Equal Pay for Women
discussion" by t.u.c.
LONDON, Wednesday.— At to
day's session of the Trades Union
Congress there was a lively dis
cussion on the Government's nlan
for compulsory fire watching for
women. The main criticisms were
directed against the inequality of
compensation for Injuries, women
being paid on a lower scale than
men. One delegate said that if
men and women were to face a
common peril, they should be
treated on a basis of equality In
case of Injury. The council of the
congress agreed to do all it could
to protect the Interests of both
men nnd women fire watchers.
