COURTESY OF NELSON’S LABOUR BUREAU -

ITo the Editor) Sir,—Would you kindly allow-- me space :n your paper to express a few words of thanks to tlie staff of the Labour Bureau, Nelson. Prior to the Christmas holidays a, letter was published by “Fairplav.” The liom de plume, m my opinion, was not an appropriate one as some of -his statements savoured very little of “Eairplay” towards 1 a staff, who in my opinion has shown every consideration and courtesy towards the relief workers of Nelson anil .district. I speak with experience, not only as a relief worker, but as a member of the executive of the Relief | Workers' Association. “Fairplay’s” lot.I ter has no doubt ere this died a- natui nil death; but one statement in par-.; tieular, in which lie alleges lack ofcourtesy to relief workers as shown, by, the staff of the Labour Bureau leave a' bad taste. To tin's statement I give an emphatic denial and I think 'I voice the'; sentiments of the majority of • relief workers in the Nelson district. It has!, been my experience and no doubt thatof numerous others to be treated coins! teously, and shown every consideration' by a staff who I know :jt times are liar*, asset! and have tempers on edge. I do 1 not know whether “Eairplay” has had. any experience of other Labour Bureaux.; I have, and I can honestly say that' Nelson • has’ every reason to be proud; of the staff of the Labour Bureau.—l am, etc., “SATISFIED.” '■ Wangapeka, 20th January. >.
