| Dear Sir, |
|
EMPLOYMENT OF MARRIED WOMEN.
|
| During a discussion at the last meeting
of my General Committee, in connection with the unemployment question,
it was alleged by one or two of the delegates that the Liquor Control
Board were continuing to employ married women whose husbands were
in receipt of a living wage, and I was requested to bring the matter
to your notice. My Committee feel that, at a time like the present
when there are such large numbers of men and women unable to obtain
a livelihood, an effort should be made to do everything possible to
absorb those who are now practically destitute as a result of the
government decision to withdraw the Out of Work Donation. |
| Perhaps you will kindly bring the
matter before your Advisory Committee and kindly let me hear from
you in course. |
| Yours
faithfully, |

Thos. F. Thompson |
| Hon.
Secretary. |
Sir E. Saunders,
Liquor Control Board,
Castle Street,
