THE RIGHT TO WORK?
TO THE EDITOB Sib, —Your issue of June 16 reported that three youths were before the court for endeavouring to get around the law for the purpose of procuring work. As the situation now is, unless a person can get some work he'must either starve or steal. What a condition of affairs when there is so much work to be done and so many willing hands to perform it! In days gone by we used to have the “ tired Tim ” argument trotted out against us. but this unemployed menace has tilled it as dead as surely it ever could be. We are now faced with the situation of finding work for the workiess. It is not a question whether they will take it or not when found. And if they do not go in by the orthodox legal gate, then they will get gaol in future. — I am, etc., June 18. P. Neuron.
