THE UNEMPLOYED.
deputation to ministers. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington. Mav 1. A deputation from the Central Progress League interviewed Messrs. Massey , Coates and Anderson, concerning unemployment. They urged that immigration should stop while there were men out of work in the country, and that public works should be speeded up so as to provide work, as the position was bad now and would become worse before the winter. Mr. Massey stated that the last big shipment of immigrants had arrived, and there would be no more big shipments before the spring. The <»overnment had sent 1105 memployed to various public works, and would be employing more. New Zealand could not close its doors entirely '*4 to the British, who were now experiencing great difficulties. Immigrants all halped the country to bear the burden of debt. Assurance was given that works would be commenced to provide for a certain number of able-bodied men and a smaller number unable to do hard work, but Mr. Massey emphasised that the local bodies who had raised loans must do their share.
