MEAGRE WAGE PLUS CHARITY DEMORALISING

AUCKLAND COMMITTEE'S RESOLUTION fPRR United Press Association,] AUCKLAND, September 5. The Auckland Metropolitan Unemployment Relief Committee to-day passed the following resolution: — “The committee views with grave concern a continuance of the present system of employing thousands of ablebodied men at the existing low rate of wages, which is inadequate to maintain the workers and their families at a reasonable standard of comfort, and compels them to resort to charity. This unsatisfactory’ system which has now continued for several years is having a most harmful and demoralising effect upon botli the men and their dependents, and it has necessitated the organising of a system of charitable relief, which is growing and extending throughout the community and having a detrimental influence on our national life.

“ While appreciating the past efforts of the Government to extemporise for relieving unemployment, we consider that the time has arrived for discontinuing the present system and substituting it by making provision for ’every able-bodied man to have an opportunity’ of earning a living wage.’-
