WELLINGTON RELIEF FOR UNEMPLOYED
CITY COUNCIL’S EFFORTS Press Association. WELLINGTON, Monday. A large deputation of unemployed, introduced by Mr. R. McKeen, M.P., and headed by Mr. F. Cornwell, president of the Trades and Labotir Council, was received by the Mayor, Mr. G. A. Troup, to-day. Both Mr. Cornwell and Mr. A. Cook, president of the Alliance of Labour, asked that a committee again be set up by the local bodies, as was the case last year, to deal with the problem. In reply the Mayor detailed efforts already made toward relief. He thought that the city council would shortly be able to absorb more men, but it could not meet the whole of the situation. The Government must assist in some degree, and he understood the Prime Minister had proposals before him. Mr. Troup hoped that the situation would be met within a fortnight.
