Mr. W. J. Wild, whose collection of £1/10/0 is acknowledged ab6ve writes that as he is working on a mill he cannot collect very much. We wish he would go out and bite the hundreds on mills and in otliev employments who have not so much as made a sound. They might then be infected with his loyalty and enthusiasm.

E. M. G. Hunter, Thornton, Rotorua, sends the following letter: "Woald you please send The jtfatfrlfcmd IVorlfer for a year beginning from date pf the receipt of this letter, as ft find 'ft good reading and sound reason. I should like to see it more appreciated Iγ the workers. It would greatly assist the Democratic Socialists (o lift the yoke from our nocks. I encloso £1 and you can give iho balance to the Broken Hill Miners' Fund." Mr. Hunter's example is another for lax members to copy. We only wanted 1/- from him for tlieso minei's and he has given us nearly twelve times as much.

Alex. McLeod, Masterlon, writes: "I might state that I am heartily in accord with your contention that we .should loyally support tho gallant men and women in Broken Hill whose suffering:.; must, be ot! a nature., uiiiuhl in their splendid fight: for teller conditions. Considering that we are out not only to link up the worker,;; inlercolonially but internationally I think it would ln> an earnest of our sincerity if. \\v vvt-rr?
