“Twenty Thousand Women In Munition Plants To-day. Ottawa. It is feared that the women will be the first to feel the pinch of readjustment. There are thousands of women in munition works who will no longer be needed and will not be required in the old lines. Fortunately in the last year there has been a reduction in the number of women employed on munitions. The number at one time ran as high as forty thousand, but at present will probably not run more than twenty thousand.
Then there are many women in banks, offices, etc., who are taking positions of soldiers at the front. These places have been promised to the old employees, and the women will be dismissed. In Ottawa there are many girls in war work who have already been notified that their services can no longer be continued. The problem of the women is regarded as likely to be the most serious this winter. Committee of women interested will be formed to advise and assist the repatriation committee.”
