REPAYMENT OF SUBSIDY
OBJECTION BY MINERS. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, November 7. The Goldfield and Mines Committee, reporting to the House on a number oi petitions from Hauraki miners asking for an inquiry into the method of assistance to unemployed miners by the Unemployment Board, recommended the petitions to the Government for consideration, with a further recommendation that the deputy chairman of the Unemployment Board, the Under Secretary for Mines and the member for the district should confer with the parties with a view to a settlemen. Mr A. M. Samuel (Ind. C., Thames' said that the committee’s recommendation would be well received by the petitioners. He said the stipulation that assisted gold miners should have to submit to a deduction of 10 per cent, of all their earnings towards the repayment of the subsidy did not seem fair when compared with the No. 10 (building subsidy) scheme. He hoped that the Government would discontinue its pin-pricking tactics. Mr M. J. Savage, Leader of the Opposition, supported Mr Samuel’s remarks, and caid the feeling throughout the Dominion was that the miners should not be called upon to repay the subsidy.
