ABSTRACT
Probably her experience was the experience of many. At present there was great difficulty iIi reaching the real views of the workers 'affected, because the few women's organisations among working people. are the Trade Unions, and, unfortunately, the' Trade Unions at the present time were taking views in' favour, of restriction; moreover, they represented a very smaJI portion of the working women of the country. There was no opportunity for their legislators' to get at the people in regard to whom they were asked to n:ia.ke laws. The .fact that the Home Secretary's Bill would have added to the freedom of labour shows that all legislators are not in favour of restriction; at the same time the tremendous opposition raised to it, chiefly 'by Trade Unions, showed that there was necessity for & great deal more knowledge, and they hoped they would get some real help to-day in receiving and sprea.ding knowledge. They wanted to know the real views pf the women; they wanted to get correspondents 'everywhere. This would help to bring the question before candidates for Parliament, for naturally the candidates wish to know what the women themselves really think.
