PENINSULA

|j Xlio Labour Department in Gis- | Jptnc has received intimation tli a t I; are vacancies for about one I lumdrcd men from tki s district for I trco-plauting -work ot Taiipo and i Xairiia. on the .Auckland peninsula. h The call is for 'Single men. who must | te finite fit. The men (will live in ? t a raps, and fares will be paid from | Gisborne to the scene, of the work. I The men will be "found” and should | te able to earn up to 10s' a week. I Applications arc invited at once. f Though so far no official intimalion in ths respect is to hand, there i s little doubt that if the men refuse to go to these camps tlio auth-i critics will take it as an indication that they are not in urgent need of relief. This aspect was made clear tv the deputy-chairman 'oj tho, AmarJ. Mr. Jossep hist week, and fit is more than probable that tlio’ snuio attitude will be taken, in Gisborne. In regard to married men, offers have been received from several farmers to sot up camps for men of thi s class, who 'Should be able to make slightly better wages than if they remained iu town. Several schemes could be utilised. The average earnings would he about 375. Bd a week, according to the class of men. The work to be done is mostly scrub-cutting or draining. In every case the farmers will find ac-: eoinmodation and tools and pay insurance. and. in some cases, meat will be provided, and in other cases all food. If those schemes could be brught to fruition it is quite likely that work could ho found for at least one hundred men. When .work in or near the borough becomes scarce, as it must do sooner or later, no doubt- the men will take this country work.
