WAIPORI RELIEF WORK.
TO TIIB EDITOR. Sir, —For something like two years the E.P. and L. Department have had the services of a capable group of men doing necessary work in the nature of road making and widening. This department is not financially embarrassed, and the fact that these men have not been paid standard rates plus camp allowance is probably an oversight. While these men have been doing work at Waipori others less capable and with fewer dependents have been placed on full-time jobs. It is this exploitation of willing workers that sickens them. It would be profitable to all concerned if the E.P. and L. Department would pay these men standard wages.—l am, etc., G. A. Herring. March 5.
