CORRESPONDENCE.
UNEMPLOYMENT. (To the Editor.) We hear a lot of talk about unemployment now-a-days, and means and ways of dealing with it, but there are cases which are not to be pitied, while others are of a very different kind. While in New Plymouth last week the following case came under my notice: A young man was out of work, and, seeing a job in the country advertised, went to inquire, and was at once employed and is well satisfied. A neighbor of his employer also wanted a young fellow, so the young employee went to town (New Plymouth) and advised a mate of his, who was unemployed, to come out and get the job. Out he went, and, after looking at hie waiting job, remarked to his employed mate: “This is no good to me; it is too far from town.” The distance was six miles. So you see that’s what the different unemployed committees need to watch, and, Instead of gathering them in the towns, they should force them into the country.— I am, etc., SETTLER. Lowgarth, September 4.
