dependent upon it. It means to
him shelter, food, clothing ami fuel.
Now, we have on the one hand the
white employer. The house environ
ment offered the domestic servant is
comfortable and pleasant; is always
superior to what we may call, for want
of better words, the home surround
ings of the negro; and certainly more
desirable than the factory,' the store,
and some of the offices In which our
white women arc employed year after
y*ear.
The hours of the negro servant are
long. It is true, but domestic work Is
not half so confining as sewing, clerk
ing, clerical and factory work. The
average servant (It Is the purpose of
this article to deal only with average
conditions) has more or less leisure
each day, nnd rarely works under pres- 0
sure of hurry* and confusion.
Ah to wages, most women declare
that these are oven excessive In con
sideration of the service rendered, nnd
In view of (he fact that the negro ser
vant Is almost entirely clothed by gifts
of second-hand clothing from her mis
tress.
Now, on the other hand, w*e have the
negro employee, inefficient, slovenly,
untruthful and totally unreliable. It is
the usual thing for a servant to obtain
a place as cook or house girl, to ren
der miserable service for a week or
two, and then, with no complaint as to
wages, hours or work, to take her leave
without a w*ord of w*arning to her mis
tress. One house girl who was con
slderate enough to announce that she
Intended to “quit” on the following day.
when asked why she was dissatisfied,
replied: "O, I laks hit here well as
anywheres, but I Jes’ gits tired o’ de
same place, an’ changes eve’y once In
er while."
"My dinner Is called off," said a
woman over the telephone recently,
"because my cook Is drunk. But I
have to put up with her, because she
does stay with me when she Is sober.
Like every other woman, I am at the
mercy of my cook."
And she expressed the-'whole truth In
a nutshell. Every woman at the mer
cy of her cook!
Nowhere else In the world do we find
such a continued unsatisfactory rela
tionshlp between employer and
ployee. Nowhere else can an employee,
notorious for Inefficient and slovenly
work, dishonest and Irresponsible, drift
aimlessly from one place of employ
ment to another In the same commu
nity, and always obtain work. In no
case except In that of the white woman
of the South and her negro servant Is
the employee absolutely arbitrary,
working when and where, and with any
degree of efficiency he or she chooses,
and finding work as easily obtainable
by the worthless as by the worthy.
Every woman at the mercy* of her
cook! Every* woman declaring that life
Is Intolerable by her servants or by
the lack of them. Every* woman tol
eratlng and encouraging existing con
dltions by* readily employing the girl
who has drifted across the street after
working a week here and three days
there. And every woman asking help
lessly, "What can we do?"
What We Can Do.
To effect a remedy does not He with
in the power of any one woman, nor
within the pbwer of the woman of any
one community. The only remedy is
concerted action on the part of all
women of all communities. Until
housekeepers organize, by* communi
ties, by wards or In whatsoever man*
ner Is decided upon as most practical,
and by* organization establish a means
of protecting themselves from the ne
gro servant who drifts from one home
to another, they* will continue to be
victimized by* the shlftlessness of the
negro.
The most useful purpose of such an
organization would be to prevent the
employment of the servant who can not
show some legitimate reason for hav
Ing abandoned other positions. I
would require that the honesty* and
efficiency of each employee be investi
gated, as Is done In every other line
of business. When a servant applies
to me for work I should know who has
employed her, why* she held her work
for a week, and then left her mistress
without warning. The organization
would naturally evolve a central bu
reau of Information, which, by keeping
In close touch with the white employer
and the unemployed negro, would be of
Inestimable benefit to both. The negro
would easily recognize that such an
organization, Instead of being unfriend
ly to the colored race, exists for the
protection nnd encouragement of Its
every Industrious member, and for the
promotion of that confidence nnd es
teem without which there can exist no
harmonious relationship between em
ployer and employee.
There Is no way to solve the prob
lem save by* firm and concerted action
on the part of white women. Let them
devise plans for such an organization
as has been suggested, nnd then let
them organize for their own protection
and for the protection of the negro
who Is willing and anxious to earn an
honest wage.
The woman’s page of The Georgian
will do nil within Its power to aid earn
est, thinking women to successfully
solve the problem, and will gladly re
ceive any suggestions dr communica
tions which they may care to give.
