LESS THAN 14s A DAY.
(To The Editor.) Sir.—" Worker’s Wife’’ writes how hard it is to mange on 14s a day- My husband works in a cheese factory and gets Ils 7d a day for seven daya a week, and only in the season, so is out of work a few months in the winter. It would pdy us just the same to go on relief work for 5J days a week, wouldn’t it? Anyway, the heads must think we do all right on it so are cutting off 4s * week, making tho seven days a week’s earnings to £3 17s, «o I would like some of tho farmers who aro grumbling about hard times to live on that and pay rent, light, food, firing, insurance, clothing, doctors, etc., on it, and save what’s over for the winter.—l am, etc.,
ANOTHER WORKER’S WIEE.
