COAL AND CEMENT.

TO THS EDITOR. fijr, —l read with interest ycur article upon the cement problem,. and would like to add my quota to an important discussion. Your, capitalist'■'contemporary, 'the “ Post,” "cannot, of course, refrain from having a gird at the miner, hut wjiv barn at him ? 1 venture" to think were the coal minora given the conditions they are striving for, -were less greed manifested by vested interests did the State take a more kindly interest from the toilers’ standpoint, there would be less cause for grousing about coal output. Let also the public show a better spirit in backing up the demands of this useful class and show pronounced disapproval of a_ parasitic class all too numerous in this Dominion.. Let our private enterprise, class-robbing Government devote what energies and. abilities it possesses in nh Earnest, businesslike attempt at State control of industry, instead of encouraging other States to bleed us, vide some of the imported coal we are at present getting, and we shall not be long in accumulating a plentiful supply of an essential commodity-—T am. etc., WATERDIfItL.
