RELIEF WORK CAMP.
COMPULSION OPPOSED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGANUI, this day. A meeting of relief workers passed a resolution giving the opinion that recruiting for camps should be purely voluntarily, and strongly protesting against any form of compulsion, which it was considered was an intrusion of civil' rights. The meeting was also of the opinion that men willing to go to camps should be allowed to visit their homes at frequent intervals, and that their wives and families should enjoy a just and equitable standard of living. The view was expressed that an effective remedy for unemployment is to be sought only in a courageous and farreaching of the Government, and that the Government should be urged to tijke immediate steps to provide an adequate remedy to restore to the unemployed'a just and equitable standard of living.
