AUCKLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.

j WORK FOR WILLING HANDS. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Ln the House this afternoon* Mr. Hogan (Wanganui) referred to the informacion which had appeared in the newspapers regarding the number of unemployed in Auckland. He said he was I one of those who believed that there I should be no unemployed in New Zea,----i land, and, as there seemed to be some ground for complaint in Auckland, he was desirous o| knowing what tlvc Government proposed doing in the matter of affording relief. Sir Joseph Ward said he believed there was no need for relief. He had been in I communication with the Mayor of Auckj land, and had informed Mr. Myers that I the Government would have 'no diflicultv in making provision for any men requiring Avork. It was not reasonable to suppose that such work could be found in the city itself, but those desirous of employment could be placed on reproductive works in the country. '"There is no need for amy man to be out of employment in New Zealand," ! added the Prime Minister, "provided that i that man is willing to work." (Applause.)
