THE UNEMPLOYED
1 ' ♦ SPEECH. BY MB-.JOHN BURNS, Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, 'October 26. (Received Oct. 26, at 10.35 p.m.) Mr John JWhs, .speaking at Mossley, emphasised the fact that his department during the last three years iiad urged tli© municipalities to adopt the execution of works in times of slackness. He eulogised their ready response, tut contended that relief works on a. great and recurring scale were stereotyping the evils of casual employment and acted as an incentive to the thriftless and as a bonus to "blacklegs." There was no reason why, with co-ordination and proper distribution, of work, unemployment should; as far as btate or municipal workers wcro concerned, exceed. 2 or 3 per cent. MR HARDIETS CENSURE MOTION. _ LONDON, October 25. Mt K<m Hardie'e proposed censure motion on the Government, is due to its exclusion of the dght-to-work theory from its unemployed proposals.
