TRANSFER OF WORKERS
UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
AUCKLAND INDIGNANT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
Much indignation has been aroused amongst Auckland local todies by a report that 200 unmarried unemployed men are to be transferred from Wellington to drainage improvement works near Pukekohe.
Suburban Mayors said that the Unemployment Board was showing tremendous weakness by such action, that many men in Auckland had completed all the work that could be given, them here, and that drainage jobs were being relied on as an avenue of future employment. They asked who would bear the cost of transport and whether that cost would not result in less work being available. The point was also made that when the drainage work was completed the men would inevitably drift into Auckland.
