STAND-DOWN WEEK
PLANS FOR ABOLITION. (Prom Our Parliamentary Special.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Unemployment Board, which has hitherto been severely limited in its weekly allocations for relief works, having not more than -£(30,000 available for each period, is now completing its jilans for effectively spending a- larger weekly sum after May 1, when authority is given in amending legislation to quadruple the form-
or wage-tax. Not only does improved revenue enable a more permanent type, of work to bo undertaken, but it is thought that the board’s plans include also a liberalisation of conditions, the most important being the abolition of the stand-down' week. While the improvement in rates, if any, would be slight, it is certain that continuity of employment would be provided.
