ENGINEERS ACCEPT

PLAN

FOR WOMEN WAR WORKERS

By IAN MACKAY

MORECAMBE.

ALL obstacles to the employment of women in men's jobs in the war workshops were removed when the National Committee of the Amalgamated Engineering Union decided,-with-only one dissentient, to accept the agreement entered into "by their leaders with the engineering employers in London recently,

While there was considerable anxiety expressed about what would happen after the war, the conference was reassured by the president, Jack Tanner, who said that the agreement was satisfactory not only to the A.E.U. but to the other unions con- cerned.

He stated that Mr. Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour, gave a pledge to the conference of unions in London that he will do everything in his power to en- sure that the status quo will be, restored after the war,

Mr. J. Twaddle (Blyth), at this point, recalled that Mr. Lloyd George | gave a similar assurance during the Last war, but that conditions of engineers when hostilities ended were deplorable.

After a detailed report of the long negotiations which led up to the agreement Mr. Tonner said that, con- sidering the present position, the agreement was quite satisfactory.

Adequate Safeguards

"The position of our members,” he said, “is adequately safeguarded, and; we have no fear that after the emer- gency we shall have no difficulty In returning those men to those jobs which will be taken over by women during the war period."

It is thus hoped to remedy the situation within a few daya,

Mr. Tanner went further than that, and said that under the agreement all sultable

"It is

is not likely," he stated, "that a large number et

ef women will be put on to skilled work, as they will not bave the necessary training."

Answering a delegate who suggest- ed that the employers could drive a coach and horses through the agree- ment, Mr. Tanner retorted: "If our district committees. do their work properly the employers will need a tank to drive through it."

Japan is still the largest exporter of potatoes to Other suppliers are Java, China, Burma, Australia, Egypt and Pale- stine,

About 1,200 tons of pola- toes are consumed in Malaya every month.

The price of potatoes has increased during the past few days, and in some dis-

tricts potatoes have not been obtainable,
