(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. That the City Council had been promised a subsidy of up to £2000 by the Unemployment Board for the provision of work, to tide men over the Christmas period, was a statement made at a conference of local bodies to-day. The conference met for the purpose of considering the Unemployment Board's offer of £35,000 in subsidies for the Dominion for Christmas work. Addresess were delivered by Mr. W. E. Leudley and Mr. F. L. Hutehinson, the two Canterbury members of the board. "I think'wo can drop the term 'relief work,' " said Mr. George Finn, a member of the Unemployment Board, addressing local bodies this morning. "It is.no longer relief work. There should be no approbrium attached to people who have to accept work provided for them by local unemployment committees. I hope before long the word 'unemployment' will go out, too. The board should have been called the Employment Board." He also thought that wages rates should bo fixed by the Arbitration Court.
