LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

1. Letters sent to the Editor for printing must be written in ink on one side of the paper only, and writers must send in their names and addresses in full, whether they wish these to be printed or not. 2. Writers must say clearly whether or not their letters are being or have been sent to other papers. 3. The Editor cannot return or keep any letter which for any reason is unsuitable for printing, nor can be acknowledge unsuitable letters, although this will be done where it seems to be needful, or enter into any correspondence about letters sent in. 4. Letters must not be of more than 150 words in length. W.' Hart (Kaiapoi).—Letters limited to 150 words. R.l.C.—Donation forwarded to our contemporary, which is organising the fund. Still Wondering.—" Just Wondering's” letter appeared in our contemporary. Your letter forwarded. Union Jack.—The works manager at Addington Workshops says in reply to your letter: "No gang *has worked hours anything like those mentioned.” He added that the 40-hour week was strictly observed, except in cases of breakdown of plant. Staff on the night shift worked from 4.30 p.m. to 12.30 a.m. "The men compelled to pay to two unions" might refer to the boilermarkers. He believed that some time ago they were obliged to join the Boilermakers' Union as well as the Railway Employees' Union.
