v
Short
age
of
skilled

and

is
causing
a
"black
market"
in
labor
in
Autsralia.
Employers
are
forced
to
compete
with
each
other
for
available
manpower
and
many
are
offering
wages
much
higher
than
tM
rates
laid
down
by
the

Board,
the
ruling
body
that
fixes
all
wages
in

One
'

has
a
standing
offer
of
a
$32
bonus
to
any
employee
who
brings
in
a

It
also
provides

tto

One

this

offered
free
-
bicycles-
to-
boys
who
would
join
the
staff
and
stay
for
at
least
a
year
as
messengers.
The
manager
of
this
firm
said
the
offer
wasn't
bringing
direct
results
but
three
boys
had
called
and
promised
to
"think
it
over."
A
leading
industrialist
said
tha'
neither
he
nor
anyone
else
dared
offend
the
messenger
boy
"that
mighty
midget
who
has
the
com

of

In

have

notice
on

that

are
