MEN COMPLAIN ABOUT-

The trade unions and the Minis- try of Labour have no more dif ficult problem to deal with than the invasion of the labour market by women writes A.AB. in the London Evening Standard. What A fuss the trade unions made duz. ing the war about what they called the dilution of labour by the employment of casual and untrain- | ed hands; but in the stress of war it was perforce arranged.
Ten years after the war the dif- ficulty has increased, though un- fortunately until the next census we have no precise and authofi- tative figures. The Board of Trade Journal, September 20, 1929, p. iv., says: The proportion of males to females recorded as 'engaged in the industries to which the census applied was, it will be seen, rough- ly 3 to 1 both in 1907 and in 1924, the proportion of females being more precisely 24.3 per cent, in 1907 and 24.8 per cent in 1924, The figures indicate that over the entire range of industries covered no significant displacement of males

Domestic "Class War." Up to the end of the last century the English, in their quiet homely way, secured leisure and privacy by a good humoured relationship: between master.and servant. Now all that has gone and domestic life is merely another phase of the class war. It seems to me unreasonable for men to complain of the preseDES of women in the market place when they will neither marry them nor, if they do provide them with a home, see to it that their servants are industrious and obedient.
