APPEAL MADE TO EMPLOYERS
MEN CALLED UP FOR REINFORCEMENTS
EFFECT OF POSTPONEMENT OF MOBILIZATION 1 (United Press Association) '• WELLINGTON, September 9. The position of men called up for service with the 4th Reinforcement, whose entry into the mobilization camps has been deferred as a precautionary measure against the spread of the outbreak of measles, was explained by the Minister of Defence (the Hon. F. Jones) in an interview tonight. He said that those men who were unable to resume their former employment were requested to call at the nearest defence office with their original calling-up notice and on the date due would be entitled to receive military pay. This would continue as long as suitable employment was not available, or till they were again posted for military duties. “At the moment it cannot be stated with any certainty what period will elapse before these men can be permitted to enter the camps,” said Mr • Jones. “It has been recognized that a number of men may have given up their civil employment in anticipation of their being required to proceed to the camps this week, and therefore they may now be out of work until required to undertake their military duties. , “The co-operation and assistance of the former employers of these men is sought by the Government which requests that all employers who can possibly do so should . retain or re-engage members of their staffs who were called up for service with the 4th Reinforcement.”
