married men had themselves to blame for allowing the position to develop; the speaker admitted that he had rather tucked himself away at that meeting when the temper of a certain element made itself apparent. With, regard to the first cause of the trouble, the- question of the pay-out in time to permit tho men to do their Shopping before the shops shut for Anniversary .Day and tho butchers till Monday molming, there was, as the men then, saw it, some, sound cause for grumbling, "The Post's" informant continued, foi? on a previous occasion the pay-out had been delayed; till a good deal 'pf inconvenience in week-end shopping had resulted. Had the men been told of the arrangements made the trouble could have been, avoided, but they did not learn of 'them'till■ afterwards.
"Whatever may be the aims of a certain, section, of the men," he concluded, "you can take it from, me that the majority of the married men -want to' carry on. All this high-flying talk of organisation is.not nearly so satisfying to the wife and kids as a few days' work, even if the pay is underrate." .
