MELBOURNE UNEMPLOYED.
THREATEN TO GIVE THE DUKE AN EYE-OPENER.
DEPUTATION TO THE GOVERNOR.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, April 3. A deputation of unemployed waited upon Lord Hopetoun and complained that they had not been properly treated by the Government. They threatened to make a counter demonstration on the Duke’s arrival, and show him that if half the people are rejoicing the other half is suffering, starving and moneyless. Lord Hopetoun reminded them that he had no official connection with the Government. He sympathised with them, and said he would bring individual cases of severe distress under the Ministers’ notice.
