THE MAYOR AND THE TOWN HALL.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—The Rev. E. T. Cox must surely have intended to. tickle the ears of the groundlings when in his speech at South Dunedin last night he made the following statement:—“The Labour council had made secure the employment of every man and woman in its service from the office boy to the head of the department. Hitherto the head had had the power of life and death (that was an old capitalistic policy). This kept the employee in constant fear of dismissal. May I ask the mayor whether this awful state of tyranny -is responsible for so many of the staff remaining in the employ of the corporation for such long periods as the great majority have? What utter rubbish some candidates can talk.— l am, etc., Carolus. May 7.
