FARMERS' PAY-SHEETS
REFERENCE IN COUNCIL. AUCKLAND, October 30. "Most farmers expect men to work for nothing," remarked .the Mayor of Takapuna, Mr J. Guiniven, at a meeting of the Borough Council. It is unique to find farmers taking an interest in unemployment," he said, •When a letter urging the holding of a representative meeting to discuss unemployment was received from the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union. . "Your remarks are an insult to farmers," said Mr P. Pedersen, "and they are not justified. I could provide paysheets showing that " wages paid .to farm' workers are equal to those of the council's employees. "That is not saying much," .replied Mr Guiniven. The letter was received, the Mayor remarking that he understood the Mavor of Auckland, Mr G. W. Hutchison, intended calling a similar meeting.
