INFORMATION WANTED.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —My attention has been drawn to an article by "Seeker” in the edition of your paper of last Tuesday where he says a friend of his got the sack as a hotel porter because there was no ''deduction to be made 'from his wages for drinks. If there is any truth in it, I think, in fairness to hotel-keepers, the name of the licensee should be published, or, failing that, he would send his name to the secretary of the Licensed Victuallers’ Committee, box 740, Auckland, who welcome for inquiry not only complaints like this, but from anyone who feels they have been unjustly treated by any hotel proprietor. Licensees in New Zealand are not so inhuman as some newspapers never miss an opportunity of making them appear.—l am, etc., J. RAWLINS ON. Hamilton East, Aug. 29. (Our contributor is asking his informant to do as requested. The mention of a hotelkeeper’s alleged unjust treatment of an employee was simply incidental to a story of help freely given to a man in distress.—Ed.)
