COMB-OUT PROPOSED
ARMY SERVICE DODGERS
SYDNEY, April 30. A large number of men of military age who have taken jobs recently in munitions establishments in the hope of avoiding military service will be combed out shortly and replaced by other labour expected to become available.
Officers of the Department of Lab - our and of the Department for the War Organisation of Industry have discovered that numerous young mon have given up lucrative non-war jobs and gone into munitions establishments. It is the view of these officers th;” in many cases the young men are using the munitions establishments as “funk-holes,” although there are cases where young men with special ability are now doing very valuable work. It was stated on high authority, says the Sydney Morning Herald, that, when more non-essential industries were closed down and olde 1 ' workers released, many young men would lose their present jobs and be drafted into the Army.
