WORK FOR THE WORKLESS.

500 UNEMPLOYED

Per Press Asociation. CHRISTCHURCH, June 10. A conference of delegates of the local bodies of the Christchurch district was held to-day and discussed matters connected with finding work for the workless. The Mayor of Christchurch presided, and stated that he had received no reply from the Prime Minister to his telegram asking if the Government would subsidise pound for pound the works started by local authorities for the purpose of absorbing the unemployed. It was decided to further communicate with Sir Joseph Ward by telegraph and adjourn the conference till a reply had been received. Mr. L. R. Wilson, secretary of the unemployment committee, stated he had the names of 208 workless men on his list. Of these one hundred were married with families, ranging from one child to fourteen. In the last-nam-ed case five children were earning something. He declared there were at least 500 men in Christchurch out of work. The opinion was expressed by delegates that the General Labourers' Union should issue permits to incompetent men to work for seven shillings a day. and one speaker advocated that this rate be paid a 1 ! round in order not to attract the un«riplnyed from other parts. c
