DIRECTED WORKERS
Payment Of Fares For Holidays (P.A.) WELLINGTON, December 15. Following the practice adopted in previous years the manpower division of the National Service Department is paying the return fares of all workers going home for Christmas holidays from the employment to which they have been compulsorily directed away from their homes. This will apply to between 500 and 600 girls directed from other centres to the Wellington City and Hutt areas. This concession is being made general to compulsorily directed workers throughout the Dominion who are away from their homes, but it applies mainly in the Wellington district, to which most of the workers have been directed. Block bookings of railway seating accommodation were arranged through the Tourist Department where groups of girls from the hostels or large parties of workers are travelling home together.
