To the "Editor of the "Nonrn-Cuina Dany News."
Sin—In view of the terrible crime committed in our midst last week it behoves our women to get up and settle this matter of compulsory reistration of servants.
As things are now one can seldom got a now servant with a letter of recommendation from his las employer.
Some years ago it was my privily lege to appeal to your (the writer is, all through, addressing the B.W.A. land A.W.C.—Bd,) societies on th half of Chinese factory children and tthe result has to my mind justified the appeal, Now if you take up this matter of registration in the way that you can do, it will soon be an accomplished fact, You women have to work with and be with the servants more than we do and you deserve to be protect-jed_and you can get it.
What control would we have over Chinese chauffeurs if it were not through their licences?) None.
Many of these servants would never get a living at all, and certain-Jy not such a comfortable one, were not for the existence. of the Foreign Settlement, then why shouldn't they be put under proper control?
T am sure your readers must be many in whom this appeal will meet with' a ready response and T trust the matter will receive the immediate it deserves.
