EIGHT HOURS' MOVEMENT.
To the Editor of the Evening Star: S IE> —i have to thank you for the noble sentiments you have expressed on the subject of the strike of the railway employees, and trust that the working men of Auckland will have no compromising, but will once for all have the eight hours' system inaugurated, and would propose that a meeting be at once called for that purpose. I think that no man can, with any justice either to himself or employer, work more than eight hours per day, and I hope the men who have now struck for that which is fairly their due will remember that the whole of the working men of Auckland are interested in their struggle, and hope that you will continue, as you have always done,-to uphold the right of the working man, and am sure that you will not lack support to your spirited journal. I am, &c, Labobeb,
