It was reported at yesterday's meeting of the Repatriation Board that there were 18 unemployed on the Board's books, made up as follows-? Clerks 3 : , storenien 2, motor drivers 1, horse drivel's 1, light employment 3, disabled 2, labourers, etc., 6. Forty-three _applications for work had been received since the last meeting of the .Board, and positions had been found for 41 applicants. Work had been found also for ten ex-Imperial soldiers. Speaking of these last, the chairman of the Employment Committee, Mr W. Goss, stated that they were the hardest class of all to find positions for. The kind of york they wanted was generally unusual, and when they were sent to a "job" they did not return to the Board's officer and report results. It was thus very hard to keep a check on them, and to* know exactly what results were being obtained in the way of finding them work.
