£4,000,000 Currant Crop
NO LABOUR FOR HARVEST MELBOURNE, Dec. 28. So acute is the labour shortage at Alildura that schools may close to enable the children to harvest the £4,000,000 crop of currants early next year. The shortage has ben caused mainly by the enlistment of 2000 young men from the district, and a drift of others to munitions work in the cities. A special labour bureau has been formed to seek men throughout the Commonwealth to harvest the crop, but it has had little success. A Jyabour Department official will visit the district shortly to make a repost tfr* situation.
