SHORT OF MACHINISTS
PA DUNEDIN, May 30. A serious shortage of experienced machinists for clothing factories in the four centres engaged in making military garments was emphasised at a sitting of the Industrial Man-power Appeal Committee' by Mr. S. R. Medder when giving evidence for the textile section of the Industries and Commerce Department. He said that every military contractor was well behind with orders. Therewere not nearly enough female machinists avilable. The situation was so serious that one factory manager agreed to accept 50 unskilled women to train in order to try to fulfil war contracts.
