THE SERVANTS' HALFHOLIDAY.
% [bt teleobaph.— pbess association.] ■Dd^tedut, This Day. At a meeting of the Executive of the "Women's Franchise League it was resolved • —I. 1 That the Executive record its indignation at the childishness exhibited by the members of the Lower House in discussing Mr. Kelly's Bill providing for a half-holi-day for domestic servants. 2. That while a half-holiday is a greater necessity for domestic servants than any class of male workers, the Executive holds it to be most injudicious that girls should by Act of Parliament be driven f torn their natural shelter into the street, whether they wish it or not, and would ask the Legislative Council to expunge from the Bill the clause with this objectionable provision. It was also resolved to thank the Premier for his successful efforts in raising the age of consent to 18, and his endeavours to repeal the CD. Act.
