"THE WRECK OF THE HARBOUR BOARD."

o Sir,—Tho wreck of tho Devon was uno fortunate. Tho wreck of tho Harbour )- Board is deplorable. Timo and again o the sea has receded, leaving bare tho i- ugly jagged rocks of tho watersido workd .ors. And this timo Captain Fletcher t (his own pilot) has run the ship "right on." Three shillings an hour ordinary t timo I Six shillings an. hour overtime! ~ It is hard to realiso that this can bo h true. Surely wo aro not living in God's it Own Country! No, it is true, we aro «■ not. This is tho Waterside Workers' t- Country. d It is a perfect disgrace and an insult g to the people that elected tho board, o tliat they (tho board) should behavo as they did. Is there a political move bee hind it all ? Is it not an endeavour to find favour with tho lumners? It is timo wo had a chairman with more backd bone. If lie continues he will sudor from 0 spinal curvature caused by bending to r ' tlie "rulers of tho wharf" —tlio watcr- ° side workers. n Trusting that this letter will awaken !« tho people to a true vision of this affair, ls and hoping that the chairman himself in future show some independence of tho 11 watersido workers.—l am, etc., d WALTER E. HALL. Ie — ' * • [1 An energetic campaign is to start on it September 10 in Auckland, the objcct of t which is to raise money to erect suit'll able premises for tho Y.W.C.A. It is c- lclt- that as the young men have been r- so well provided for, the young women ■d are at least entitled to similar consider--r ation at tho hands of citizens. Tho a campaign will last until 'd Some twenty captains have been 'ap- !"• pointed, and there are 200 teams of eollectors, whoso, duty it will bo to thoroughly canvas tho city and suburbs. Miss Barnes, organising secretary for e " Australia, is in Auckland at present. !>• 'tl The advertisement is quality in Ihr id bottle and duality has always )i»n the ie mot*, of Messrs. .Markie ami Co., l)i>tilt 1 iois Ltd., the proprietors of the famous K i "WHITE HORSE" Whisky.
