UNEMPLOYMENT COMMITTEE.
(To the Editor). Sir I was very pleased that the members of our local unemployment committee, • particularly those .members who are on relief and subsidies, had their little say to Mr Jessep to-day, especially as they represented about 5 per cent of relief workers. I was also pleased that genuine representation was made on behalf bf|the rest as it would' have been rath|r| humiliating, say for a certain member to ask why the’Board recently granted lnm a milliner subsidy on the ground that it had been applied for by more energetic and experienced men, but was declined on the grounds that it had been thoroughly Now Sl x'thfnk that- the relief workers have had enough of these self-elected conservative-labour representatives on the committee, and, judging y 10 feeling of the relief workers generally, a drastic change is about to take place. I would like to tell the chosen lew who have been sitting on the . social rail with foot embedded firmly on botn sides that in future they, will have to depend on the plums from one side only. I am, etc. *•- 5 COALITIONIST. Hokitika, March 7,-1833.
