"In rnv district," said a delegate at the Sawmill and Timberyard Employees' Conference at Christchurch on Wednesday, "there are plenty of employers who approve the idea of an hour's mid-day rest for a horse, but think three-quarters of an hour sufficient for a man's dinner-time. You see one they buy and the other they hire. They can get men, but they have to buy horses, and pay £4O for them. If 1 have indigestion because I bolt my dinner in three-quarters of an hour, if 1 bend down and break my belt straight after a. feed, it don't matter. He can get another servant.

I am so old now that I cannot use my pen, so am getting my niece, Mrs E. Wylie, to sign this." Sold by Kettle Bros., Greymouth. ,-Advt,
