UNEMPLOYMENT.
DISCUSSION AT CONFERENCE. OF N.Z. FARMERS' UNION. PRESENT ACT CRITICISED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.; WELLINGTON, July 9. Taking the view that the present economic conditions in New Zealand were extraordinary, the New Zealand Farmers' Union Conference arrived at the conclusion that an Unemployment Act was necessary as an emergency measure. Several remits having relation to unemployment were on the order paper, but the Conference first disposed of the question whether or not there should be an Act of some description. Delegates severely criticised the present Act, particularly as its provisions would affect the farming community, but all recognised the need for some measure to provide relief for the present large number of unemployed. The next business of the Confer'enee is to consider what form the Act should take.
