WOMEN IN INDUSTRY HELD INDISPENSABLE Iabor Bureau Finds Increasing Public Interest in Fairer Sex Industrially Employed.

She spoke on [ ward modern day conditions and traceable to the constantly increasing ‘woren but \;eatlnum‘ that fnany women are not transients in Industrial work, the Women’s Bu- reau peints out. A great number of ‘women are as permapent in industry as men, the report said. Bome of the ‘women never marry, and of those who do many are farced to continue in, or later return to, industry to sup- plement the family income. v > The public is gradually coming to realise, also, the report’ goes on to say, that not only i it important to consider the problems of women be- cause they are producers of economic goods, but it important to safe. guard them In the interest of the race, since as mothers or potential mothers they are producers of future citizens, If industrial forces are per- mitted to draw too heavily upon the time and energies of woman employes, then ustry becomes a menace not only to them as indlviduals but to their children.

The speaker attributed *he present day agitation regarding the -alleged disintergration of the home to a senti- mentality which prompts people to be- lleve the home conditions should not change. She added thet the home still ‘carries with it the “home spirit” and “home sense” which make it much the same:today as it was in generations past, only under differ- ent conditions. This spirit, she said, will enable the foundation to accom- plish the erection of.the memorial.
