Women's Training and Employment, or the Employment Exchanges, or on the lines of the Juvenile Organisation Committees with assistance from Local Authorities. Experimental efforts in regard to these would be advisable. Employers should make it easy for their workers to attend evening classes. It it also important that workers should be allowed to receive visitors, including men friends. 10. Wages In regard to wages, as in the case of hours, a minimum scale suitable to different ages, to learners and trained workers, for different classes of jobs, and for different districts, requires most careful working out. Our information shows some scandalously low wages, but on the other hand, four individuals (? employers) regard them as too high. Eleven are against any minimum scale, and 1,722 regard present wages as adequate. But the overwhelming opinion is in favour of a scale as suggested. 11. Daily or Resident? There is undoubtedly a preference for daily service "living out," except in country districts, especially those from which girls go to domestic work elsewhere. Experiments in hostels for servants and organisation on an hourly and daily basis at a wage comparable with that paid generally for other employment in the district should be encouraged. Local authorities in large cities might well develop these, and in co-operation with the Juvenile Advisory Committees, general hostels for young workers might be tried. The example of the Public Health Authorities, which have already established Home Help services, might well be followed by others, and gradually a large field might be covered for daily work. 12. Should Domestic Servants be Insured The results of our inquiries are definitely in favour of bringing these workers, whether daily or residential, into unemployment insurance. We are, however, bound to point out that we have 55 replies against it, and that the Press correspondence showed a strong feeling against insurance. But it was still more against Trade Unionism. (20)
