COMPULSORY EMPLOYMENT.
The Minister for Labour says he is indeavouring in the Hospital and Charitable Aid Bill, to be brought down this session, to make provision on the State farm system for the compulsory employment of those indigent and indolent persons in the large centres who, while living on charity, won't work. Mr Meredith gave an example of a Christchurch labour agitator who, while always leading unemployed agitations, refused work when offered him; and the Minister quoted another Ohristohurch agitator, who was continually writing to the press attacking the Labour Department and who had repeatedly refused the work offered him.
