UNEMPLOYMENT
(To tho Editor of tho Herald.) .Sir, —Your heading “Unfair to local mou,” under which we read of our .Mayor. Mr. Coleman, doing his host 1o stir up the Minister on India 1 1! of mu local unemployed, seems to me to Ik> somewhat short. Our (local) unemployed want work. That is only one side. Tho whole district wants them In have work. AVliat will our Aid Board do with the ever-increasing demand? Can we, the ratepayers,' stand il Charity begins n! home. Let, us help our Mayor and support him in his ell'ort to place our own men, many born and brought up among us, and willing to work. What is th(> use. nl‘ our men getting their names on the hook only lo Hud whole gangs brought from outside. Our local Labor Bureau is only a farce. Men go and put their names down till they are tired of doing it. .Business men cannot get their money if the poor have not got it. We ratepayers cannot stand Ihc strain of idle men. Then let us till back up the Mayor for our local unemployed.—Yours, etc., P, AT UTAH! ItATEPAYKB.
