SHORTAGE OF LABOUR.
DUE TO MARRIAGE. SYDNEY, June 27. Before the Labour Shortage Commission a costume manufacturer, referring to the difficult of securing apprentices, said he would willingly pay 5/ ■ weekly above award rates right through slack and busy times to intelligent apprentices. He had had to turn customers away owing to the difficulty of getting labour. Mr Ross, a bottle manufacturer, declared that he could double his trade if there were labour available. One witness declared that the real cause of the shortage was through girls marrying.
