J Two hundred ex-service men dismissed for reasons of economy from the unemployment branch of the Ministry of Labour, are protesting against the continued employment of girls. They walked in at the usual hour and hung up their coats and sat at the desks waiting for something to turn up. The officials say no action will be taken as the men will tire of protesting sooner or later, but the officials of the ex-servicemen's association propose to pay the men's expenses and provide meals, declaring that 700 girls are being retained. An official of the Ministry for Labour states that Cabinet ordered the employment of girls for such work.
