¶ Ministress of Labor Miss Margaret Bondfield introduced for first reading a bill which would increase by $62,500,000 the sums paid to unemployed males and females under the "dole." Increases are planned only in the lower age brackets:
For men, 16 $1.50 $1.50
For women, 16 1.25 1.25
If passed, the Bondfield Bill would mean doling out a total of $610,000,000 next year, equivalent to $13 for everyone in the British Isles.
Prime Minister SirAbdul Muhsin shot and killed himself in the presence of his family at Bagdad last week. He left a sealed letter telling why, which his son refused for several days to open.
