WORK AND WAGES.

To the Editor,

Sir, —After reading “Still Labourer's” incoherent epistle in your issue of 23rd inst. I can quite believe that he is “still a labourer” and I think always will be. He distinctly mentioned City Council employees in his first letter besides “railway men and others,” which he so glibly puts in his second letter and ignores “Not a Labourer” and “Baldy’s” explanation and proceeds to write a lot of rot. These two writers were evidently not interested in “railwaymen and others” so dealt only with, council employees. “Still Labourer” ignores their correction and does not admit that he made a mistake. “Still Labourer” will never be a real labourer, he is evidently of the breed that would like to see his fellow worker pulled down to his own level and would cry and squeal if a man working on the same job got 6d per day more than he or was working an hour or so more than he, instead of congratulating him on his slight success. —I am, etc.,

"UNIONIST.”
