Immigration
COLONIAL METHODS UNPOPULAR. COMPLAINTS FROM HOME EMPLOYERS. rimes-Sydney Sun Services. Received 23, 5.40 p.m. London, March 22. Regarding the complaints of mistresses against the immigration circulars addressed to domestics by the New South Wales and Victorian State departments, it is officially explained that the Victorian office hopes to despatch 15,000 emigrants in 1914. Owing to the severe winter in Canada, possibly emigrants will be chary of going overseas. Canadian figures have fallen by 70 per cent, as compared with the, first two months of 1913, and Australian figures by 50 per cent. Circular letters have been addressed to tenant farmers and formhands in the provinces, and a special letter to cooks in the households of the south-western suburbs. Thousands have been issued. The New Zealand Department says: "We never approach anybody already employed, and never do. any surreptitious touting. We are content with legitimate advertising.''
