LOCAL AND GENERAL The men engaged on railway construction work on the linal section ot tlm Tangowahine-Dargavillo Hue, of which all hut about one mile and a-half is nearly completed, were given, a week’s notice yesterday morning. They resumed after the Christinas vacation, and so far as r i be ascertained have not been offered work elsewhere. The number of men affected is upwards of 160, and most of them arc married. A public meeting will be held on AI outlay to consider what action shall bo taken. Much indignation is expressed in the district, as less than a month's work would have given another five miles and a-half of completed railway and brought the terminus within one mile and a-hall of Dargavillc. The hope is still expressed Unit owing to the tact that the work is near completion it may bo resumed after March 31.

Several grants for unemployment relief reading works were approved by Cabinet yesterday, the total amount voted for the purpose being £0,250. The sum of ,£1.500 was authorised to be spout on (he Kururau road, in Taumarimui County. Attention is also to l)o given to the Opotiki-Alatawai road, in the Tanranga district, and £1.700 was authorised for this purpose. The formation of a road from Hick’s Bay to Cape Ruuawav is to ho canned out, and £I,BOO was authorised for this work. The road is in the Gisborne public works district. A vote of £1,250 was granted for work on the highway from Hanpiri dunction to Haupiri road, in Grey County.

“ lie is very plausible, and since coming to New Zealand he has gone undei three names. Ho was horn in England, and received a good education. Apparently his people arc well-to-do, and ho is a no'cr-do-well who had to leave the country.'’ Leslie .Morgan Draper, aged forty-two, was described in these terms hy Detective .Meiklejohu when he appeared before Mr It. \\. Tate, S.M., at New Plymouth, and admitted numerous crimes of false: pretences and theft involving over .9150. He received a sentence of two years' reformative detention. Beginning with the theft ol a cheque hook at. New Plymouth on November 1, Draper toured the North Island. Mil bin six weeks he collected money on twenty valueless cheques. A .misrepresentation of another kind—that he was expecting a remittance from England—was admitted hy him as a ruse to collect. .980 at Taunianmni a year ago.

Two hundred and fitly unemployed representing with their dependents about 1.000 people, mot in the Trades and Labour Hall, Invercargill, to consider their position. The meeting decided to appoint a deputation to wait on tho Minister of Internal All’airs (Mi de la i’errelle) in Invercargill, when the unemployed will assemble in Post Oilico square. In tho course of his address to tin' meeting Mr T. O'Byrne, a member ol the Cilv Council, said: “ M'ork must, ho rationed. M'hat w< are here io do to-day is to show to the Covenimeut, the Unemployment Hoard, and tho people of Now /calami that we arc in desperate straits. M’o have to show (hem (he distress which exists

even here. While your wives and families are in need of food and clothing nothing is being done.” Among the resolutions carried were the following:—“ That a deputation wait on Mr de la Perrelle and impress upon him the gravity of the position and need for immediate' assistance, and that the deputation be supported by a mass meeting of unemployed in Post Office square.” “ That representations be made to the Government and the Unemployment Board pointing out the distress that exists as a result of unemployment in Southland and urging immediate financial assistance.”

Lord Baden-Powell, Chief Scout and founder of the Boy Scout movement, intends to leave London for Now Zealand on January 16, and should arrive about the third week of February. It is stated authoritatively that there will bo only four reviews of Boy Scouts during his tour of the dominion—one in each of the four centres—at which the Chief Scout will take the salute. The programme provides for no Scout events in any of the provincial centres, and Lord Baden-Powell will not consent to any welcoming ceremonies at any railway stations through which he may pass during his tour. It is said that an effort was made to get the Chief Scout to accept a Scout welcome at Palmerston North as the centre of a wellpopulated district in which the Scout movement flourishes, but he declined the honour. An effort was also made to include in the programme a welcome by the New Zealand veterans of the South African War, who desired to honour the defender of Alafeking, but Lord Baden-Powell intimated in correspondence that he will only meet members of the 14th and 18th Hussar regiments with which he was associated during the South African campaign.
