EMPLOYMENT OF BARMAIDS
LICENSING COMMITTEE'S
REGRET.
AN APPEAL TO HOTELKEEPERS.
Reference was made at the annual meeting of the Auckland Licensing Committee, held yesterday, to the employment of barmaids in city hotels. ' At the preceding annual meeting a pronouncement was made by the committee on the subject recommending licensees to dispense with the employment of women in the bar trade. The Chairman (Mr- R. W. Dyer, S.M.), speaking yesterday on behalf of the committee, said they regretted that no action had been taken by licensees in the way of carrying out the suggested reform. The committee recognise," he added, "that they have no power to enforce what they have suggested—they cannot order it to be done—but they had expressed the hope and wish that the licensees, as soon as they conveniently could, would dispense with the employment of women as barmaids, and they regret that the suggestion then made, in the hope' that it would have effect, lias not been, carried out." .•':,■
