THE DEPRESSION IN SYDNEY.

Sufferings of tlio Unemployed.

In consequence of certain representations mado to tho Colonial Secretary as to the

number of unemployed who could he found f sleeping in the Domain any night, Sub- E Inspector Hyam and Senior-Sergeants Pirie t and Robinson were instructed to make a search on Friday night, May 9th, and col- , lect information which would show tho true 1 state of affairs so far as the Domain was , concerned. The officers mentioned com menced their duties soon after midnight, ; and wero accompanied by some of the dele- ; gates for the unemployed. The first place j visited was some timber on tho eastern por- . tion of Circular Quay. A man was found < lying amongst tho timber. He was ; well dressed, said he had employment, ; but having takon a little drink had lain ( down where he was found. The party then ] proceeded to the western side of Lady Mac quarie's Chair. Hero seven men were found. They had not taken the trouble to select a dry place, but were lying upon damp, marshy ground, some being actually in water. Strangely enough, some of the mon had placed pieces of newspaper under them. ' Proceeding a little farther the officers came across a man who was lying in a tolerably well-protected cleft in a rock. He was aged, and not able to work. He claimed the place as his, and said he had been there for six teen months. On one shelf or ledge of rock there were found no less than twelve men and a boy. It was deemed wise to take charge of the boy, and his parents have been communicated with. At another place three men were found sleeping in a fissure in a rock. The "choir" was found to be occupied by seven men. In the vicinity of the chair one man was found who had before him some bushes, which he intended to use to shelter him. In two other cases the men had for coverings pieces of sugar matting. Altogether some 68 men and the boy previously mentioned were found exposed to the weather. The ages of tho men ranged from 19 to 75 years, tho majority being between 30 and 40 - 3 ears of age. Two described themselves as bootmakers, two as bakers, one as a tailor, one as an engine-fitter, and most of the others as labourers. One of the men was a paralytic, and has since been sent to the Liverpool Asylum. Of the 67 others very few came under the descriptive phrase of being "known to tho police." Of those not embraced in that term the police officers formed very favourable opinions, to the effect that they were genuine cases of actual distress, and that the men were able and willing to work, but had not been able to secure employment. The quality of the clothing of nearly every one of the unemployed was very interior. One man, aged 44 years, said he was a gardener ; he had a wife and 4 children in Now Zealand; he had been away for some months, and had neither been able to get employment nor to get back to his family. Two men Baid they came to this colony from America about nine weeks ago, but had not been able to get work. A number.of the unemployed assembled at the Prince Albert statue on Saturday afternoon, and having been formed in pro cession, marched to Belmore Park, proceed ing thither by way of Pitt-street. Six of the foremost men carried placards pasted on cardboard, and borne on short sticks. On each placard were the following words : — "We have no home, and are starving. We are willing to work." In another portion of the procession were six other men carrying placards, having upon them the words: "We are the unemployed." It is estimated that there were COO mon in the procession, which was accompanied by five men who carried cash-boxes; donations a ere received en route. On arriving at Belmore Park a meeting was held, and resolutions passed calling upon Government to relieve the distress, and to send back immi grants to the country whence they came. The men then marched back to the statue, proceeding via George-street. Some time after arrival at the statue an announcement was made to the effect that the cash-boxes had been opened at a committee meeting, and were found to contain £10 19s 5Jd. £6 of that money was distributed amongst the fathers of families which it was said were in circumstances of great distress; and it was intimated that the Government had allotted the old police barracks in Mac quarie-strcet as a place of refuge for such men as chose to go there. 