The . t~k which has been jlottcd fI,
the ,1IfLnlstry. of L:ibour EmpJo)'m('lIt b
dang s dunng these strenuou daY5 of
reset.tlem nt
and
rceon trunion
b
provUlg .o ne of the most difficult prr,b.
lems whIch any Gover,nment deSM,tnl<'nt
b,as had to underta ke.""- Since the signing
of the Armi tice in ovember tbe great
problt'm of demobilisatiop ~ommenced
and the "'ork had to be undertaken at a
moment' s lIOlice. Tbe work of Ihe Ell.
c~ange du~ng tbis p riod can Dot be too
hlg:hly praJsed, and the Reading area,
whach cClY.ers something approaChiDC SOO
square miles; has been very fortunate in
return of men from the Colours. Ie b",
beeD stated by the Depart'ment Ihat up- to
the end of June seventy-five pu cent. 01
the employees had been demobiliS('d.
The resettlement is prov ing a vn y
heavy w k, and it· is ver)' gratifying til
thQ~ the payment of out-ol -wor k
lion is steadily on the decline. T he
wor.ks. iD tile distrKt are being put Int.,
ord,er, and are providing more wot ~
which is enabling- tbe Employm ent E, :
change taff to steadily decred~(' t~"
Il)lmw of unemployed on tbt'ir boo~'.
There- is a decided improvement in tf...
co-operation of the employers with tho
Mid istry, as this is tbe direct lin e for rh,
placing
men in ¢lDploy-ment and /,t
employers being sure of getting tho
rrch1 man for their job. j The "WOlD en ',
department is one w~ich ~as a very dell.
cate undert.aJ>ing to Perform, as so man)
of our young women have' had to give up.
the war jobs, and make'ronm for t h,
returned soJdiers, but e are given to
understand that everytlllng is being doo l
to help the girls in this direction. Th e
Juvenile Department is one which is
al 0 doing a great service to tbe young
people of the district, and herE' again " r
would point out that the employers wtll
do well to further their own interest' It
they wouIa snow a little more co-ope LI'
tion with the Ministry in notil ing th clr
'wants to them. They have everythi llK
at their disposal, and the staff at the b
change, under the ahl management "I
Mr. E. A. Whiteley. will do all.in t h~ lf
power to, help in any way pc)ssi ble te
grapple with . the grt?\t problem of r.·
construction W1Iich the country is b CH'!
with . There ak great possibilities In
front of lis as a nation . The best way w
meet those possibilities ' is to work and
produce. The best 'way to organise ou r
work lis to have one central bodv t."
pro.vidin, the labour for tllat work , ,Inol
that central body is represented by tho
Employment Exchange.
"oln the Volunteer Forces .
One of the chief points emphasiscd "I
recent dinners of the BeriqbirE: Unlt ,
has beeD the ne.cessity that the men
should again jom the Territorial Force'
now that they are to be • reconstituted
We hope the reSponse will be satisfac·
tory. If enthusiasm for their CIld unit,
were a sufficient spur the rate
re o
cnriting would be quite satisfactory.
There is DO man who has served in a
Berkshire unit who is not proua of what
it has achieved, and of the men by
whose side he has been fighting. They
are all " jolly good pals, " and IDtend to
remain so for the rest of their live,
Wby not then cement t~ good feelinl!" '
still further by all joinin'g' up in the old
unit?
War we all hope has bUll
s otched, but there is the same need d '
of yore for voluntary enlistment. Th('rr
is no question · that tllte people of th ,'
country realise what they OWe to th l"
Territorial Forces , . and they are deter ·
JDined that they shan be looked after
much better in- the way of equiPmen t
and other facilities than was the case III
the "Past. N0'f is the time when tho s~
who fet'l that they ca n do Ih'e ir coulltry
so~ service
should associate them·
selves with the Territorials whi ch have
done so JDuch Jor us.
TIM liaIlers' Strike.
Reading people have been experient·'
