HIS YIEWS ON NEW ZEALAND.
MELBOURNE, September 30.
(Received September 30, at 9.30 a.m.)
Mr Tom Mann was welcomed at the Trades HaEL On being interviewed, he said that he would not care to express himself very freely in regard to some phases of life in New Zealand, but, speaking industrially, and of my own kind, he said he would be exceedingly glad to find the same condition of things prevail at Home. "If any man at Home were to ask me about the place I should say ' You receive 15s more weekly for an hour a day less. Of that fifteen you spend half, because of the higher cost of living, and that leaves you a margin of 7s 6d for an hour a day less work." He spoke in high commendation of the New Zealand Arbitration Act.
