The chairman of the New South Wales Hospitals Commission, Mr. R. Love, recently suggested that many hundreds of women, girls and youths might profitably be employed in salvaging unwanted household goods which now are sent to the rubbish tip. At a mass meeting of unemployed women and'girls to-day a resolution was carried expressing disgust and indig nation at Mr. Love's suggestion that they should make scavengers of themsolve?. The resolution added: "Wo think a man who draws a salarv of £I2OO a year should endeavour to earn it in some more practical man ner. Our Australian women, by birth or adoption, being British, intend to remain British."
