'IMMIGRATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT.
TO THE EDITOK,
Sir, — I .quite appreciate “i.P.’s'' letter, which is not a bit extravagant, on the treatment which is being dealt out to the working man who has a family to keep and who has to pay rent, pay the storekeeper, the butcher, and the baker; not saying anything of the soldiers who returned to find the country filling np with immigrants, who are, still coming. Surely “ A. 8.” is talking sound common sense. How does any human being expect a married man with a family, living in the twentieth century, to go into the country and keep two homes going on 12s per day? No man can do it. 1 have tried, given it up, and left it to the miracle worker. Every man will “ back up ” both Mr Harrison’s and “A.P.’s” letters trying to help the unemployed. It is time for Mr Coates to wake up to the position.— I am, etc., Weed Informed. February 24.
