G6vernro_ent-ass.isted migrants are meeting with .bitter disappointment, and there, is a grave ri^k that newcomers' may be used to ■ depress the level of wages. I.am fdso informed that the housing conditions in mining camps arc a disgrace to civilisation; many families living in tents and huts which are in an insaiiitasy. contlitipm; I would say to miners who are' thinking of going to New : Zealand, 'Think before ybii leap.'
