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 the man-power authorities, the deputy director, Mr F. E. Walsh, has announced. The new comb-out was an Australia-wide move, he said. Women would be taken from the stores on a parentage basis. Mr Walsh added that employers’ fears that the new comb-out would cause an exodus of employees to other jobs were groundless, because transfers had to be approved by the Man-power Directorate. Urgent demands for labour in hospitals, canneries, fruitprocessing factories, and other essential industries were responsible for the new move.
