RELIEF PAY CUTS
[to the editor.] Sir, —Referring to Mr. Mulcare’s question in regards to cuts at Blackball, I have been waiting for someone to contradict that statement of Mr. Jessep’s, viz., no cuts on the Coast. Well, Mr. Editor, the i’our-day men were receiving £7/10/- per month up till the latter part of October. From that time till the present they are receiving £6 per month, and how a man is going to be able to feed and clothe, also pay for school books, etc., it will beat mo. If that reduction does not amount to a cut, what is a. cut? Then there is another 15 per cent, gone somewhere. It seems a mystery, anyhow the children are suffering through someone’s fault. Mr. Jessop might have visited Blackball, as there are more unemployed here than any other part of the Coast. —I am, .yours etc., PUZZLED. Blackball, March 8.
