JUBILEE DINNER FOR UNEMPLOYED
A PROPOSAL THAT FELL FLAT Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, May 16. In connection with the city’s jubilee celebrations this month, the Mayor (Rhv. J. K. Archer) proposed to have a free jubilee dinner provided for the unemployed of Christchurch, but today the unemployed decided that a public dinner would only be a parade of their humiliation and that they would feel patronised. They decided that while appreciating the excellent sentiment which prompted the Mayor’s action they would prefer to have the equivalent of the dinner in cash or work. The Slayer has consequently abandoned his scheme.
