RELIEF WORK.
I ask someone with a better brain than I mine to explain the attitude of local bodies I towards relief workers. For three years they have called them loafers and complained of the overhead expense, while they sacked their regular hands, who come on relief and do their olr 1 job on relief pay. They also petition the Unemployment Board to pay sustenance. A month later the fame Mayors s;iy. "No work, no pay." Now at the present crisis, are they thinking of us or is it the prospect of having to put on, again t'leir old permanent hands that is troubling them? Let the Unemployment Board pay all relief men a fair sustenance for six months as an experiment and watch the relief figures fall by half. BELIEF WORKER.
