THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE.
TO TIIE EDITOR. Sir,—Unionists require to look at the other view of the present position, for want of (rood cause they are alienating the sympathy of all classes of the community not Unionists, and indeed many thinking men who belong to the Unions. This must injure their cause, even if they were to succeed much more so if they fail! They hope to possess political power to support measures favourable to them. Will the alienation of the whole community not Unionists aid them? Is it not a fact that if every labouring man wanted to join the Unions there would not bo work for them, nor indeed would the Unions receive them! What, then, is to be the position of the poor working man who is not one of the elect? Is he to starve, and his children also? Is this not a combination worse than that of the so-called capitalist, so far as it affects that section of our community who can least afford to battle for its rights, the right to live and earn a livelihood !— am, &c., Onlooker.
