Will England Draft Women for War Work and Beyond
A long column discusses whether nations can draft women into war work and then push them back to home duties after the conflict. It cites British talk of conscripting women, predicts independence from jobs, and notes American views voiced by Mrs. Rathbone and Coke Stevenson at a Texas federation gathering focusing on war effort, labor policy, and hemispheric unity. Delegates from Canada, Mexico, and Cuba attend the federation’s fifty-first annual convention, with plans for a $75,000 war service fund and a new flag saluting gesture.
