HINDU LABOUR.

TO THE F.DITGU OV "THE I-Rr.SS." f| Sir, —Labour's attitude in respect tA l' ,f ? Hindu workers needs 110 extended ex- «, planation. Labour cannot atiord :o ' * sink the instinct- of soli'-presenatiei:, irrespective of the instinct of ra<v- • ; preservation. If labourers adopt-ed the . , principle of "brotherhood of man.'' this 1 ' sentiment- micrlu bo trespassed u:>on l>v some employers socking ]>ersonal ;uivantagos. Such a policy would l>o uv> dangerous to put into practice even if th<\v wished to extotid the hand of f<-l- I lows'aip to the Hindus. Labour may !v ! unreasonably suspicious in this ease, as "• ! the danger appears to bo negligible. but I feel porMiaded that employers »!<> ' not view the inllux of Hindus from ;ho spirit of tiio "brotherhood of man." — l Yours, etc..
