"POOR OLD DIGGER"
EARNINGS RESTRICTED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HASTINGS, This Day.
When it was pointed out at a meeting of the local Unemployment Committee last night that returned soldiers with a pension could not under the Act earn more on relief work than would bring their earnings, with the pension, to a maximum of £.2 10s a week, one member remarked that ho was under the impression that soldiers' pensions were inalienable. He added: "Here the Government is taking it out of the poor old Digger already."
