Wellington, Feb. 6.
Referring to allegations made regarding the lads brought to the Dominion under the auspices of Mr. Sedgwick. the Hon. J. A. Millar. Minister for Labour, said there was no foundation for the statement that they are of an undesirable class. There was not one of them a slum lad, that is, not one of them was criminally tainted. The department possessed a complete record regarding the previous history of each lad, giving the employment he followed and the wages received, and also details regarding environment. Personally, the Minister did not think that more lads should be brought out until the experiment had been tested for twelve months.
