When one hears so much talk about unemployment one would think that people would be glad enough to accept anything offering (says the Hawera “Star”). We are told that tb;?’’e are numerous cases of men unemployed refusing work, and those who make the offers soon feel that it is not any good trying to help them. An example of the refusals was given by a Hawera business man, who told a “Star” representative that he had been trying to secure the services of; two men to act as bailiffs on a certain farm. The nature ofl thje cuties was different from that of bailiff’s work in connection with house tenancies, and our informant stated that it was in no way of an objectionable character. In spite of this he had failed to find men to accept the offer, which was fpr £1 a day, comfibrtable conditions, good food, and return fares. Several unemployed mien were approached. Some wanted 30s a day and thd other conditions, but this amount was considered by our informant to be too high.
