PROSPECTIVE IMMIGRANTS.
BRITISH WOMEN WORKERS.
LONDON. June 12. At a conference of women workers in London Mis. Ogilvie Gordon, who presided, said that large numbers of women and girls employed in war work would wish to find fresh fields of v.ctk in the Dominions after the war.
Lord Buinhani said that the Government should interest itself more in emigration, especially the emigration of women, which had been much neglected. There would be a surplus of women labour after the war. Women should insist upon representation on the Emigration Board, which was really an Imperial organisation. There should be greater cohesion among the emigration societies, irrespective of their connection with any particular Dominion. Emigration would be an important part of any demobilisation scheme after the war.
