P.W.D. LABOUR.
MINISTER'S INTENTIONS. WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. It is the intention of the Government to avoid any competition between the Public Works Department and farmers in the engaging of labour. This was made clear by the Minister of Public Works, Hon. R. Semple, this evening. "We are not going to allow men to go away from farm jobs to take jobs that belong to men now out of work," said Mr. Semple. "We want to draw all our men from among the physically fit unemployed, and if other inen try to take their jobs we are going to put a stopper on it. "I am going to striko a tit warning to those who might l>e just waiting to take the jobs of those men who have been without work for long enough. If they try that on they will get a rude shock. Anything like that will be stopped. If it shows up-we will tread on it good and hard." ,
