UNEMPLOYMENT.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—While not wishing to detract in any way from the praiseworthy efforts that are being so successfully made to relieve unemployment in the town of New Plymouth, I should like to tell you that some three months ago .1 left my naune and address at the New Plymouth Government Labor Bureau asking for a man, either married or single, with wages up to £3 per week, for work on my farm in this locality, and that I never had one application either by letter or otherwise, and I venture to say my name is still on the employers’ list. It is such experiences as these that make country employers less sympathetic with townspeople’s efforts, and we also think that the unemployed would rather starve in the town than live in comfort in the country. —I am, etc., H. N. CHAPMAN. Warea, August 19.
