THE WORKLESS ARMY
AN OTAGO SCHEME POSITION VERY BAD Press Association. DUNEDIN, Thursday. Mr. Herbert, the secretary of the local Alliance of Labour, has been requested by the National Executive of the Alliance to ask the officers of the various Otago unions to keep a list of the men unemployed, also a record of how long they have been unemployed, and what work they are prepared to undertake. Mr Herbert states' that during the whole of his ten years’ experience as an official of the industrial labour movement, he has not seen things so bad as regards unemployment, and his organisation has a scheme afoot to organise co-operative parties of workers to perform work for the Government or public bodies which would be prepared to give them contracts at the current rates allowed by the Public Works Department.
