Instances were given of married men going on relief jobs and coming off in debt. The Mayor (Mr J. Vigor-Brown) expressed the opinion that relief of unemployment was a problem for the Government. Speakers instanced the influx of immigrants as one of the main causes of unemployment. It was said that scrub cutting work was now offering on farms, and modern machinery was obviating the necessity for wharf labourers for the handling of coal, oil and other products.
