The Whanga correspondent of the "Taranaki Herald" says:—A large number of workers on the railway constructions were disappointed beyond measure when they were handed ">id per hour for the last month's toil. One man in one of the parties is the father of a large family, who are living with him under canvas. He stated that for fifteen years he has been working on different works for the Public Works Department, and things such as these will not help even a man like Job to lead an honest life. He said that tea, bread, and butter alone for the maintenance of his family will cost as much as ~>d per hour of his toil.
