AUSTRALIA’S UNEMPLOYED.
POSITION BECOMING WORSE. ALL STATES AFFECTED. By Telegraph.—Tress Assn —Copyright. Received August 11, 8.10 p.m. Sydney, August 11. Unemployment is growing more prevalent in Sydney and other industrial centres. The trouble has been increased by the Federal Government discharging large numbers at the Cockatoo dock and Lithgow small arms factory, and other employments, and by the Governments of the various States economising through public works and other channels. Similarly private employers, owing to the slackness of business and the constant demands for higher wages with shorter hours, are reducing expenses and shortening hands wherever possible.
All the States are more or less affected. Unemployed demonstrations are taking place in various cities and the papers teem with appeals to supplement the already generous Government aid for distressed crowds of workless and allegedly starving women and children. In Sydney high rents are forcing families in the industrial suburbs to pack like sardines.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
