ENGLISH COLONIES v. ENGLISH LABOUR. TO THE EDITOR.
Sib — As your columns are always open to discuss fair play, I would like to say a little on the foregoing subject if it is not trespassing upon your valuable space. Now, sir, as New Zealand is a free country and a dependency of the English Crown, it has occurred to me that it is a very strange thing that English foremen should be removed from office on pnbho works, &c, and foreigners such as Dutchmen and Germans installed in their place. Now, sir, it has occurred to me that if English foremen have filled such offices, and have been removed by superior officers on account of inefficiency or other causes, is it just to allow Germans to fill their office to the, detriment of English labour by replacingsuch labour by foreigners ? I contend, Mr. Editor, that such men are not qualified to retain such office if they will not distribute such labour in a just and impartial manner. I am, &c, An Englishman.
