v rftf"Y° ut ' t°'egram reference to Tjle unemployed lias been received. In respect to the present communication, I understand that the members for tbe district were also to advise. I am very mueh pained indeed to hear that some of the mon are said to be starving. Surely in your official position, and with the precedent established in respect to relief works, the local authorities of Christchurch, if the statement is correct, will not permit this reproach to wist for a day. I hayo forwarded your telegram to the Minister of Labour, and have asked him to compupipate with tbe labour agent at Christchurch. I still adhere to the ppnrse ivliich 1 suggested to the deputation at Christchurch at the beginning of November.— fy J, jSpppos."
