Relief Work at Johnsonville. The Johnsonville Town Board has decided to authorise the chairman of its works committee to refuse employment to relief workers who have already turned down labour which has been offered to them. This step was taken as a result of reports that a section of relief workers would not accept relief rates of pay for work at their own trades.
Duty on Textiles. Recently a remit was passed by the New Zealand Farmers’ Union that the duties on all imported goods containing wool should be carefully reviewed. Yesterday the AVellington Manufacturers’ Association received a letter from the Farmers’ Union stating that the idea behind the remit was to get the 20 per cen. duty on Bri fish-made textiles containing’ wool reduced to allow of an increased use of wool in those fabrics.
