SUBURBAN FARES TO ME EDITOR.

Sir,— Very often you hear comments on the injustice of excluding all those workers who are not required in their various occupations to be in attendance before 0 a.m., from benefiting from the special concession granted to other workers in way of reduction in fares. If the time for using a worker's ticket was extended on the'Petono line to the 8.17 train, it would meet the case as regards the workers there. That the pay of those excluded, as a rule, is smaller than those of the 8 o'clock-at-work citizons can be accepted as a fact, for it is just the office workers like clerks, typists, etc., that in tho community come under the heading of "underpaid." Living | in. the suburbs, instead of the congested town area, should certainly bo encouraged in every way by tho Government from more than one point of view. — I am, etc., ONE OF THE MANY. 19th October.
