NEW SETTLERS.
EMIGRANTS FROM HOME. MEN FOR AUSTRALIA. TRAINING WOMEN. By Telegraph.—Press Aag&.—Copyright. Received May 9, 8.15 p.m. London, May 8. The steamer Largs Bay to-morrow is taking 600 emigrants, including 100 lads for South Australia, and 37 “Dreadnought’ lads for New South Wales. All are ex-service men, except the lads. Mr. Lawley, speaking at a migration charity organisation society, commended the Empire Settlement Bill. Sir J. D. Connolly endorsed these views, and described Colonel Amery as Britain’s best authority on migration. Dame Muriel Talbot, president of the society for the overseas settlement of British women, explained that a branch of the overseas settlement committee is
working in co-operation with the Ministry of Labor, and since May last had trained 5000 inexperienced and unemployed women and girls for domestic service. She advocated similar training in England for women emigrants to Australia. She regretted the Dominions had not endeavoured to emigrate women and girls equally with men and boys. She complained that the Commonwealth Migration Department was offering absurdly inadequate wages for bush nurses, and she advised them not to accept such terms. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
