WOMEN WORKERS
TOO MANY IN INDUSTRY. APPEAL FOR REMOVAL. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, September 24. Addressing at Oxford a conference of works directors, managers and foremen, Sir Herbert Austin urged the adoption by Britain of Herr Hitler’s idea of removing women from industry. The women of Britain had built round themselves a position which they had not occupied before the war, he said. Industry was not a woman’s place. He was confident that if all were removed therefrom, except perhaps in the cotton industry, it would solve the unemployment problem. British industry was now, he said, unable to support higher wages or shorter hours. Unless the world was better organized a definite move in the opposite direction might be expected. Increasing hours and reducing wages was a more economical basis.
