The Auckland Unemployed. [BY TELEGRAPH— " STAR " PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.]

Wellington, June 5. In conversation with the Minister of Public, Works, he informed me that he was again in communication with the Mayor of Auckland respecting the unemployed in that place, and that relief would be given to any special cases of distress. As showing how the unem-, ; ployed are prejudiced by regular agitators, 1 I may say that I drew attention to a press- telegram from Auckland giving particulars (of a meeting of unemployed, in.. Auckland, when Mr. Richardson, who evidently does not think, the, agitation represented genuine distress, replied. "Ohl, it is only that man.Garrard again."' Mr Kichardson (subsequently said,.he hoped' matters' were not as badias represented, and said he had contracts prepared for, several email works that would be commenced immediately', and would give employment to a considerable number of men. ; r>
