Irishwomen's Association.
<salute>Dear Madame,</salute>
As the outcome of a Conference recently held in Dublin on "The
<lb/>Position of Women in Industry in Ireland," an Irishwomen's Association
<lb/>has been formed with the following objects:&#x2014;
<lb/>1. To be a centre of information on all questions affecting women
<lb/>and children in Ireland.
<lb/>2. To act as a link between existing organisations concerned
<lb/>with such questions.
It is proposed to carry out these objects&#x2014;
<lb/>(a). By collecting and tabulating information.
<lb/>(b). By studying existing legislation and its administration.
<lb/>(c). By publications.
<lb/>(d). By organising conferences.
It is the aim of the Association to form a bond between societies
<lb/>and individuals who have the welfare of Ireland at heart, and who desire
<lb/>to help in building up a better civilization after the war. It is not pro&#x2014;
<lb/>posed to initiate any new work, but to co&#x2014;ordinate and make available
<lb/>for the use of all the experience and information already possessed by
<lb/>scattered individuals and societies. It is hoped that the Association will,
<lb/>in time, constitute a body of informed opinion with the regard to any pro&#x2014;
<lb/>posed fresh legislation, or to the working of existing legislation affecting 
<lb/>women and children.
The Association will consist of&#x2014;
<lb/>1. Individual members, subscribing 2/&#x2014; annually.
<lb/>2. Affiliated societies, subscribing 2/6 annually.
<lb/>3. Ex&#x2014;officio members, secretaries of women's trade unions and
<lb/>co&#x2014;operative guilds.
