Comb-out of Men for the Forces
Received Tuesday, 10 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 22. The third and most thorough combout of deferred men still in civilian jobs has been announced by the Ministry of Labour, says the Daily Express. All industries, except coalmining, and the Merchant Navy, will be asked for men. The most important trades, for instance, some forms of engineering, will be asked to release all deferred skilled men to 21, while less essential industries will be asked to release deferred men to 39. The decision applies to men who are at present deferred because of special value in civilian jobs. Now they are wanted for tho forces. The older men are wanted for garrison duty in Britain.
