WELLINGTON WORKLESS
DEPUTATION TO MAYOR GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS MEN TIONED. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, June 13. A large deputation of unemployed, introduced by Mr W. P. McKeen, M.P., and headed by Mr F. Cornwall, president of the Trades and Labour Council, was received by the Mayor, Mr Troup, to-day. Both Mr Cornwall and Mr Cook, president of the Alliance of Labour, asked that a committee again be set up by local bodies, as was the case last year, to deal with the problem. In reply, the Mayor detailed the efforts already made towards relief. He thought that the City Council would shortly be able to absorb more men, but it could not meet the whole of the situation. The Government must assist in some degree and he understood the Prime Minister had proposals before him. Mr Troup said he hoped the situation would bo met within a fortnight.
