The officials of the Returned Soldiers’ Asociation state that nearly a thousand returned soldiers are unable to find work, and are literally on the bread line in Sydney.

They bitterly complain of the apathy of the employers and the Federal Government officials. GRANT FOR RELIEF WORKS. Sydney, This Day. The Government has decided to allot £lOO,OOO for relief works for the unemployed.
