MR. TREGEAR.
♦ TO THE EDITOE. Sir,-- To-day marks the retirement of Mr. Edward Tregear from the post of Secretary of Labour, and I would ask — Why should he retire? It seems to me that the age-limit should not apply to him any more than it does to Judges of the Supreme Court. He is in full possession of all his faculties, and is the man whose efforts (conjointly with that of the late Mr. James Mackay) put every Labour Act now in force on the statutebook of the Dominion. Among Labour and employers' circles his retirement is bein» viewed with deep regret, because of his sincerity, fair-mindedness, and sympathy with all classes of the community, and because there is no man in ths department able to fill his place as an organiser, foreign correspondent, and kindly friend of men, women, and children I, for one, hope that his turee months' leave of absence will bring him back to the work which he so successfully began. — I am, etc., A WORKER. Wellington, 31st January.
