POINTS FROM LETTERS
"Observer" protests against art union promoters continuing to notify the original closing date when an extension has been granted. Writing at length on the consequences of the Unemployment Act, "G.H." submits that the earnings permitted under the relief schemes nre only £10 ]'2s for nine weeks (including a fortnight when tlic relief worker is out of work). P.ations for n family of ,six fur this time at 7s ;i week each will cost ;ii.lß JSs, leaving only Ms for all other expenses. This must have a demoralising effect on the men affected, aa they cannot meet tlieir obligations. Further, the limitation of four (.lays' work in a week will clicounigu men to loaf about.
