RAILWAY WORKSrTo the Editor of the Times.) Sir, —ln reading the morning Times I noticed a letter written by “Young New Zealander,” and I should like to be allowed space to check him in his wild career, as he might land himself into trouble. With reference to the term “ waster ” which he applies to me, how was it he always wanted “ waster ” with him when he was working his horses, and would not take anyone else to look after his interests'? I can quite understand j him sticking up for the railway, as we all know he had a very good innings, and he is also a very prominent supporter of our worthy member, so it iB his bread and butter he is looking after. But let me tell him if he got well treated that is not to say that everybody did. I hope that they may give him a start again for his trouble. He also states that he owes nobody- anything. I think he owes a lot of gratitude to his fellow workmen, for somebody- was always waiting on his wants. Now, sir, to conclude with I would like to say that the men who received 7s 4d per day do not know why they received so little for their work, and if he says I am a “waster” again I will have moire to say. —I am, etc., Ob'S of the Sufferers.
