"BETWEEN TWO STOOLS"
UNEMPLOYED AS CLERKS
NO CHRISTMAS BONUS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
A protest meeting is being held this afternoon by men from the unemployed ranks who were engaged as clerks on the Employment Bureau and Labour Department staffs and who have been eliminated from the benefits of the Christmas bonus for unemployed. It is estimated there ' are about 120 such men in Auckland and a total of 1000 in the four centres.
"We fall between two stools," said one of the men today. "When there's something to the advantage of civil servants we are told we are unemployed men and not eligible, and when thero is something to the advantage of the unemployed we're, told we're full-time clerks employed at standard rates..We don't see why we shouldn't share the Christmas bonus."
