Unemployed Trainees For Arms Factories
LONDON, February 19. Forty thousand recruits for' semiskilled trades are expected to be ready to enter arms factories within a year under the Government’s plan to train unemployed from all trades at 22 centres throughout the country. Their training will last six months and will include draftsmanship and instrument making. Many other employers in the engineering and metal trades will be asked to start similar schemes. Training may be extended to secondary schools. Women trainees will receive allowances supplementary to their total unemployment pay leaving them with about 5/- for pocket money after paying for lodgings. The scheme is entirely voluntary.
