LABOUR REGULATIONS
CONTROL IN CANADA. OTTAWA. June 17. Additional controls have been established over the disposition and movement of Canadian . labour. Under regulations announced today no man or woman may take any job anywhere, with a few exceptions, without the approval of a selective service officer. ‘‘This isn’t freezing, ” Elliott M. Little, Director of National Selective Service explained, “because a man or woman still has the right to seek a job and an employer ha« the right to seek an employee, but the man or woman cannot take a job, and the employer cannot hire anyone without the approval of the local office. It enables us to control the movement of labour and guide it where it can contribute most to the winning of this fight. We have got to a stage where we must carefully measure our manpower on a priority basis just as materials have to be rationed.’’
