CALL ON WOMEN
FOR WAR WORK IN BRITAIN POSITION OF DOMESTIC SERVANTS. MINISTRY TO QUESTION EMPLOYERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, August 12. The Labour Ministry will “purge” servants from big houses throughout Britain, says the “Mirror.” When young servants register, the Ministry will write to employers, asking for reasons why girls should remain in domestic employment. The Ministry has decided that no healthy woman is too old at sixty to do a job which would release a young girl for war work. The “Daily Mail” says that because labour is becoming scarce, London women are being taken from non-es-sential industries and put into urgent war work. A pool of older women willing to work part time is being formed.
