The members of the police force are very active in selling tickets for the Rugby football match between the Police ana the Law, which is to take place at Tahuna Park on Saturday, the _ proceeds to be devoted to the relief of distress in Dunedin and suburbs amongst the unemployed during the winter of 1933. An amusing incident was noticed in this connection at the Railway _ Station yesterday, when a stalwart policeman, fittingly enough, buttonholed Mr A. Hamilton, Acting-Minister of Employment, and asked him to buy a ticket for the match. Mr Hamilton smilingly responded. FUNDS FOR GREEN ISLAND The Mayor of Green Island (Mr W. T. Smellie) and the town clerk (Mr A. L. Burk) waited on the ActingiMinister of Employment (Mr A, Hamillton). who-was a passenger for the north by the express, at the Railway Station yesterday, to place before him the need of a better allocation from the Unemployment Funds to assist the men in the Green Island district. It was stated that the allocation _ was not sufficient to give the men full time work this week. The Minister said he would look into the matter and see what could be done. ■' SEED POTATOES WANTED The Mayor (Mr R. S, Black) stated last night thgt there" was an urgent need for seed potatoes for the use of the unemployed. A few days ago he had received 102 sacks from Mr L. Friend, Gore, but from four to five tons more were required. A “ GO-SLOW " POLICY PROTEST AGAINST NEW CONDL < TIONS. (Peb United Pbess Ass&cxation. ) ASHBURTON, October 11. The relief workers in Ashburton are by no means satisfied with the new conditions imposed by the Unemployment Board, and to-day they inaugurated a “ goslow ” policy. Not all the workers are adhering to it, however. The decision to “go slow” was made at a largelyattended meeting of the men, only three voting against it. An official of the New Zealand Workers’ Union stated that the “goslow ” proposal would be discussed by his union on Monday, but he did not think the union would assist the relief workers in this way.
