WORK FOR MEN
AUCKLAND BUREAU
MINISTER'S STATEMENT
Interviewed today in regard to published statements that hundreds of fit men registered at the Auckland Bureau and Placement Office were without work, the Minister of Labour (the Hon. H. T. Armstrong) stated that men eligible for assistance from the Employment Promotion Fund are being placed as rapidly as they register at the bureau. This morning only twenty eligible fit men were awaiting work, and arrangements had already been made for them to commence on Monday next. Mr. Armstrong repeated that the Government was prepared to find employ-j ment for all physically fit and eligible men, but could not, of course, guarantee that that work would be at the applicant's back door.
