UNEMPLOYMENT

PROGRESS LEAGUE REPORT. A renort on unemployment was presenYediTo . the Central Progress League last night by the secretary (Mr. G. Mitchelk M.P.). The report will be discussed fully at. the next meeting tf the league. "The unemp)dycd question has been well before the members and needs no further comment relative to the city," states tho Tejiort. "According to the Acting-Prime Minister there are also, largo numbers of unemployed in the Hawke's Bav district, and also, I believe, in other centres. But with the dairying nnd other industries starting, and the general lalxmr needed in the spring, things should be better in the country fjom now onwards. The; question of raising money to provide work for the city unemployed was taken up by tho Civic T/eagne, and the people, are being asked for money to carry out certain works and give relief to deserving cases.. But. this relief work ,is exclusively for our own residents. A general flocking to the city to seek work only 'accentuates the housing and other difficulties we aro faced with, besides which it is not the duty of our city to provide for the unemployed from outside. The onus is on residents in other districts to take such steps as will provide for their loc.nl unemployed in whatever way they think best. Tho country never required the work of man more than to-day. nor was there ever a period when we could less afford tho criminal waste of unemployment. '1 hey must live, either by charity or . work. But if those in authority have a duty to provide work, on the other hand it is the duty of those employed to give a fair return for what they receive. The day of 'going slow’ by anybody has passed."
