WORKLESS WOMEN
CO-ORDINATION OF RELIEF, COMMITTEE MEETS TO-DAP. Wellington, June 77, The committee set up by the Unemployment Board to investigate and report on relief measures among workless women will meet in Wellington to. morrow, and it is expected that its report, embodying suggestions framed as the result of a Dominion-wide tour, will be completed early next week. Mr H. D. Thomson, Under-Secretary for the Immigration Department, is chairman of the committee, and the members are: Mrs Marshall MacDonald (Dunedin), Miss B. E. Carnachan (Auckland) and Mrs C. K. Wilson (Piopio), a prominent member of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union.
For the past live weeks the women members of the committee have been touring New Zealand. The committee was set up by the board for the purpose of conferring with local unem. ployment relief organisations in various parts of the country. It is understood that the proposal !n the mind of the board is not so much, the replacement of existing organisations as their co-ordination. The. principle upon which the future activities will probably be based will be that relief will be given less overlappingthan in the past.
