IRISH POLITICS

ACTIVITY OF NEW PARTY LONDON, September 14. The United Ireland party will contest the local elections on November 14. The party demands that the Government pay the county councils £ 1,000,000 from the central fundi in order to relieve the payment of agricultural rates, because the eco- | nomic war has destroyed the fanners' incomes. Raiders held up a goods train: at Dundalk, menacing the station staff with revolvers. They removed two barrels of beer, which they smashed with hammers. The raiders intended to destroy British beer, but oae barrel was of Irish beer. The Irish Republican Arrcgr. ignoring President E. de YaJera's suggestion that raids were merely playing into . the hands of the British, is continuing a widespread campaign. After an org? of bottle-smashing, the publican is forced to sign a pledge that he will not sell British beer. >

countries,'and this should be given due weight in considering compari* sons between New Zealand and other countries. Here the Unemployment Act provided for relief to be granted to any able-bodied male adult worker who was unemployed and registered as such, able and willing to work, and irrespective! of what industry he was attached to previously. Many who were te-ctatr receiving relief were not attached to industry as wage-earners at all This was very different from, the position in Great Britain and m Queensland, where the operation off the scheme was limited to industrial workers engaged in approved industrial undertakings. Only Contributors Qualify. Again in the two countries mentioned—Great Britain and Queensland—the payment of benefit was related to the contributions made. For instance, to qualify for benefit in Britain the worker must have made at least 30 contributions to the fund during the previous two years. The claimant.had to sfacnr that he was previously engaged ia one of the insured industries:, and that he was looking for work, awl willing to accept it if offered, in one of the insured industries. U.B. 32 (enquiry sheet):— Some dissatisfaction was alleged at the inquisitiveness of our UJ$. 32 (enquiry sheet), which unemployed workers were required to complete as a condition of relief. There was nothing exceptional ia an enquiry of this type, and experience had proved the necessity for it. Mr Coates said that he had examined some of the enquiry sheet* provided for use in Australian states, and there was very little difference in any of them.

SHELTER WANTED AT CULYERDEN REQUEST BY LEWIS PASS KOAD MEN The single men in the Lewis Pas* road camp have written to the Mayor (Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P.) asking Mm jif he could assist them in their efforts to secure a shelter at Culverdea in which they could spend the night when making trips from the camp to Christ- } church. They state that a stop at Cul- * verden is necessary every trip, when 7s 6d is required for accommodation, a sum they can ill afford. If a abetter could be erected they would be helped considerably. The Mayor said yesterday that he would take the matter up with the Unemployment Board. WHAT CAUSES OPERATIONS? Few operations are caused by accidents —fewer still by unavoidable maladies—the majority of operations are necessary because of neglected constipation. A very simple method of correcting this serious complaint is to spread a little Honeylax on bread or biscuit, and eat same every ereaing. It's delicious!
