Wellmgton, Friday. Relief for unemployed women will be continued during the Christmas holidays according to an announcement made hy th> acting-Minister of Employment, the Hon. A. Hamilton, in the House of Representatives this morning, in reply to an urgent question by Mr. W. E. Parry (Labour, Auckland Central), who asked if it was the intention of th'e MinisteP to treat unemployed women during the Christmas holidays in regard to the granting of a fortnight's pay as he was treating men, and if not what he proposed to do to assist unemployed women during Christmas. "I would like to tell Mr. Parry that unemployed women are in a different category to men.

A Labour Member: Women's unemployment eommittees are useless.
