THE BRITISH WORKING MAN.
VIEWS OF A SWEDISH WRITER. > (by TELEGllAPll.—special correspondent). ' _ Auckland, May 5. Inquiries, into tlio . social conditions in London havo led Mr. Johan Hansson, a Swedish writer, who is at present in Auckland, to tho conclusion that the British working man is bettor off than his continental brethren. Compared with Germany, for instance, tho worker of England, Mr. Hansson considers, is hotter fed and hotter housed. A peculiarity that struck him in London and other largo cities was tho existence of a; sort of aristocracy in tho working class, itself. There was, of courso, a vast number of poor people amongst them, but be found that amongst tlio artisans ami organised workers' unions conditions were better than those of any working' class in Europe.
