We trust that Miss Bondfield will say this again and

again. At present the Acts governing Unemployment Insurance recognize two kinds of domestic service. Persons employed by hotels, boarding houses, and Army canteens are insurable, but persons in private domestic service are not. Of 'course there is the difficulty that a woman who has passed from a factory to private domestic service passes from insurable employment to uninsurable ;

but it is surely possible to overcome this difficulty. Even now it is lamentably true that many women risk nothing whatever by the transfer, for in certain trades they have lost all hope of re-employment.
