screaming from the scene. Two or

Are the returning soldiers more
or less efficient at their old Jobs
This is answered by one of the
largest employers of labor in the
country. a firm which has request
ed that its name be not disclosed ;
"Of more than 600 returned sol
diers who have been employed bv
this corporation. 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than before
they went to war; So per cent are
put down as just about the same
as before and the remaining 5 per
cent are rated as being less eff
clent. The analysis indicates shat
the men are more orderly in their
routine of work, more punctual
and few who were formerly
quite difficult to handle are now
more amenable to discipline. In
this analysis we have talk
en- into consideration the fact that
these men have had overseas SER
vice and must be given a fair op-
to -readiust themselves
to civil life and conditions. With
reference to the 5 per cent who are
less efficient, we find that very
few of them have had overseas
service. "
