GOSPEL OF WORK
PREACHED TO TOILERS. PRIME MINISTER AMONG NAVVIES. (Special to “Chronicle.”) KAIKOHE, Oct. 19. “Our prosperity depends largely on tho agricultural community,” said the • Primo Minister when speaking to employees of the Public Works Department. “If they feel a slump we all feel it. Tho fact that we depend so much on the agriculturists is the reason for the cry for more production and more work. “I dannot understand people being happy if they have not plenty of work to do. We don’t stand for minimum hours; we don’t stand for a forty hours’ week; we believe in work, and if a man works hard and well, I say pay him well. Wo don’t want slave driving. I think you know me well enough for that. I think you will agree with mo that conditions on public works have very greatly improved of Hate.”
