Wellington, January 21. Regarding the Ayrshire's hoys, Air La racy states that the Rural Workers' Union would supply funds to get the hoys here and find them work at proper wages. All boys will he placed in position in keeping with their ability and at wages which would be remunerative. .During summer time, competent farm labourers could easily earn ■2ns per week. Organised labour in New Zealand guaranteed immigrants these positions, and if not available would keep them until employment was found; failing this would supply fines back to England, and thus prove that cheap labour as imported by the Government is not required here. Mr Massoy, interviewed, said he bad no personal knowledge of tin* matter. The wage (7s 6d) was understood to be the minimum, and if worth more the lads would get it. He was sure satisfactory arrangements had been made in England. The boys were only bound for a year, but the employer was bound to give employment for three years if so desired.
