UNEMPLOYED SOLDIERS.
BUSINESS MEN PREFER
WOMEN
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 29. Mr. Leadley, secretary of thu Christchurch Returned Soldiers' Association, says that at present there tire 140 Chrichchurch soldiers out of work on the books of the repatria^ tion department. He thinks the situation serious enough to warrant the Mayor calling a conference of employers, and unemployed returned soldiers out of work to see if some employment cannot be found for these men immediately. Mr. Lea'dley strongly complains that all over the city there are employers who are satisfied to retain women in men's employment, simply because I* is cheaper. He says the Repatriation Board at present has thirty clerks out of work as well as grocers' assistants. Yet the jobs they might be filling are held by women.
