MARRIED WOMEN WORKERS.
X noticed an article in tlie "Star' re married "women whose husbands are in good positions also working. I know of a, married couple, both school - teachers, whose salary is £12 weekly. They have no children. There are, I believe, over one hundred married women teachers and seven married couples in the employ of the Auckland Education Board. _ What is the Government doing ahout it? There are young girls walking the streets looking for work who would "get a chance if these'greedy ones were put in their proper 'places, looking after their husbands (and children). I, as a working man, voted, for the United party, and it is up to them to solve this question. A porter in - the employ of the Railway Department, whose wage is under £4 weekly, is not allowed to do any other work or sell any article he may make to earn a little extra to keep his wife and family. If it is good enough for one department it is good enough for another. Get rid of the married women working and the unemployed problem would be partly solved, SELF FIRST, SELF LAST. j
