WORK REFUSED: THREATS OFFERED.
:; - £Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, Dec. 14. Some amusing scenes took place between the unemployed and the Charitable Aid Board Committee. One man. (Black), declined work at Papatoitoi, and the Committee would do nothing for him. He states he will convene a meeting of the unemployed to-day, and bearing a flag showing the words " Starvation Army." | parade them twice a day in Queen street, ; frightening capital and population from our shores. Rintoul, the author of a letter to Government respecting the conduct of the Waitemata Council, refused stone-break-ing. He said that when he took to stonebreaking he would do so at Mount Eden as a criminal. The Board could keep its stone-breaking for those who were fonder of it than he was. Mr Mays, as representing the WaiteniataCounty Council, says that he would not agree to a single man who put his name to the letter having work at Waitakerei. 1 These men had been silent till all the money | waß spent, and then turned round and made baseless accusations to Government against the Council which had relieved them.
