BOY IMMIGRANTS.
Some months back the Department of Labour in New Zealand addressed the various A. and P. Associations and Farmers' Unions in the Dominion relative to a proposal to introduce city lads from the Old Country for employment upon the farms of New Zealand. The proposal was at once strenuously opposed by the Trades Council's on~the ground that it would tend to still further glut the labour market, and by farming combinatiozis on the
ground that the class of lads to be introduced would be useless to the farmer. Notwithstanding this opposition, it is reported that the Government has arranged for a party of youthful immigrants from the cities of the Old Country, and has offered to bring them to the Dominion for £B, and to find them situations. The result of the experiment, which is daring, to say the least of it, will be watched with considerable interest by the Labour Party.
