TRAMS.
j "Shanks' Pony's" idea of housewives of her type having a week's holiday at home would do the trams no harm, but the good hard-working hurfiands would pain the benefit iby being provided with a good wholesome meal for one week in place of the usual three-minute fry Tip. and be able to sit in comfort- in the tram in place of strap hanging after a heavy eight-hour work. 7f the girls of this country kept their place by keeping the home in good order and allowed the male members of the community to stand up for their right side by side as the '"tra.nmies" are tryinjr to do, we could all have a reasonable wage, but to take advice from "banks' Pony? is only a good way to reduce wa<we and break down a system which will benefit all. Further let me enlighten '"Shank® pony" that all "trammies" are not provided with uniforms, and while some work all through the nirht others are compelled to walk to work leaving home as early as 3 a.m. and home again after all trams have stopped in rain, hail or sunshine. How does this appeal t® "Shanks' Ponv." MOUSEY.
