The union is about to open branches all over the country in the effort to find work for some of the 15,000 rex-officers now unemployed.

The ex-officer interviewed by the Daily Chromicle representative is 30 years of age, and has a dis- tinguished military record. He was mentioned in dispatches, and his Army testimonials speak in the highest possible terms of his efficiency and character. was his six months" fruitless quest for work which induced him to join the union and to help in its i efforts to organise adequately al ex-Service men who bare held commissions.*

I was demobilised in Exeter in February of this year, and was quite sure that I should be able to work my way up in civilian life as I had done in the Army. I didn't expect to begin at the top; I was quite willing to go slow at first.

"I at once registered at the Labour Bureau, and then came up to London, and had by name taken at Horrex's. The ouly job which I was ever offered through Horrex's 1 found occupied on application.

"I wrote seven times to Horrer's, but received no reply, and, deciding that it was absolute- is useless to get anything through them. I made up my mind to depend entirely on efforts.
