UNEMPLOYED RELIEF.
SUBSIDISED FARM WORKERS. PROTEST BY TRADES COUNCIL
(Special to the' “ Guardian.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day
The Canterbury Trades and Labour Council has forwarded the following resolution to the Minister for Employment (the Hon. Adam Hamilton).: “That this council enters a strong protest against the policy of the Unemployment Board in supplying the services of subsidised -workers to farmers under the No. 4a scheme, who are in a position to pay for such, services, i.e.,. the case submitted by the Ashburton Unemployment Committee recently, We are of the opinion that revenue derived from levy, wage-tax, etc., was never intended to assist farmers other than those in financial difficulties. The Unemployment Board, is obviously now violating the principle of devoting unemployment funds for legitimate purposes.”
