WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT.
j A SOLDIER'S MOTHER'S VIEWS. ( The suggestion that women should be | entitled to stand as candidates for scats tin Parliament, and that there should be no distinction between the rates of pay ,! for men and those for women—that .there should be equal pay for equal I work was upheld by Mrs. Nieol, secretary of the Soldiers' Mothers* Lea<me, 'for certain reasons. She was against women entering Parliament, but nevertheless favoured the deletion of .-c present disability of being debarred from entering Parliament. The choice should be left to the constituencies. "Directly the equal pay for equal work clause is put into operation," continued | Mrs. Nicoi. a number of women will be thrown out of employment. By this they would have to return to domestic duties—their proper place. She said it was beyond conception the work ante mothers had to do in their homos while j their daughters were out working.
