TREATMENT OF MEN
COMPARISON • MADE
Reference to the treatment of relief workers in Wellington, compared with treatment elsewhere was made by Mr. J. I. Goldsmith, chairman of the Wei-
■ lington Unemployment Committee, when replying to complaints made to the committee yesterday afternoon. The complaint was mado that workers, members of the men's committee, had been transferred to another job, but Mr. Goldsmith replied that transference from, one job to another could not be called victimisation. He said that he had just completed a tour of tho Korth Island, and while away he had _ investigated methods of administration in other .places. ' There was no committee in Auckland, where matters were controlled by officers of the Labour Department, who received their instructions from .the Unemployment Board and carried them out to the letter. If a man had not been registered the full time, nothing was done for him, neither was anything done in the way of providing boots or socks. No food was given out as at the Mayor's relief depot in Dixon street. Mr. Goldsmith said he thought that the staff at Buckle street was to be highly commended.
