THE LABOUR MARKET.
WORK BECOMING PLENTIFUL. WELLINGTON, September 1. The unemployment difficulty is rapidly on the mend, judging by the facts in possession of the Hon. J. A. MillaT (Minister of Labour). Air Millar informed a NewZealand Times representative to-day that work was getting much more plentiful. Reports received from the Labour Department branches all over the country indicated that the labour market was becoming normal again. So the crisis is over? queried the press* man. " There never iras any crisis," answered Mr Millar. " A slight increase of unemployment this winter was accentuated by inducements to conio to town, thus concentrating tha out-of-works, at two or three centres. Whatever little difficulty, there was is disappearing, and the outlook is favourable for a good spring. Men are leaving the public works all the time, because they are able to find other employment."
