A MOVEMENT has been started in Atlanta looking to the importation of one hundred German girls as domestics. The idea is to bring the girls from Chicago, if they can be secured there, and the understanding is that every effort is to be made to see that they are satisfied. Atlanta is in the same boat with other southern cities in that it is finding that the negro help is no longer reliable. The negroes have an exaggerated idea of their importance, and show no disposition to try to be of real service to their employers.
