FOREIGN TIMBER.
TO THE EDITOR. Sn, j road in your issue of to day that the Southland Sawmill Workers Union has decided to protest against the importation of foreign timbers. With view to an auomotio adjustment, may I suggest that the members of the union should “swap” places with the people on the land. Or to deal with the matter in a more serious way “coining events oast their shadow before,” and this is one of the shadows. Members of trades unions in New Zealand will bo very well advised to take a much wider view of the industrial position of the world than they are apparently doing at the presen time. It is nothing to mo, and I suppose they will end in buying their own experience painfully, and at a high price.—l am, elo ' H. A. Wankltn.
