RELIEF WORKERS
HASTINGS STRIKE. NO SETTLEMENT. (Per United Press Association.) Hastings, September 23. The Mayor (Mr G. F. Roach) announced at a meeting of the Unemployment Committee to-night the receipt of a telegram from the Unemployment Board stating that it could not accede to the local relief workers’ request that the original No. 5 Scheme should be reverted to. The board explained that the present arrangement applied to the whole Dominion and there was no possibility of extending the board’s income to allow the reversion to the old daily rate. The committee decided to request the board to make city conditions apply to Hastings. The men are still on strike and do not show any inclination to relax their determination. At a meeting at Havelock North the unemployed decided by 32 to 18 votes not to join the strike.
