RENT STRIKE PROPOSAL.
Circular Issued to Relief Workers. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, January 12. A typewritten circular signed “ The United Front Organising Committe,” has been sent round to all relief jobs in Auckland, urging the workers to carry out the decisions of a recent conference in Wellington. The aims of the organisation are said to be in the direction of a national rent strike, the nonpayment of the next quarterly unemployment levy, and payment of sustenance without work. It was learned to-day that among some of the men there is a feeling of unrest and a tendency to go slow, while others are working normally. The officer in charge of unemployment said that the Unemployment Board would stand behind any local body which took action to combat a “go slow ” policy. There had been definite indications of what was being attempted, and a strict watch would be kept.
