SKILLED MEN IN OWN TRADES. JOHNSONVILLE BOARD ACTS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Dec. 13. The Johnsonville Town Board last night empowered the chairman of the works committee to refuse work to men who had refused labour allotted to them.. The motion arose from a report that a certain section of the unemployed relief workers would refuse work in their own trades. It was stated that, a little skilled trade work was required to keep the relief workers in labour and that the board was unable to pay the award rates for skilled workmen.
