GOVERNMENTAL INDIOSYNCRASIES.
We are requested by the Government's agents, the Placement Department, to find at least one day's work for someone unemployed before Christmas. Unfortunately, some are in the position (forced there by the Government's recent legislation) to have to shorten hands, but that is neither Jiere nor there. But when the Government itself deliberately' sends work out of the country that can bo made here when making the above request, it is time to ask for a good and substantial reason. The instance in question is the Hamilton post office contract, where the facing material is specified terracotta, a material that must be imported, notwithstanding there are many stonemasons out of work and realty good, cheap stone available: again we ask whv. STONEMASON' LOOKIXU FOR WORK.
