NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Ist April. The attempt by leaders of the unemployed workers' movement to prceipitato a /strike among men engaged on relief works in Auckland City and suburbs resulted in. something of a fiasco. Numbers of men certainly left their jobs, but they represented a very small proportion of those engaged on. the many undertakings inaugurated under the Unemployment Board's No. 5 scheme. Men who either failed to arrive at work or attended and then "downed tools" belonged to the element which had been instrumental in organising a strike on each of the jobs. There was an attempt to persuade men unwilling to sacrifice their employment to leave their work, but the rosult of those agitator tactics was not notably successful.
