PUT TO NAYVYING
WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS Special Australian Correspondent. Rec. 9.30 a.m. SYDNEY, this day. A complaint that scores of old and middle-aged white-collar workers who have spent half a lifetime behind shop counters are being conscripted to do hard pick and shovel work for which they are quite unsuited has been made by officials of the Australian Shop Assistants' Union. To the suggestion that other and more suitable war work might be found for these men, the Allied Works Council spokesman said: "The need for operational defence works is so great that every available man in the group allotted to us must be called up. This group embraces men from 45 to 55."
