INDUSTRIES CAMPAIGN

ADDRESS TO MAORIS

The lecture campaign to be conducted by Miss Ellen Melville, in her association with- 4he Auckland Manufacturers’ Association in advancing support of Kew Zealand’s industries, will apply even to the Maori residents of Auckland.

Xext Thursday evening Miss Mel- j vllle is to address members of the 1 Akarana Maori Association on the necessity of buying New Zealand rnanu- . factures in order to provide employ- { ment for the workers of the Domin- i ion, instead of sending New Zealand 1 money oversea.

This lecture is connected with a ! decision reached by the association last evening, when the problem of unemployment was discussed. In consid- j ering the poor accommodation pro- ’ vided for the unemployed who gather claily outside the Government Labour i Bureau, the association’s interest lav : in the knowledge that many Maoris are among the workless of tile city. I Dissatisfaction at the lack of shelter j for the men applying for work was 1 expressed, and the secretary, Mr. Patrick Smyth, was instructed to write i tc the Minister of Labour, the Hon. S. G. Smith, suggesting that reasonable- ; comfortable facilities should bo made I available to the unemployed men.
