CONCERNING COOKS. =JOMEN in M wn have. organ- : eepers’ Protective, Union. : They say that they have to pay: waitresses twice as. high’ wages as seven or ‘eight years; ago, that cooks demand $10 3 month more pay and will not do | the laundry work, that the Cooks: and maids comé and. go so fre-’ quently that the housekeepers are) under a constant nervous strain, | and that the effort to continue) their present way of tiving—is; Ginancially and nervously breaking them down, . Their remedy is to reduce wages. : z ‘The difficulty with this is that it is next to impossible to secure com- petent cooks at present wages, and if the wages were lowered the cooks “would avoid Morristown and leave the members of the Morristown Housekeepers’ Protective Union cookless. $ Housekeepers have brought the entanglements of the servant prob- Jem upon themselves. The only way to untangle is to go back to first principles and get along without servants. They have raised wages by paying higher wages. They have relieved cooks from doing the laundry 4work by creating social distinctions between ‘cook and laundress’’ and “experienced cook, no washing.” There is little or no servant problém in the big hotels or the clubs or the large estates where stewards, housekeepers and managers are em- ~ ployed. In these places the cooking, the waiting, the chamberwork and the laundry are handled in a similar system and with a like organization to the manufacture of boots and shoes or the making of pies, cake and bread-in-a-bakery-or-the washing of-clothes in_an outside laundry. The _ labor difficulties in these establishments do not differ from the labor adjustments in any other manufacturing entesprise. x The Morristown women evidently do not regard housekeeping as a business, but as a sociat condition. They expect from the cook a social attitude and social relations apart,from her work. They demand of the chambermaid and waitress that she shall form part of their social struc- ture. For all of which they have to pay in increased wages work badly done and a lack of easy workings of organized business. There are certain things about a house that have to"be done every day. Beds have to be made and the table set for the regular meals. But there is no occasion for cook- ing three meals a day. The use of modern inventions and appliances Teadily permits all the day's cook- ing to be done at one time, or every other day, or twice a week, for that matter. Simplifying attire and the disuse 0f_.so..many starched: dresses and i other starched clothing, especially during the summer season, would per mit all the week’s wash to be done complete by the use of inexpensive machinery in a few hours.
