WORK AND SUSTENANCE.
Sir,—l, -while in thorough agreement on general principles with "Ratepayer and the apostle ho quotes on the precept of " no work, 110 oats," would like to make it clear tu " Ratepayer" that the principle hardly applies in this case. Rather is the boot on the other _ leg, and the question ha* resolved itself stage by stage, into one of " do pay, no work." With the increased wage tax, together with the manifold forms of taxation now in force, the Government, with a little display of humanity, should be in position to concede our petitions, which are ns follows Single men 255, married men £2 ss, and 5s child, and no stand-down week. Single men in camps, full time, same rate, P. ® tucker, or a piece-work rate at which said sum can bo made. At moment we are awaiting advice from Wellington as lo the acceptance of these conditions. Sing he Unemployed Suburbanite.
