BETTER PAY FOR WOMEN
AGITATION IN BRITAIN LONDON, July 22.

Mr. Ernest Bevin, the union’s general secretary, said the campaign will apply to women in, many industries which the union covers. The union has been largely influenced in its decision by the enormous increase in tire rate of output by women, under modern mechanical conditions. Ti holds that wages paid to women, in many callings now bear no proper relation to the value of whit they produce.
