UNEMPLOYMENT
MAYOR'S FUND IN WELLINGTON [l’bk United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, July 22. The mayor's fund for the. unemployed, which was started with the objective of £4,000 has readied over £6,500; but, notwithstanding the fact that hundreds of men have been given work, the number alleged to be unemployed is greater than ever. Yesterday 170 more names were given in. Tho inference is that outsiders are flocking into Wellington in the hope of sharing in the fund, or that men on casual jobs arc throwing them up to procure more permanent billets on relief works.