110 were formed in marching order, and proceeded to the old police barracks, where they arrived about half-past seven o'clock. Police officers had been detailed for duty in the Domain to visit the haunts which were inspected on Saturday morning, with in structions to advise whomsoever they might find to repair- to the barracks. Sub-in spector Hyam, who was at the barracks, expected mon to drop in in twos and threes, and was quite unprepared for them arriving in a body. The first intimation he had of 1 the arrival of those who were to be com mitted to hU care was the command "Halt," followed immediately afterwards by the order "File in by twos." The bread and cheese which it had been intended to. serve out next morning were at once dis tributed, and a further supply was obtained. Most of the men remained to sleep -on the i premises, but as the floor space was not sufficient for more than about two-thirds of the number, the remainder had to lie upon the" verandahs, a sleeping place '■ which was not mnch superior to the caverns in the rocks. At the barracks, , however, the men were provided with, blankets, so that they were not quite so much exposed to the weather. All tho men wero exceedingly orderly, and having again, been supplied with bread and cheese, left the place before 5 minutes past 8 o'clock in the morning. On Sunday, evening the men returned to the barracks, and their numbers were reinforced. They wera again supplied with bread and cheese and blankets. At 10 o'clock there were .138 men lying upon the doors of, the barracks and verandah. Amongst the number was a large propor tion of young men. Five were new arrivals, one having landed in Tasmania, one in Queensland, and three in New South Wales during the last six months. Mon Wlio "Want* no Work to Do." There can be no doubt (says the "Sydney Morning Herald ") that- the labour • market is at present in an exceedingly dull state, and that many artisans and others , are unable to obtain the kind of employ ment to which they have been accustomed. It is equally true that a large number of the unemployed prefer loitering about the statue or marching in procession to ac cepting work when it is offered them. In . yesterday's issue of this journal it was stated that the Works Department had early on Saturday morning supplied dele gates for the unemployed with a list,of places at which 244 men could obtain em . ployment at once, at wages of 6s and 6s 6d per day. The fullest publicity was given to' the list, and a man was engaged during the whole of Saturday and Monday asking for the names of those who would form gangs to proceed to the places riamod ; and yet up to 5 o'clock last evening the total . number who had responded did not ex ceed 120, still leaving 124 vacancies. . An incident occurred in front of the Go . vernment Offices in Phillip-street yesterday morning which illustrates the: disposition of some of the men. On Saturday a gang of 11 was made up to proceed to Goulburn, and they were informed they would have to bo at the railway station that evening. Onlg 3ix, however, met MrGilliver Gee (the . working men's delegate) ot the station, and they , wore sent away by. traiti. At II o'clock yesterday morning, while Mr Gee was addressing a knot of people in Bridge street, he was accosted'by one of the unemployed, |Who asked .whether he had his railway pass. The delegate looked at the man, and, after think ing for a few' Beconds, remarked, " Oh, you are one of the men who ought to have gone to Goulburn on Saturday night?" The person addressed replied in the affirmative. "Then how," asked Mr Gee, " was it you did not meet me at the station, according to appoint ment ?" "I.was," replied,the unemployed, "walking up and down the, town with the procession." "What the hive Ito do with the procession^ and what' right had you,to take part in it after you had obtained employment?" The "unemployed" did wot reply to the very pertinent question, but went away without obtaining the rail way pass for which he had applied, Ii ~■... Early yesterday morning there were about the Government offices some 20 stone masons, who, it was said, were anxious to obtain employment. At a later .period of the day a contractor called,, and. said he Could give employment at LiyerpboJ'to 14 stonemasons, 25 quarrymen, and a Similar number of scabblers—all to be paid: the cur} tent rdte of.'wages. The . contractor onjy succeeded in obtaining eight stonemasons, and Mr Gee has-been authorised to engage for him2s!quariymen, and a similar nujn b6r offscabblers,'whh are. to be paid from' Ssto'9tfpetday of eijgbthourSj' .

