THE UNEMPLOYED.
By Telegraph —Press Association. DUNEDIN, July 25. At a special meeting of the Otago Trades and Labor Counc*33 T last night, the executive submitted a report on the question of unemployment, which stated that the executive was of opinion that the matter can only be Bolved through industry being organised on scientific lines, having as a basis production for use instead of profit, and that this can only be brought about by instruments of production distribution, and exchange being in the hands of the State. The present commercial system was the cause of the present unemployment with its attendant evils. The executive recommends that a strong effort be made to secure control of political machinery, and that the time is opportune for an energetic campaign amongst organised workers with a view to creating a Labor Party in Parliament.
