COMPETITORS AND THE PUBLIC'S APPLAUSE.
a remarkable thing, that any man, whftther he be in high position or lowly, can decide whether the law of this. land Trill be carried into execution or not. Surely when a law', is passed by Parliament and it is plnccd on the-Statute Book, it must be carried out even if broken by the Government itself and more especially when broken by a email 6ection of the community. But-because it has organisation behind it, it is allowed, different treatment to that accorded an individual employer, who is pounced upon on every occasion that he commits a breach of the law. It is no wonder that the Arbitration Act is set at nalight .by .unions and is becoming abortive -when,the Government treat felony in this manner, and it is all the more reasdn why our industries are not increasing. Lastly, i ask you what' se : curity have the public got to stop a recurrence of such troubles, and what is tho jise of the country keeping up a Parliament to make laws to govern us when itself connives in the breaking of. them at the first opportunity arising—l am, etc., . . J. CLARK. Wellinston, March 7.
