CHRISTCHURCH UNEMPLOYED.
By Telegraph—Pres3 Association. J CHRISTCHURCH, July 3. A good many unemployed gotjjobs privately, and noire little gardening work will be available, but the weather prevents men being sent to Broken River on Monday. A good number decline the Government's offer of work there at an average o# 8s 6d per day, not caring to leave the city. They say the money could not maintain two homes, one in the city, the other at the works. Mr T. E. Taylor, M.P., who, with tha other city and district members, is doing ail possible to find work for the men, says the men ought to be glad to get work, anything or anywhere, if their cases are really as necessitous as made out. Farmers have no work for the ordinary labourer at this time of the year, except gorse-cutting, and there is nat much of that offering.
