THE TROUBLE ON THE MATANGI.
Sir, —I heartily agree with "Alton" on his remarks re tho victimisation of a young worker by his mates. Apparently the young man in question was not only a financial membor of his union, but a most efficient member of the crow. The action of the men was too cowardly for words, as their grievance dated back against him for over three years. " Alton's" inference that the men handled the trouble on the lines of "job control" raises a question on which I would like some explanation. What is "job control " Surely tho captain of a boat must have full control of his vessel, employ whom he will, and have his orders obediently carried out. So how can the firemen and crew with their job boss hope to carry out their wishes ? There would immediately be a conflict. "Alton" might bo able to give tho theory, and why it is so often tried. It seems fo me to be dangerous, as there can bo only 0110 captain and ono set of orders. Welfare.
