WHITE LABOUR FOR QUEENSLAND.
Press Association—Copyright. London, April 17. Mr W. M. Hughes is at present in Vienna trying to engage several hundred labourers for the Queensland sugar plantations and is offering free passages to Queensland. His overtures to engago men in Italy failed. The Immigrants' Office in connection with the Colonial Office warns British emigrants to remember the climatic conditions of the sugar farms in North Queensland, and considers it very questionable whether they would be able to work under the tropical conditions. .Recruiting for ordinary farm labourers is proceeding satisfactorily but thero have been many defections since the conditions were fully explained.
