Married Women Accused
Of kCeping Soldiers Jobs

Dear Miss Grey: Now that We
read no much about Il being such a
difficult task for our soldiers and
sailors 20 find work ! think your
column IN the best place TO debate
the question Of the right Of married
women who have husbands to sup
port them. holding down Jobs that
returned soldiers might have.
Married women have put up the
plea that they were working for
patriotic purposes. but now that the
war e. over. that n an a myth. For
Instance. In the department stores
in Seattle ana In the Hremerton
navy yard. married women. who
have husbands drawing good sal
aries. are stin holding down Jobs.
while women and girls who are
obliged TO work for living are be
Ing laid Off
Why don't some one do some
thing 20 keep the married woman
who does not have 10 work, az home.

would be- more jobs for our returned
soldiers and sailors. and for the ones
who are Obliged 70 earn their daily
bread
Let us hear the opinion Of others
on this subject.
