DRAPERY ASSISTANTS
COMB-OUT FOR WAR WORK Brisbane, Feb. 5. More girls and women are to be combed out from large Brisbane drapery stores by manpower authorities, the deputy-director. Mr F. E. Walsh, has announced. The new comb-out was an Australiawide Knove. he said. Women would be taken from the stores on a percentage basis Mr Walsh added that employers’ tears that *he new comb-out would cause an exodus of employees to other jobs were groundless, because transfers had to be approved by the Manpower Directorate. Urgent demands for lab our in hospitals, canneries, fruit-pro-cessing factories, and other essential in dustries were responsible for the new move.
