UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS.

I notice many of your correspondents seem to toe perturbed that their 30/ will, fall into evil hands. As one of tli© unemployed -I would like to mention that our "office hour" is 8.30 every morning at the Labour Exchange; We are all set to go. But where to? Surely 6000 men can be given work in such a wonderful country as this. Anyway we want a chance of proving that we will work. Another need is practical suggestions 'to solve the unemployment problem. I suggest that all emigrants be kept out who are not in possession of £100 on whether they are guaranteed work or not, also that training centres be established for unskilled men.- This is the machine age, even in farming. An unskilled man has not a dog's chance of holding down a job for any length of time. They gave us machine-gun courses and other courses in the World War. We were sent in many cases hundreds of miles to undergo such courses. Yet now, nothing can be done in the way of farm training and training in other branches of , industry. A. JAMES. :
