(Rec. November C, 5.5 p.m.)
London, November 4-. • The "Daily Mail" says that the industrial sex war, long threatened, is taking definite form. Nearly fifteen thousand exofficers and many thousand ex-privates are unemployed, whilst women refuse to leave their jobs. The Male Clerks' Union is emphatic that women should not be allowed to work, but should get married. The women's reply is: "Many of us have lost our fiances and husbands. Anyhow, there are more girls now than men." . The Women Clerks' Association proposes as a solution the equalising of wages, declaring that most of the trouble, is due to paying women less wages than men. Meanwhile thousands of women are being discharged. Tho hotels are "sacking" every waitress. The inflated Government Departments are more merciful, and nro still employing 155.000 women, as compared with 45,000 before the war.—United Service.
