EQUAL PAY MOAT CRITICISED
Women “ Casual Workers ” (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, April 28. “The women’s staff room has become the waiting room for the bridal chamber and the anteroom for the maternity home,” said Mr H. J. Weaver, head master of the Skerton Modern Boys’ School, Lancaster, attacking women teachers at a conference in Edinburgh on equal pay. Mr Weaver is married to a former teacher. “If it is fair and just that a married man should keep his wife and children on the same pay as that of a single woman, then I am your Aunt Fanny or Bonnie Prince Charlie,” he added. “Since the war women have become casual workers. They drift through staff rooms at amazing speed. “t am married to a school mistress and I have every respect for what they do, but my point is that the employment of women is different from the employment of men.”
