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.
