RE UNEMPLOYMENT WORK. Sir, —At the meeting in Whiteley Hall last Tuesday evening in connection with relief for the unemployed, a statement was made by a man in the audience that one of the men engaged on the relief work last year (presumably at the High School gully) had fainted several times through the want of nourishment, and then had been put off as unfit for work. The inference given was that this man was penalised through misfortune. Investigations -have been made, and this report seems quite unfounded, and the ccmmittee challenge the man who made the statement to substantiate it.—l am, etc.,
