In the flatter of the question of the self-interest of the parties. Mr. Hall's invitation-, may posj sibly remain ignored. It -is by no means proved that the head business tirmg are losing', v by the disputes. It is more than provedMhat the public suffer. Then what incentive can there be for Mr. Hnrkness to satisfactorily respond to Sir. Hall's invitation? It is well known that thert> are "haves" and "have-nots" among the workers on 1 the waterfront, and while the former have the loudest voice the latter can go 011 complaining. It is a blot on. the system that somo should have to complain of overwork while so many have to hang 'about weary waiting.—l am, etc., H. BODLEX. „ May IC, 1919.
