SUSTENANCE PAY.
DECISION REVIEWED. CASH ALLOWANCE CONTINUES TO MEN WITHOUT WORK. Instructions issued three weeks ago bv the Unemployment Board that all sustenance allowances to registered men for whom relief work could not be found should cease last Friday have not been put into effect, and in Auckland a sustenance allowance, all cash, is still being paid by the Labour Department. Early last month the Unemployment Board reduced the allowance from 90 per cent of what a relief worker would have earned had work been found for him, to 50 per cent, and announced that all sustenance allowance was to cease at the end of the month. However, this decision has been reviewed, and a cash payment at the reduced allowance will continue to be paid, but for how long is indefinite. The board now pays all insurance cover on relief workers, and the Auckland Labour Bureau has plenty of work in the country for all men willing and fit to accept it. >
