(To the Editor.)
Sir, —At the present time, when organised efforts are being made to cope with the existing strained financial conditions the sympathy of those in more fortunate positions than the unemployed should be put to as much practical use as possible. Where working parties are engaged in relief works, a small cook house should be established where a rough and ready lunch could be provided. A few loaves of bread, a side of mutton, a bag of potatoes boiled in their jackets, and a boiler of tea would add nothing to the cost of the job. It is known that many relief workers have no lunch, and in consequence less work is done besides making matters awkward for those who are fortunate enough to possess a snack at lunch time. I am sure, if this were done, it would not only return a better result on the job, but would be greatly appreciated by the workers. The only people who would be likely to be displeased would be the Communists.—l am, etc.,
EMPLOYEE.
