AN AWKWABD SYSTEM. CHANGE ÜBGED. ¥ > WELLINGTON, Friday,

Goldsmith) at a meeting, of the Wellington Unemployment Committee yesterday afternoon. “At present we don’t know where we are. The system is very awkward. If we could persuade the Government or the Unemployment Board to allow the work every week it would be a considerable help.”
Mr. F. Cornwell said that they had always opposed the dropping of one week in four. Men were thrown on to the Board and got behind in their rent.
It was decide 3 to make strong reprethe Government asking for the ingested alteration in the system. — (P.A.) ■
