Women to Replace Men
In Underwriters Office

London, Aprcl 26.-Underwriters at
Lhyds were shocked the other day
to learn that the military tribunal
had suggested the assignment Of wo-
men workers to replace men fit for
service there. There was even talk
OF strike.
Edward E. Nichols, member OF
the directing committee, replied: The
tribunal doesn't know what it is
about if it endorses this suggestion.
Anyone who knows how business is
conducted at Lloyds knows that it is
a seething mass of struggling people.
No woman could decently take part in
such work.
Underwriters are already employ
ing women as clerks in their Offices,
and they are doing excellent work.
This, however, has been carried about
as far as it can be. 1t takes a life
time to train men to work on the floor
at Lloyds. If more men are taken
from us, it will simply become i'm
possible to insure ships. We shall
have to consider, in fact, the question
of calling a. cessation of work in
order to draw attention to what is
being DONE"

BEEF STEERS.

HcEs--The market followed almost identi-
cally the same course as yesterday. Higher
prices all around and only fair receipts here
made the undertone bullish from the outset.
and while IT was midforenoon before q great
deal OF stun sold, It was Just a matter OF
agreeing on the amount Of the advance.
Shippers started the ball rolling, buying
rather freely at the opening. They paid
prices that were easily 100l5c up, and
looked soc higher In spots. As was the case
Yesterday packers made their opening bids
steady, but sellers, who had a. a general
thing priced their holdings about i5c higher
at the outset never had to change their
Ideas much movement OF killer hogs finally
starting on a 10@l5c higher basis
There we're several draggy spots In the
trade. but the close was as good as any
other time on anything desirable. and near
~ everything changed hands In pretty good
season. Prices were generally l00l5c high
er. and more sales were probably made i5c
up than any other way. spread Of SIS 50
4i5.so caught most Of the sales and sew
eral loads OF good heavies sold at $500, the
price being paid for the first time in nearly
month. So far this week there has been
= full quarter advance. and prices are rap
idly getting back to where they were at
the high time.
