LOWERED INCOME
Position of Relief Workers GISBORNE DEPUTATION By Telegraph.—Press Association Gisborne, November 6. A deputation to-day met the Cook Hospital Board unemployment committee and stated a case for workers affected by the latest reduction in the unemployment relief scale operating locally. The committee was informed that the men could not accept camp work, as that would leave their wives worse offin town. It was stated that even though the urban earnings were reduced under the new proposals some classes of workers would lose a third of their present relief payments. The Ministers’ Association strongly supported the deputation, ministers attending in» a body and appealing for reconsideration by the Unemployment Board and for temporary aid from the Hospital Board for families most affected. The committee promised to consider additional relief to cases meriting help, after investigation, and assured the deputation that it would forward to the Unemployment Board a reminder of its responsibility for relief workers who are not invalids.
