Between Two Stools
UNEMPLOYED AS CLERKS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Last Night. A protest meeting is being held this afternoon by men from the unemployed ranks who were engaged as clerks on the Employment Bureau and Labour Department staffs and w’ho have been eliminated from the benefits of the Christmas bonus for unemployed. It is estimated there arc about 120 sue-h men in Auckland and a total of 1000 in the four centres. “We fall between two stools,” said one of the men to-day. “When there’s something to the advantage of civil servants we are told we are unemployed men and not eligible, and when there is something to the advantage of the unemployed we’re told we’re fulltime clerks employed at standard rates. We don’t see why we shouldn’t share the Christmas bonus.”
