DOMESTIC SERVANTS.
(Per Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, this day. Mr T. Sedgwick, who has played a prominent part m the question of importing English boy labor, suggested lit tho conference of the A. and P. Association that an easy solution of the doniestie servant ''problem 1 would bo ,to import large parties of girls from Home, and apprentice" th6m to New* Zealand mistresses. Hundreds of good" girls would be willing to come under such conditions. In tno orphanages and poor law schools' there were* 40,000 girls, Avell trained and well behaved, who Mould be glad to accept apprenticeship if brought out to this country. This could be done through tho New Zealand Labor Department and tho High Commissioner's office, and a shipment brought out, preferably on a cargo boat, fitted with dormitories, where <tho girls would be under supervision, and compelled to attend largely to their own requirements.
