THE YOUNG PENALISED
. "H.ARD WORKER."
Sir, — Is it f.air, because inflation has got out of hand and there is more money1 than goods, that the young people should be penaiisedV Labour inspectors ha-ve visited clothing factories and forbidden overtime. Some young people are glad of a couple of hours' overtime twice a week. With the high co.st of livmg rhey cannot rnake ends meet, and those in high priced roojns ar.e so r,e pressed. The Government raised their own salaries £250 tax fr.ee, because of the high cost of living, which is proof of what they deny, that livmg costs have incr.eased and continue to do so out of all proportion go money value. Fancy a Labour Government stopping overtime au a 40-hour week! Stopping the making of^ciothing when there is such a shortage and returned so'ldiers particuiariy camiot get clothes. But Lfc seems that the Government does not care "two hoots" about the worker, and no longer is the Labour Government the worker's friend Yours etcv
