APPRENTICE LABOUR.
I read with interest in your columns the recent remark-, made by Mr. Stevens, president of the Manufacturer*' , Association, speaking ni a private capacity, to the effect that "industry needs efficient labour, not cheap labour." Ho was spenking in regard to a proposal submitted to the Minister of Labour for subsidising wages of adults to repatriate them into secondary industry, but if his words were meant to relate to the present system of apprenticeships. I feel that most apprentices in Auckland would heartily agree with him. Any moderate system that the apprentices should suggest for more advanced training should have the full co-operation of Mr. Stevens. ALREADY AX APPRENTICE.
