THE UNEMPLOYED
DEPUTATION TO MAYOR OF WELLINGTON. A SYMPATHETIC RECEPTION. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, June 13. A large deputation- of unemployed, introduced by Mr R. McKeen M.P. and headed by Mr F. Cornwell, president of the Trades and Labour Council, was received by the Mayor, Mr G. Troup to-day. Both Messrs Cornwell and Cook, president of the Alliance of Labour, asked that a committee again be set up by local bodies as was the case last year to deal with the problem. In reply, the Mayor detailed efforts already made towards relief. He said he thought that the City Council would shortly be able to absorb more men but it could not meet the whole of the situation. The Government must assist in some degree and he understood the Prime Minister had proposals before him. Mr Troup said he hoped the situation would be met within a fortnight.
