DEMAND FOR WORK
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION.
The unemployed made another demonstration in the Post Office Square to-day. Numerous speakers addressed about 500 men who gathered between 12 and 2 p.m., and the speeches were very much on the lines of those delivered on Monday. It was again pointed out that the organisers were anxious to organise the workless, so that definite steps could be taken to force the Government to understand the seriousness of the position. The following motion was carried:— "Realising that since the Great' War the intense productivity of the working class has caused the capitalist class to, have stored in the warehouses more food and clothes and other commodities than they can sell, and realising that this is the condition that makes it unprofitable for the master class to employ us producing more, this meeting of the Wellington unemployed demand from the Government either relief work at Trades Union wages, or unemployed pay at the current rate of wages;"
