WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
UNION SEEKS EXCLUSION PAINT AND VARNISH TRADE PINT OF MILK FOR MEN [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS WELLINGTON, Thursday Asking that women should be excluded from the industry, the Wellington Paint and Varnish Workers' Union to-day brought an application before the Court of Arbitration at Wellington. As grounds for the request it was stated that women were subjected to the risk of lead poisoning. This, however, the employers denied. A petition from the women was placed before the Court pleading that their means of livelihood should not be taken from them. The Court reserved judgment. The workers asked also for a tenminute "smoke-oh," 20 minutes crib time and a pint of milk a man daily.
