UNEMPLOYED VICTORIAN TIMBER WORKERS
EFFORT TO FIND JOBS IN NEW ZEALAND EFFECTS OF BUSHFIRES I United Press Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. A determined effort is being made by timber workers’ organisations in New Zealand, in co-operation with the Sawmillers’ Federation to find employment in the Dominion for some millhands and bushworkers who have been thrown out of woik by the recent Victorian bushftres. A cablegram received by Mr F. Craig, secretary of the Auckland Timberworkers’ Unions, from Mr W. Scanlon, secretary of the Victorian Union, in reply to an offer of possible assistance, states that 1000 men in the timber industry in Victoria are unemployed and asks if it is possible to find jobs for some of these men in New Zealand. The cable also says that financial assistance would be much appreciated. It is thought that the prospects are good for finding jobs for at least 100 men from Victoria.
