AGAINST "CUTS."
RELIEF WORKERS' STAND. CONCESSIONS WANTED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) GISBORNE, this day. Three hundred relief workers have decided that, in view of the failure, of the Unemployment Board to meet repeated requests for the amelioration of conditions, and for increases in pay, they will not accept work until the following concessions are granted:—(l) That the Unemployment Board restores the allocation to the scale in operation before the November cut; (2) that compulsory camps be abolished; and (3) that the piecework syetem be abandoned. A public meeting has been convened for next week to consider further protests against the summer allocation. It is stated that married men without children have been advised that they will receive half a day's work only for next week, representing 5/ per worker.
