LABOUR AND THE UNEMPLOYED
TO TBI EDITDB OT TH» TBESS. Sir,—About a month ago single/unemployed men were notified to register for full-time employment, the ballot for the work to be held in three weeks from that date.

[When this letter was referred to him, Mr M. Rcss, the district employment officer, said that 10 single men had started work on September 13, and a further 10 would start to-morrow. The rest of the men would be starting as soon as possible. J
