REINSTATEMENT ORDERED OF MEN REFUSING WORK
— By Telegraph — Copyrighl)
Patea, Saturday. The Patea Unemployment Committee was recently asked to reinstate eight men who, baving refused to aeoept work at tlie freezing works, were t'truck off the unemployment register. The committee referred the request to the Unemployment Board, wliich ordered their reinstatement. The decision has aroused adverse comment in Patea and Hawera. Mr. A. Christiansen, chairman of the Patea committee, said in an interview with the Hawera Star, that the board's acton called for an explanarion. It was absolutely ridiculous the way the board chopped and changed its policy. Mr. J. E. Campbell, honorary unemployment officer at Hawera, also said an explanation was called for, as Ihe decision was contrary to the board's eirculated regulations. The board's decision has been condemned in other quarters on the grounds that it is allowing freezing workers to utilise the unemployment funds as a strike fund.
