Sir Rider Haggard, in Canada, argues women will not return to idle lives after the war. He notes three million British women in munition shops and railways gained economic freedom during stress, and suggests fifteen million women across belligerents left homes to replace men. He warns of a postwar economic struggle that could reshape world trade and gender dynamics. Europe, meanwhile, avoids an Orpet trial.
The Evening Gazette promotes a contest inviting nominations with three blanks each costing 1000 votes. A ballot box at the Gazette office accepts five vote coupons daily, encouraging readers to vote for favorites and aim for prizes including an automobile. Corrections clarify prize cameras are Ansco from E R Springer Studio and emphasize broad inquiries by phone or letter. Separate items note Workmen’s Compensation audits led by Commissioner John Price Jackson to ensure proper payments and penalties for reporting delays and unpaid awards.
The Department of Labor and Industry calls for detailed reports to explain why compensation was not paid and what actions are being taken. Employers injured on the job and without medical attention or compensation for over 14 days may write to the Compensation Bureau for thorough investigation. This is an ongoing state agency effort, not a campaign, under Commissioner Jackson after the Workmen’s Compensation Act passage.
