WOMEN OUT OF WORK.
THE POSITION IN BRITAIN. NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 7, 7.35 p.m. London, March 6. A conference of unemployed women, under the auspices of the Trades Union Congress, resolved in favor of greater Government assistance. Speakers declared that it was impossible for single girls to live on twelve shillings weekly, which is the unemployment allowance. A member of the Actresses’ Association declared that 4000 out of 6000 members of the association were workless and had no prospect of getting work. Another resolution protested against attempts to utilise the industrial depression to force women into domestic service, regardless of their suitability. The mover said domestics were treated like slaves.— Reuter Service.
