UNEMPLOYMENT
POSITION IN GREY COUNTY By Telegraph.—Press Association. Greymouth, September 6. The Grey County Council to-day resolved that owing to the seriousness of unemployment in the county, particularly the large number of miners thrown idle at Blackball, the Minister of Public Works be requested to employ these men on the Buller Gorge railway, and any other work available on the coast. In reply to a deputation from the unemployed Blackball miners, the chairman of the Grey Hospital Board, Mr. J. W. Hannan, promised to call a special meeting to consider how the board could assist temporarily, and added that the board could not help without a Government grant.