LAKE ROAD DISTRICT.

The adjourned meeting of ratepayers was

held at the Lako School-room last evening. Mr Black, Chairman of the Board, presided and the advertisement convening the meet ing having been read, tho Secretary pre sented the statement of accounts as follows, the same having been duly audited:—

Receipts.—Balance on hand, £41 18s 9d ; rates, £186 5s 2d; Government grant, £300 • Waitemata County Council, £18 ; contribu tion from Mr Porter, £10; Burke and Mackay, for scoria, £6 19s 6d. Total, £563 3s sd.

Expenditure.—MainandNorthcote Roads £310 4s 9d ; road south and east of Lake) £104 7s ; landing at Lake Beach, £8 15s • Pupuke Road, £15 10s; Auburn-street £18 10s 6d; Seaview Road, £14 12s 6d- O'Neill's Road, £13 6s 6d;'Archer's Road,' £8; pipes for culverts on various roads £10 3s ; printing and advertising, £5 12a • election expenses, Juno, 18S3, £4 10s; Sec retary's salary, £5 ; commission to Collector £7 14s 6d; sundries, 13s Id; balance in hand, £35 8s 7d. Total, £5G3 3s sd.

The Chairman said he thought the majority of the ratepayers were satisfied that the Board during the past year had acted for the general welfare of tho district: The retiring members having been re-elected proved this, the personnel of the new Board being the same as last year with the exception of Mr Harrow, who has been elected in the place of Mr Roberton, that gentleman not wishing to be on the Board again. He was glad to say the roads were in good order, better than they had usually been at this season of the year, although the traffic had very considerably increased. The work being done by the County CouTicil would be a great improve-, ment. The contract price for doing this ' work exceeded the amount at the disposal of the Council by about £100, which sum the Lake Board agreed to make good, or the work would not have been gone on with. . Besides the ordinary work done during the ; year, Sheriff's Hill had"*been repaired and I metalled, also the upper portion of Seaman's Hill. About twenty pounds had been spent on Barry's road in im-,, proving the approach to tho landing.'' and otherwise repairing the road. The road leading to the Lake by Mr Porter's property had been formed and metalled at a cost of about £18 ; towards which Mr Porter " gave £10. A good road and cause- •: way had been made to the beach, which would much facilitate the un loading of vessels coming there.. The road now known as the Sea View Road had been cleared, a culvert put in, and a cutting made at a cost of £14, out of j&2O, voted for that purpose. He might mention,; that a protest against opening thiaroad'" was received by the Board, signed by spme' twelve ratepayers, but as the Board were ' merely carrying out a work that hid been sanctioned and commenced 'by a former Board, and being ' also of the opinion that the public shoild have access to this fine beach at either end, they determined to go on with the work. " At a meeting of ratepayers held on May 6th, it was stated by one or two individuals that the contractors had been delivering smaller loads of scoria than they ought, accusing the Board and the Chairman in '', particular of knowing and allowing this,'' the Chairman being the owner of the pit. This accusation coming from such, a!.' quarter, he thought it was hardly necessary to refute it, as he was certain the majority of the ratepayers' did not believe that he would be guilty of, such meanness or dishonesty. There were always some discontented people in every,. district, who measured other people's corn by their own bushel, and who could not understand anyone being actuated by other , than selfish motives. The contractors he :, had always found to be honest and trust*" worthy, also Mr Holloway, who took delivery ' of the scoria and kept the tally, and who had instructions from hhn, to see that full loads were delivered.; r 'JWL had given a good deal of time and taken, much trouble to supervise the work author-... ised by the Board, and he was glad to say all members of the Board pulled well together. J No part of the district was favoured^ but the Board endeavoured to act for, thoj benefit of the ratepayers generally. .Thai Chairman then moved that the balance- ■ sheet, as read by the Secretary, be adopted.'. Mr Brett seconded this motion, and after f some discussion, during which personalities were rather freely indulged in, the motiou, was carried without a dissenting voice, f, V; ",' Mr Harrow here implored the meeting to, listen to some doggerel verse which he had J prepared for the occasion. After hearing, the first few lines, however, the ratepayers ' could stand no more, and testified theirf feelings so emphatically that the poet-co V,' lapsed. j'...... i,' ; An 7 On the motion of Mr Brett, seconded by' Mr Meatyard, a vote of thanks was accorded, to the Chairman of the Board for the fair and impartial way in which he had acted during the year, the large amount of iworkf done being in a large measure owing to tha, time and trouble he had taken. ;,, ' Mr Black thanked the ratepayers, and said he was.glad to find: his actions met with their approval} after which the moot ing separated. ._■■ , ..,. ..r.'f:;;
