WOMEN WAR WORKERS.
IMMIGRATION PROPOSAL. FARMERS' UNION APPROVAL. The standing committee of the Auckland Farmers' Union was waited upon by Misses Watkins and Girdler, envoys from the Imperial Government, who are visiting the Dominion to investigate the prospects and conditions of employment for women war workers who desire to emigrate to New Zealand. The president of the union, Mr. J. Boddie, reported to the executive that the question was fully gone into and all the information possible was laid before the envoys. He thought this was one of the most important matters that had ever come before the executive. The immigrants would be specially selected, and would undoubtedly prove respectable citizens to this young country. Their labor would be invaluable and there lrere many homes that would welcome them as domestics. As soon as the scheme was launched the union would be expected to use its organisation to find situations for these women and to protect and care for them from the time they landed until they entered their new homes. He thought the farmers of New Zealand would be only too pleased to undertake this. '
