CORRESPONDENCE.
WATERFRONT LABOR. (To the Editor of the Heraio.) Sir,— l cannot miss, the opportunityof giving my views re trouble on tho waterfront m your .issue of the 22nd inst. Being an old stager I must admit \ t/nere is room for improvement, and, as pointed out, the whole responsibility lies on the shoulders of tho union, through continually admitting theso^ foreigners as members. Why -preference is given to tho foreigners I -cannot imagine, as a fair percentage -.of 'tho latter are ciuito strange to wharf work. If the members unite this matter can 'be settled without anj* inconvenience to tbe' employers, ' otherwise things may turn out more serious than Was at 'first anticipated. — I am, etc., A LUMPER.
