RELIEF WORK.
Sir,—On behalf of the unemployed relief workers let, me say it makes my heart, acho to see the men working on tlva roads doing various silly work, including chipping grass in (he pouring rain all or most of the day. The wardrobes of these men arc not stuffed full of suits. Besides whore is the sense in compelling them to work all through a drenching wet day or lose their pittance. They have to stand down certain periods; therefore why not allow men to go homo ii it iv wet and come to work when it clears, giving thorn the right to work so many hours per month and pick (lie good days. Where is the sense in compelling them to work a week of shocking weather and stand down on four or five boautiful days because their hours had been worked ? Can't tho authorities liavo a heart. 'I ho outlook for these men and their families is black indeed. You and I should kneel in humble thanks <o f J od that so far wo are spared this dreadful calamity. Have a Heart.
