DRAINAGE BOARD REPRESENTATION
Sir,—At the Drainage Board’s lively meeting, which you report, I notice that the chairman’s summing up completely failed to enlighten Mr Harvey. He, Mr Harvey, insists that the presence of the employees’ professional champion at conciliation proceedings—she, Miss Howard, being at the same time a member of the board —is anomalous and improper. Thereby he fails to perceive and admit the essential nature of conciliation, whose object is to cut out or reduce the never-end-ing crop of causes of conflict, legal or extra-legal, on the fields of class war: its method, mutual consideration and civic spirit, beginning with civility in procedure.—Yours, etc., S. T. FOURNIER. September 23, 1942.
