RELIEF WORKERS
BAD CONDITIONS IN ROTORUA. (Per Press Association.) ROTORUA, March 21. At a well-attended public meeting, held at Rotorua last evening, a motion was carried, calling upon the Government to investigate the conditions under which relief workers are existing in the town, and expressing the opinion that the rates paid were insufficient to sustain them while doing hard work. Relief workers present at the meeting unanimously voted to continue the strike, which is at present in progress, as a protest against the conditions imposed in connection with work on the aerodrome. The men > have demonstrated by marching through the town, but are very orderly, and refrained from molesting some of their number in the outer district, who continued working. The Unemployment Board has refused to give the men work, unless they return to the aerodrome job, and this they have refused to do on present rates.
