MEN WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN STRONG
GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY LBy Telegraph—Press Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. “We have a large residue of men who, as a result of bad times, have never been strong and have never done hard skilled labour. If empoyers will not take these men, we, the Government, must create some work that will absorb them.” This statement was made by the Hon. W. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs, in receiving a deputation from the Manurewa Town Board, seeking endorsement of an application to the Labour Department for a reduction, if necessary, in the number of unemployed men that had to be engaged weekly in connection with the Board’s water supply scheme, in order to obtain a subsidy.
The Minister assured the deputation that he would give every possible help and would discuss the matter with the Minister of Labour.
