RELIEF CUTS AND BY-ELECTION.
(To the Editor.) Sir, I should like to refer to the outs in relief pay of the Hamilton unemployed and the Motueka by-elec-tion. Now that this by-election Is ‘drawing close I would like to know if tho unemployed relief workers of the Motueka electorate are getting full time or are they subject to cuts of from two and a half to three hours, the same as the Hamilton relief workers. At the last election in Hamilton some of the relief workers were going to get small farms, but I have taken particular notice that the ones who got the farms are still calling at the local labour office. Perhaps they call there for their cream cheques, and the Motueka relief workers will get apple or hop farms, seeing that part Is a good place for that kind of farming.—l am, etc., HALF CUT.
