UNEMPLOYED.
SOLVING SOLDIER PROBLEMS, [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 2S. Air R. S. Horne, Minister for Labour, replying in the House of Commons to a debate regarding unemployed and demobilised soldiers, declared that industries had reabsorbed 81 per cent of the demobilised soldiers. Most of the employers had kept their pledges to reinstate soldiers. Unemployment was decreasing and the Government would shortly provide work on an unexampled scale, including the erection of 200,000 houses, spending £7,500,000 repairing roads. £2,500,000 on gas and waterworks schemes, and £15,000,000 on other schemes had been sanctioned.
