WOMEN MUNITION WORKERS.
SPECIAL LEAVE WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS ARE HOME.
The Minister of Munitions recommends that so far as possible applications for leave by women munitions workers for the period when their husbands are home on leave should be granted. The French Government have already established by law the right of wage earning wives of mobilised men to a period of leave from their employment without pay, equal to each period of leave granted the husbands.
