SUSTENANCE PAPERS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Is it not time that the men stood together and refused to sign any more of these obnoxious weekly sustenance papers? The positions of these people do not change every week. The men cannot call, their lives their own, what with Unemployment Board forms every two months and other papers to sign every week. What is the matter with the men in Dunedin? Most of them took part in the struggle that raged from 1914 to 1918, and yet they are frightened to open their months now to ask for their dtiosl The leaders promised the papers would be done away with. Well, men, see they keep their promise It is an insult to the men and their families to have to give the full history of their doings every week. It would bo a good idea instead of all these weekly papers to put a man to live' with each family, and then he could give perhaps a more detailed account of the happenings in each sustenance man’s house than they already ask one to state on paper.—l am. etc., June 15. No Papers.
