RELIEF WORKERS
HOLIDAY CONCESSIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, November 7. Replying to a question in the House to-day, the Hon. Adam Hamilton said it had been decided that practically the same arrangements as had been made for the last Christmas and New Year period would operate this year so far as relief workers were concerned. Details had riot yet been completed, but it was anticipated that a circular outlining the whole of the arrangements would be issued this week to certifying officers throughout the Dominion. So far as railway travel was concerned, relief workers in other than standard public works camp and also gold prospectors who were working away from home would be granted quarter rates for the railway journey when proceeding to and from their homes. Where railway facilities were not available the Unemployment Board would adopt the procedure in operation last year and meet half the return fare.
