HARD TO FIND WORK FOR MIDDLE-AGED MEN
SERIOUS BRITISH PROBLEM FAMILY SETTLEMENT CURE (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) LONDON, Wednesday. The Industrial Transference Board is considering a report on its investigations, which have revealed that the most serious problem of the moment Is finding work for middle-aged unemployed men, principally in the coalfields, whose case it is believed can only be met by the development of family settlement in Australia and Canada. The migration officer, Mr. Manning, in this connection, says there is at present no Government family scheme in Australia. Fear exists among the States that the unemployed miners, unless trained for other industries, would eventually fall back on coalmining, possibly creating unemployment in Australian mines. Consequently, it was inadvisable for middle-aged men without capital, to migrate unless they were nominated from country districts, taking a family, who, if they are wage-earning, would enable the parents to establish a footing.
