DOMESTIC WORK
COMPETENT APPLICANTS EASILY PLACED WORK OF WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE x On behalf of the Women’s Employ* ment Committee, the secretary (Mis*' '*'■ Coe-Smith) this morning gave a denial to the statement published several day* ago wherein an agent said that “ employed women and girls were being kept by the Government, and there* fore did not have any desire to seek work. So long as the Government con* tinued to give them enough to live on they would not attempt ti> look for, employment.” The position, said Miss Coe-Smith* was that most of the women and girls who came to the committee were in* competent for work in a home, and be* fore positions were found for them they had to be trained. They had, of course, to be kept during the period of training. “ Any,competent girls are soon placed in good jobs,” further stated Miss Coe- . Smith. “We have fqr more £ jobs on. our list than we have girls to fill them* The agency may have all the girls our list ready for jobs.”
