THE INCONVENIENCED PUBLIC

TO TEE EDUCE,

Sir, —I think it is about time that the public, aroused themselves against the unreasonable demands of these wharf labourers. It is unthinkable that ordinary labourers who have no responsibility and no brain work should be allowed to 1 command the wages they 1 do, w,hen a man who has served the allotted time on a trade has lo be contented with less money and have far more responsibility than the ordinary labourer has. It is high time that the public awoke to the fact that they have to suffer for all these unreasonable and extortionate demands which aro being' made daily upon their earnings to help these avaricious men. Not only do the younger part of the public have to suffer, for these excessive demands, but older people who are not able to go about have to fulfer far 1 more severely than the younger people do. I think it Is lime something was done to prevent I these stop-work meetings and strikes, | so that the country can have peace and quietness, which they will not have until these men are shown that the public will not stand too much of these sort of goings on. Trusting something will be done ( to stop the continual strikes and stop-worik meetings and inconveniences of the public.—l am, etc., DISGUSTED.
